In my view both are true. We are living in the end times (doubt it goes down like any of us percieve it will though) and there is a Great Awakening happening. Much of the end times is arguable from so many different points of view that is can be overbearing to find a true answer. I dont really agree with much of the rapture argument... though i accept that i could be wrong. As with everything i take it to Jesus in prayer.
What i think is truly important about Revelations is not the darkness you see when reading through it. It is the promise. This story ends with 1000 years of peace on earth and Jesus Christ himself on the Throne. You can spend your whole life reading through Revelations and Daniel and never find a concrete answer. You are not supposed to. The answer is, and always has been since His sacrifice, Jesus Christ!
I too live in solitude. I interect with the world only when my heart tells me to. Even then i am reluctant to really let people know. Most of us Christians have a huge problem. We think it is our task to save everyone else, we must save all the sinners. I have dropped this thinking. My task is not to convert those who do not see Him, instead it is to improve my life by displaying his Character any time He calls on me to do so. Jesus is Salvation, He alone can save all who are lost, we are here to be ready to do His Will anytime we are called upon.
I pray for this world! I pray for all of you anons. Mostly, i pray for our children. It is their generation that will either "Know God" or it is their generation who will forsake Him.
If you are a believer i can only recommend what i do. I pray and Jesus answers, i believe i know the times and i believe only Jesus can tell you what that means.
Regardless of the times... i wish peace to all of you, believer and non believer. We can choose to be different, Jesus can show us the way. For narrow is the path.
