Let me shed some light on the different religions and what they warned us about regarding the end times. Let’s talk about Christianity. In Christianity, the Bible lays it all out. Second Timothy, chapter 3, verses 1 to 5, describes the last days in terrifying detail. It says people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, and not lovers of the good. That’s not some vague prophecy—this is exactly what is happening now.
Now, people worship themselves, money rules everything, pride and arrogance are celebrated, families are falling apart, and nobody cares about integrity anymore. It’s all about status, power, and how good you look online. In Islam, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, warned about the last hour. He said the most wicked among you will become your leaders. Trustworthiness will disappear, and people will compete in building extravagant structures. Does that sound familiar? Look at the state of the world right now: corrupt leaders everywhere, greedy billionaires hoarding wealth, giant skyscrapers built just so people can say, “Look how powerful we are.” Honor, honesty, humility? Gone.
We live in a world where lying gets you ahead and kindness gets you walked over. Isn’t that the truth? In Hinduism, the Kali Yuga prophecy describes an age of total darkness. Wealth alone will be the deciding factor of nobility. Men and women will live together merely because of superficial attraction. Rulers will become unreasonable, taxes will be charged unfairly, and those in power will seize everything. It is in Shreemad Bhagavatam, chapter 12, verse 2. This sounds familiar. Love isn’t love anymore; it’s clout, status, and convenience. The rich get richer, the poor get crushed. Governments exist to serve the elite, not the people. And morality—come on, it’s a joke. If you stand for anything pure or real, you are considered weak or the odd one out, the scapegoat.
Even Buddhism warns about this age of decline. People will be shameless and without integrity. Greed and anger will consume them, and they will worship false leaders. And that, my friend, is exactly what is happening.
