NOT the tribulation (so please don't drone on about making careless predictions about the end of the world), but the troubling times that precede it. I know what the preterists will obviously say. I'm wondering what futurists think.
Wars and rumors of wars* -- pretty much every major power in the world is involved in some kind of conflict or dispute with another country (so many that it would have been tedious to list them here).
* I think we should include the economic/currency wars between the world powers (for those privy to the current situation in global economics).
Nation against nation (or tribe against tribe) -- all the protests, demonstrations, riots and coups in Latin America, North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia (again, too many for me to give links).
Pestilences -- MERS, ebola outbreaks, resurgence of measles and mumps.
Earthquakes -- not just magnitude and frequency, but earthquakes happening in unexpected locations.
Persecution of the church -- discussed here.
False prophets -- impending doom of Y2k, to comet Elenin, to 2012 and everything in between.
The love of many will wax cold -- I don't think I need to elaborate on this one as it's all too obvious based on the cruelty we're seeing in society and how uncaring it is (i.e. few examples: here, here, here here here).
