Are we now on the final culmination of events that will lead to the apocalypse now? One must only observe what’s happened to us as a race for the past few years to discover the answer to that question. One quick look at our rapid pace of development and it will look like we’re chasing something… Something that will come very soon. But what is it?

Is there going to be an apocalypse now or in the near future? Surely, there are indicators that the world is spinning totally out of control and only a cataclysm as great as a doomsday apocalypse can negate and destroy it all. Here are some of the signs that mark steep and highly unorthodox changes in the human race which strengthens claims that the world is really bound to end sooner rather than later.

Poverty and Famine is Rampant

This is the evidence of a true apocalypse now. People in Africa are starving, and one-third of people from third-world countries live under $1 a day. We have better technology especially in producing food, but every year, an escalating number of people become more famished and deprived of basic needs. The Bible says that before the world will end, the rich will enjoy luxury at the expense of billions of others dying because of their greed. Only at least 3% of humanity is enjoying life to the fullest. It’s about time the other 97% is emancipated from the bondage of poverty: an apocalypse that crosses all social strata.

Natural Wrath of Mother Earth

Mother Earth’s not happy these days. She was most furious this year, in 2010, when Haiti was shook so tremendously with an earthquake and killed more than half a million of Haitians. On the previous years tsunamis were prevalent and didn’t stop coming; hurricanes passed by America more frequently every year, and storms are now more violent than ever. If the planet is already starting to incur wrath upon us, is it possible that a final culmination on December 21, 2012 will arise? That all of Earth’s energies will burst forth and obliterate every single one of us? That we have yet to discover.

Warring Countries

Of course, the first and second world wars would have to account for almost all the major violence that occurred in the past century. At one point, it seemed that the world was bound to end during those times. Thankfully, it did not, for we’re still here. But the wars are also still here. America is battling Iraq and Afghanistan; tribal skirmishes from different parts of the globe still emerge. Last 2001, USA, the most powerful nation in the world, looked weak and defenseless when its two towers were destroyed by terrorists in a single sweep. Military advantage is now not America’s monopoly – countries like Korea are purported to have developed nuclear technology that they plan to release on other nations, which can be a potential start for another world war.

Disregard for the Environment

The world is simply dirtier than ever, thanks to our contribution of non-biodegradable waste and aerial wastages in the form of smoke coming out from cars. Our population has doubled rapidly in the last few decades, making our planet overcrowded and consequently we produce more waste. People in many parts of the globe practice deforestation and are not appalled by the effects it does to the world, such as global warming and depletion of the ozone layer. Several plant and animal species are now vitally endangered, with very few chances of survival outside laboratories.

General Deterioration of Human Values

The human race has become worse in general. Our crime rates increased, because of poverty.  Greed and corruption is rampant in government systems. The family, the basic unit of any society, is now in fragments and can be easily broken now more than ever. People are now lonelier, largely due to the psychotic effects of addictive technology, such as cellphones and the internet. Everywhere hope cannot be seen. People are not helping one another – each person is out for himself. Massive events of destruction aside, this is easily a tacit description of a human race in an apocalypse now.

In conclusion, these five factors can easily prove why an apocalypse is soon coming. Whether the apocalypse is now, or on December 2012, it doesn’t matter – the Bible’s revelations have come true, and we’re simply waiting for the final culmination – feel free to view more articles or browse more 2012 resources.
