The OP asks THE question on most of our minds because anyone with discernment knows that it's just a matter of when, not if, the SHTF.

Sadly, I'm starting to think we have a lot longer to go before the progressively bad gets better.

As a believer in the Word of God(YHVH), Yeshua, I've begun to see that perhaps the time of Jacob's trouble may just be beginning. And if it's true that God declares the end from the beginning, than we'll have a period of 20 years before Yeshua returns, give or take.

It is my hope that we've already long since entered that 20 year period(perhaps 9/11 or the Israeli/Palestine land agreements from the 90's?). There does seem to be signs, however, that this spring(3/22) might very well kick off the time of Jacob's trouble, spoken of by the prophets and Yeshua Himself.
