Now I’m not religious but some Jehovah’s witnesses came knocking on my door eilier today and shown me this scripture (Matthew 24 verse 3-14) “3 While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”

4 And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads YOU; 5 for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6 YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.

7 “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.

9 “Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. 10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.”

What are your thoughts on this? To me that is very scary and the bible has got it spot on especially since it was written 1900+ years ago, things were so different back then to what they are now. We’ve already had 4 major earthquakes this year, a couple last year and there’s a predicted one to hit California in not so long from now.

Thanks for your opinions! They really help me and even if your answer isn’t very detailed I still don’t mind.

Many thanks, Ryan.
