We clearly live in uncertain times. The fate of Planet Earth becomes more and more uncertain every day indeed that we are getting closer to the Second Coming of the Messiah is soon. However, many Believers have become extremely overanxious of prophesied events, indeed exemplifying a mentality of paranoia, and may allow Bible prophecy to motivate every area of their daily lives.

The Apostle Paul admonishes us to "not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit...to the effect that the day of the Lord has come" (2 Thessalonians 2:2). The Prophet Amos tells us, "Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD, for what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you?" (Amos 5:18). Although every Believer should eagerly seek the return of our Lord Yeshua, we must all remember to keep a valid an active testimony for Him, not on where we are in a constant state of "crying wolf."

This section addresses many of the phenomenon that can be labeled "end-time paranoia" (also known as "end-time mind control," "end-of-the-world fever," "end-of-the-world-is-tomorrow syndrome," and a host of other names). How are certain individuals going too far with their interpretations of Bible prophecy? How do we study prophecy and analyze current events realistically and tactfully?
