    Prophecy has not been fulfilled yet when all the conditions have been met he'll return.

    We know that the Bible is right in view that of the prophecies which have already come authentic, (folks that have in no way learn it, have a appear at Isaiah fifty three, written 700 years before Christ's start). Those concerning the end time have but to be fulfilled. The prophecy in regards to the production of a State of Israel has sooner or later happened, and the prophecies (in the 'minor' prophets similar to Micah, and in Revelation) say that after this there will be a battle when it appears as though Israel might be crushed. That's when Jesus will return, so that you could reply your question, we've got a at the same time to attend, but no longer too lengthy. Within our lifetime most likely - subsequent 10 or two decades? These of us who suppose and are prepared to be taught the prophecies have a hope - things will get worse, however will likely be higher for ever afterwards. Considered one of my favourite chapters within the Bible is the penultimate one, Revelation 21, when it describes Jesus eventually establishing a kingdom on this planet (as it's in Heaven!). John tells his vision: 'Then I saw a new heaven and a brand new earth.... I saw the Holy city, the brand new Jerusalem... God shall be with them, he'll wipe each tear from their eyes. There will likely be no extra demise,or mourning, or crying, or affliction, for the ancient factor order of things has handed away'. It goes on to explain town, then in Chapter 22, the river flowing through it, and the timber of life, with leaves 'for the medication of the international locations'. These are exotic chapters, these prophesies, and the stunning words normally make me cry.

    Seems like every time you turn on the TV anymore, the news is reporting another prophesy fulfilled. We've all be screaming the time is at hand ! Our days are numbered ! I'm not saying they are or not. I do know people have been trying to predict Jesus's return but the bible says no one but the Father knows, not even the Son. So that's a bust. But it's like reading weather patterns. Things can change with a big gust of wind at any time. You never know when it's going to blow up THE big storm.

    Got a while to go, the Anti Christ bugbear hasn't shown his cards yet, no 666 mark of the beast coming down so far, or any of that other crackhead stuff. Unless God has changed the script? Believer or non believer, if you go "by the book", Revelations that is, there are still many events that have yet to happen. Take a chill pill and relax.

    Jesus foretold that there would be a sign to show that the time is near for God to destroy the present corrupt system of things. Beginning with World War I, mankind has witnessed what Jesus prophesied. Religious, political, and social developments worldwide are leading quickly and inescapably to the end of this system of things. Jesus taught his followers that to survive, they must “keep awake” and act decisively to put themselves on God’s side of the issue of sovereignty.*—Luke 21:36; Matthew 24:3-14.

    Many of the signs Jesus mentioned in the Bible as showing that the end is near are very prevalent today.

    I do believe that those of us who are living today will witness it. Look at us as a people world wide....How much more can God take? If I were him, I would have come down sooner and put an end to this mess. I think we are very very close to the end.

    There is no answer to this question. Even Jesus himself said he did not know the hour of his coming. And HE is the one who will be returning! It could be in this lifetime. It could be another 2000 years from today. The cool thing is that when you die and he returns, though it may be 5000 years from the moment you die, it will be like the blink of an eye to you.

    It seemed "close" to believers in the year 999...and countless times since.

    Stop waiting. Start living. Christ isn't coming here to solve all our problems; that is a task pretty much up to us.
