We are always in the "end times"

It has become fashionable among self-styled "Christians" to assert that Christians are under attack these days. I don't see it, and I'm pretty well-informed. Yes, superstitions like Creationism are under attack (actually, pretty much falsified) by science, but that's the superstition, not Christianity or Christians. The science of evolution isn't an attack on Christianity; plenty of Christians accept that all life on earth is related by descent and evolved over billions of years.

There have been Christian predictions of "the end times" for centuries based on a discredited reading of Revelations, but pointing out how wrong they were and how they were manufactured to raise money is not an attack on Christianity, just on some dumb and sometimes pernicious beliefs held by some Christians.

Jesus didn't teach about "the end times." Jesus didn't rally Christians to establish the state of Israel in order for it to be destroyed to fulfill the "end times" prophecy. Jesus said nothing about his followers being "raptured."

Look, if you want to believe we're in the end times, you be you. If I laugh in your face, it's not persecution, it's only that I find foolish beliefs funny. https://jabberwocking.com/the-coming-end-times-explain-some-of-donald-trumps-popularity/
