Are we living in the End Times?

We are also living in a time of apostacy - this is an interesing passage and a warning against apostacy -

Ezekiel6
The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them and say: ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places. Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols. I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars. Wherever you live, the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols smashed and ruined, your incense altars broken down, and what you have made wiped out. Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.

“‘But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations. Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices. And they will know that I am the Lord; I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the people of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague. One who is far away will die of the plague, and one who is near will fall by the sword, and anyone who survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I pour out my wrath on them. And they will know that I am the Lord, when their people lie slain among their idols around their altars, on every high hill and on all the mountaintops, under every spreading tree and every leafy oak—places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols. And I will stretch out my hand against them and make the land a desolate waste from the desert to Diblah—wherever they live. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

 

I will be praying for all no matter where I am. Just know that!

 

I used to think this could be the case...but I'm not sure how to reconcile this idea of it just feeling like the end times and then there being a whole new era, with the fact that Jesus told St. Faustina she and the "spark from Poland" were to prepare the world for His FINAL coming. How can His final coming be approaching with a sense of urgency, if there's a whole other thing going on that is just about a new era beginning, still on earth?

I had been talked into believing that this approaching time was a "second coming" of Christ (not in the flesh, but in the spirit) that wasn't the same as His "final coming"... but not only did the early Christians seem to think there was only one more return of Christ, but Jesus and Mary use the terms "final coming" and "second coming" interchangeably to St. Faustina.

Mary says:

"You have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge." (Diary 635)

And Jesus also calls it His final coming:

"You will prepare the world for My final coming." (Diary 429)

Jesus says that we are in the end times, with the next thing being the Day of Justice:

"Speak to the world about My mercy ... It is a sign for the end times. After it will come the Day of Justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fountain of My mercy." (Diary 848)

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

 

To prepare for my final coming.

His final coming could be two thousand years away.

For the Lord that is like 2 days.

So we are very near the end in God's time but not human time.

Just my thinking based on 30 years of interest in eschatology.

 

I don't think you have to reconcile the two options. Everything is likely going to happen in a way we cannot imagine. But being aware of the two is good.

I lean more towards the end of the end. Based off a line from Our Lady of the Good Event which parallels the beginning of Rev 20. That and other prophecy like Fatima and Garabandal.

The end of the end revolves around Genesis 3:15 IMO and who knows what's going on there. The cabal seems to have gained control over the last 100 years aligning with PLXIII's smoke of Satan premonition. A little time.

IIRC St. Faustina's diary talks about the dirty deals made in secret places. Every important Marian apparition seems to have cabal influencers trying to shut them down. So it seems like a seed war.

A new earth, a new era. These seem to be possibly what happens when serpent seed is removed from the equation. The ten Commandments, Jesus' ministry, while directed to everyone, appear to be primarily directed at the cabal.
