As of 2010, there are more than 20 major civil and international conflicts involving, among others, the nations of:

India

Afghanistan

Somalia

Iraq

Pakistan

Mexico

Myanmar

Iran

Israel

Nigeria

Colombia

Peru

Indonesia

the Philippines

Turkey

Iraqi Kurdistan

Ethiopia

Algeria

Mali

Mauritania

Morocco

Tunisia

Thailand

Chad

Eritrea

Russia

U.S.A.

Yemen

7 of these wars involve at least 1000 deaths per year. The others have had a combined death toll of 10s of thousands over the course of the conflict.

Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of wars signaling the coming of the end. There is not a time in history that somebody, somewhere in the world must have been imagining the world was coming to an end. In this way, these prophecies can be said to be continuously unfolding. But it can and will get worse.
