I never venture an opinion on whether we are actually living in the end times or not. But I'm willing to state dogmatically that the spirit of anti-christ is very active and plainly visible in Western culture right now.

My tradition (Lutheran, amillenialist) holds that we *are* living in the end times, and have been since the Resurrection/Ascension. While we aren't exactly reading Revelation with the Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other, we would generally accept examples of wars and rumors of war and famines and such as general confirmatory evidence that we are indeed in the end times, even as it doesn't say anything about the timing of The End (no one knowing the day or hour).

Oh, I say itтАЩs been nearly 20 centuries of end times, and perhaps 2 or 3 more to come.
