well it is about the end of times
and millenarianism
So it is a pastor assuring us this is the end of times - and all the things are predicted by the Revelation ....
think about the yada yada yada on this site about Brexit and apply it without change to Armageddon
" are we in the Last Days? yes we are - I am certain!" gives you some idea of the rest

Wikipedia gives a (constantly growing) list of all the end-times predictions, starting in 66 AD, and continuing up to the present day. I'm sure that all those who predicted the end-times in the past were just as convinced as the guy in the video.

I agree that we are the first generation to be living in the conditions where the end times could occur . I agree with a lot of what he said .
For me the key moment will be the introduction of the cashless society - we are the only generation in history to be living in conditions where this could occur .
( Jim he clearly means the six day war and you know it , and for others who are in to nit-picking you can fast forward to the bit where he says we have sent probes beyond our galaxy when he meant to say beyond our solar system )

Of course I can disagree with his interpretation. All he does us the usual thing of seeing what is around and fitting it to what he believes in, from the bible.
Of course if you create a nation in the middle of others it'll cause issues in the whole area. He seems fixated by the fact that Israel exists, and it's pushed him over the edge into these end times predictions.
Of course anything new can be used both for good and for bad. To go on about Crispr being used for perverted and perverse is a nonsense. It's there to use and the moral discussions are in process. It's just natural that not everything is done will be approved by all. It has no relationship to "end of times". It's all about twisting what is happening to fit an unsubstantiated belief.
Much of what he claims I have no desire to check, because this is clearly a case of pattern matching and an unworthy waste of my time. Who has time to read original ancient language texts and see if they really match anything occuring today ? The fact us that even if they did seem to match it would prove nothing other than, wait long enough and something will eventually seem to match one or more of many prophecies.
His desire for mankind to be just stuck in a garden of Eden obeying what they're told by an unelected ancient teacher of Judaism, is a somewhat an unnerving scenario. That is no heaven. That's stagnation and loss of reason.
Then he starts on about 7 and numerology. That's evidence right there that he's barking up the wrong tree. 666 is apparently an error anyway. Wasn't there discussion that it was supposed to be 616 but noted incorrectly at some point ?
And he returns to the knowledge explosion as if it showed evidence of his belief, but it's obvious that when you look at science seriously each new understanding gives many new things to investigate; so until one hits an issue with being able to test further, knowledge is going to increase on an exponential like curve. It's evidence of the expected not of biblical prophesy.

//So it is a pastor assuring us this is the end of times//
That’s clear from the title. I have, however, watched the video.
So, okay, let’s assume the man is right and the end of times is upon us. So what? What are we going to do about it? To those who accept that, like everything else in nature, some day we will die, it means nothing. To those afraid of that prospect it means a hope that they may save their skin and avoid what the rest of us regard as the inevitable.
But who can say with hand on heart that the nature of this God is something they admire? Think about what it is alleged to have done, the atrocities it has committed, that if committed by human being would see the perpetrator incarcerated for life in a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Who would want to spend eternity in its company? Not me.

I did indeed know he meant the Six Day War, but I think it's interesting that he made that mistake when trying to draw attention to the number seven, and its role in recent history. It's revealing to make mistakes like that, because he is creating his own coincidences. Not nit-picking at all. If people want to be taken seriously about predictions like this, then fabricating supporting evidence is not a good look.
Similarly, it's completely nonsensical to draw a link between the creation of Israel as a modern state and the recent scientific and technological progress, which simply follows on naturally from earlier scientific breakthroughs over the 19th and early 20th centuries. Deliberately defining 1948 as a starting point, whilst ignoring all the progress before then, is misleading at best.

The apparent cruelty of God is misunderstood.
Taking several events out of context will inevitably draw the wrong conclusions.
There needs to be a fuller appreciation of Gods character and works to get the true picture.
To paraphrase Brexit talks, "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed," "Nothing is understood until everything is understood."
