with all the chaos in the world today, do you think the End of the Age is near and that Jesus will soon return for the second time?

The song, "Pray" by Rebecca St. James
Lyrics:
You're close, very close
But Lord I miss you
Here's where I find hope
You're coming soon
And I long so much to see You-that I cry
Everywhere are the signs that the end is near
I say
Come quickly, Lord
When the sun grows dark
And the moon will shine no more
Quickly Lord
When the stars fall out of the sky above
Won't you come, dear Lord
Be ready-is what I want to be
When You come for me
No sitting on my hands
I won't be caught sleeping
And I long so much to see you
That I reach for the sky
And I lift up my hands/
and I hold them high...high
Come quickly, Lord
When the sun grows dark
And the moon will shine no more
Quickly Lord
When the stars fall out of the sky above
Won't you come, dear Lord
Come dear Lord, dear Lord
Come quickly Lord Jesus-please come for me
Come quickly Lord Jesus-please come for me
Come take us away to be with You/
come take us away
Come quickly, Lord
When the sun grows dark
And the moon will shine no more
Quickly Lord
When the stars fall out of the say above
(repeat)
Come take us away to be with You/
come take us away (2X)

No, Jesus returned in 70AD (Mt 24:34, Heb 10:37, 1Jn 2:18, Mt 16:28, etc.) in judgment with the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans and the old covenant system. You see the same figurative language in the OT in places like Isa 34, Eze 32, Isa 13, etc. concerning God's judgment on nations by other nations. The original audience context is very important. Chaos has always occured in parts of the world and every generation has thought that they were the last....it is nothing new. I highly recommend checking out Max King's book "The Spirit of Prophecy". It will answer many questions. God Bless! :)

I don't believe in religion. I can't have faith in something or someone I'm not sure actually exists. Do I think the end of the world is near, unfortunately that seems to be the case. I'm quite partial to being alive so if Jesus is going to come, I hope it's to help improve things.

I believe that there was somene called Jesus, but I don't believe that he has powers that the bible comments he has. He was definately very human, probably a socialist by todays standards! If that is the case, yeah go Jesus!!!
The only person to return is whoever is strongest in the current government or media persona etc. Lets face it we are in the age of media............and doesn't that rule right now?

All the signs point to the rapture first, then the 7 year tribulation, then Jesus returns to the earth.

Iran- Ahmadinejad has all but called himself the mahdi
N. Korea-- missiles anyone?
Israel- duh, I don't think they really want peace.
Africa-- enough said
U.S.- backlash & growing hate of Christianity. So much so tht people don't even want to learn about the Bible.
Children- they are suffering really bad. I don't want to remember all the sad events reported in the media. Children are being abused in every way.
Yes, God can return at any moment. The world is upside down. What was once right is now considered wrong & vice versa. I myself have been blesses w/ much happiness, but I'm not blind to what's happening.

Being as that I don't believe Jesus ever "returned" the first time, I am going to have to say no. If he shows up call me.

Although it would wonderful to see the Savior again soon, it is my hope that the Lord will "stay His Hand" a while longer to give people more time to seek and find Him...
Will He return soon? Sooner than we think...

Chaos has been going on for ages. if you lived during WW2, you would've said the same. Jesus will come when we least expect it. that's why he wants us to always be ready. we never know the day or time He will come.

No, Jesus never came the first time. He was just a made up story that Mary concocted to hide the fact that she slept around on Joseph.
