Many people acknowledge that we are now living in times of deep despair and heartbreak. With police brutality, fighting between nations and environmental problems it’s hard to not think the end of the world is here. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that these are the last days, and use scripture to back up their claims. They believe these modern events are direct Biblical prophecies that are being increasingly filled in the last 100 years. Matthew 24 is typically cited, because Jesus speaks of the end having an increase in wards, food shortages, diseases and earthquakes. They also point to 2 Timothy 3:1-5 which characterizes the end as a time where people are more selfish, have a lack of self-control, and are turning away from religion.
