The "End Times"

MD

When Alexander burned Persepolis, the Zoroastrians said it was end times.
When Genghis Khan burned Baghdad, the Muslim world said it was end times.
When Hitler marched through Europe, Christian Europeans said it was end times.
When ISIS was expanding, Conspiracy theorists said it was end times.

There will always be harsh realities of human nature and life. The end will come to those who fail to act when facing these realities.

There's always a chance that we're almost at the end...of something...End of the World? I strongly doubt it. End of the Era where the US is a Republic? Perhaps, but I still doubt it. End of era in which Christians dominate political decision-making in the US? I certainly hope so, but expect that continue for awhile yet.

Very insightful, thank you.

What? Me worry?
When I am confronted by some wild-eyed religioso that tells me these are the "end times" I ask them what did their boss say when they quit? They usually have an intelligent response such as "huh?". Well, I would continued, if you really believe these are the "end times" why in the world would you continue to work? Most of the time this met by silence or some veiled remark questioning my ancestral species.

I call nonsense, but what do you think? Are we in the "End Times"?

Nope. Our generations simply aren't that important.

To put that another way, I'll quote Nick Fury:

"Until such time as the world ends we will act as though it intends to spin on."

We are always on the cusp of extinction-level events. There are several ways we could all be dead tomorrow. Here are some ways that various governments could guarantee the deaths of almost every human on Earth within a month:
  • Make cigarettes free
  • Use WD-40 on the Ocean
  • Crossbreed spiders with African bees (yes someone would)
  • Teach cats hypnosis
  • Clone the dinosaurs
  • Let super mice escape from Science labs

We are in all probability doomed already.

We're at the end of the common era and the energy climate era is begging.

We might be in the final strech due to things like climate change.

Any immediate end? Not so much.
An audio book I listened to talks about us entering the energy climate age.

The "end times" as understood by Baha'is usually means the previous cycle has ended and a new cycle has begun... that this process began early in the nineteenth century. You can see how in this age people regard the earth and our place in the cosmos in entirely new ways from our predecessors in the eighteenth century.
