Yes, Les Feldick believes we are close to the end times.
Les Feldick points to the rapid deterioration of morality and the fabric of Christian society as evidence that the end is near. He also sees global turmoil, such as wars and distress among nations, aligning with biblical prophecy, and emphasizes that while we can't set dates, all signs indicate the return of Christ is 'getting close.'
Matthew 24:37 — Jesus compares the days before His coming to the days of Noah, which Les uses to show that societal conditions before the flood mirror today's moral decline.
In Matthew 24, Jesus speaks of the time of His coming: 'But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be' (Matthew 24:37). He describes that in those days before the flood, people were 'eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark.' This indicates that life may seem normal, but judgment is imminent. Luke 21:25 mentions 'distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring,' which points to global turmoil that leaves people without answers. Revelation 9:20-21 describes the wickedness and unrepentance of humanity during the tribulation, showing a pattern of moral decline.
Les teaches that we are living in the last moments of the age of grace. He sees the world rapidly falling apart morally, with the 'very fabric of Christian society' collapsing. He compares this to the days of Noah, where wickedness and unbelief 'mushroomed' before judgment. Les observes global events—wars in various regions, the Middle East broiling, and technology and global politics moving toward a one-world system—as signs that the time is short. He emphasizes that we are not date-setters, but the convergence of these signs convinces him that the Lord's return is 'verily at the doors.'
Les sees a rapid decline in morality, with the 'fabric of Christian society falling apart.' He notes that wickedness and unbelief are 'mushrooming' everywhere. He shares an account from a moving company owner whose workers attended a house party with extreme drug and sexual behavior, indicating how far conduct has descended.
Les cites the 'Middle East broils' and conflicts such as fighting in Sri Lanka, Yugoslavia, and Africa as evidence of the 'distress of nations' mentioned in Luke 21:25. He believes these events show the world is rushing toward the time when the man of sin will appear, aligning with biblical prophecy.
No, Les explicitly says he is not a date-setter and does not know the year the Lord will return. However, he believes it is getting close based on the evidence of moral and international conditions.
Modern Parallel to Israel's Failure
Les notes that people today, like Israel, try to establish righteousness through works without faith, showing a lack of genuine relationship with God, which is part of the moral decline.
Days of Noah Parallel
Les draws a direct parallel between the rapid moral decline in Noah's day and today, using Jesus' words that the end times would be like the days of Noah.
When Will Old Testament Saints Rise? Daniel 12 Explained:
But the worst is still to come, all right? Daniel saw it. The wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand. You know, just last night a gentleman that we led to the Lord, just a few years ago, and he has just grown so fast, he said, you know, Les, he said five years ago, he said, I could watch all this stuff happening in the world, and he said it didn't mean a thing to me.
Days of Noah and Middle East
Les reiterates that the events of the days of Noah are repeating today, and he points to the broiling Middle East as a sign that the end is close.
Wickedness Mushrooming
Les states that wickedness and unbelief are continuing to mushroom globally, and he connects this to his belief that the return is near.
World Events as Signs
Les points to technology exploding, global politics, economics, and religions coming under one headship as clear signs that the time is short.
What the Bible Says About Sodom, Lot, and Judgment (Romans 1)
We can be a little tiny voice in the wilderness, so to speak. And I know we're still approaching people. Even in my small little effort, I know I have been privileged to see hundreds of people get interested in the Word, and a fair number come to know the Lord. But for the most part, we're going to see the world wax worse and worse.
Why the Church Will Not Go Through the Tribulation
As we get to the end of that last three and a half years, the plagues are going to get so awful, cosmic disturbances are going to get so awful, death is going to be just running rampant, and it's going to be one thing right after another until Christ appears, and then that of course is the delivery. So then, all these things are the beginning of sorrows. Now let's go back then to Revelation.
Matthew 24:37: But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Jesus compares the end times to Noah's days, when society was corrupt and judgment came suddenly.
Luke 21:25: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
This describes global turmoil and perplexity, which Les sees reflected in current world events.
2 Timothy 3:1: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Indicates that the last days will be marked by perilous conditions, aligning with Les's view of moral decline.
Revelation 9:20: And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Shows the persistent wickedness of humanity even under judgment, which Les uses to illustrate the end-time picture.
Les points to rapid moral decline, the world moving toward a global system, the broiling Middle East, and conflicts in various regions as signs. He also references the days of Noah and Luke 21:25 to show that these conditions align with biblical prophecy.
Yes, he states that the return of the Lord is 'verily at the doors' and that we are living in the last moments of the age of grace, though he doesn't set a specific date.
