With all the conflict in Israel and the Middle East, and so many of the biblical prophesy signs being fullfilled, it makes me really start thinking about things. Then on MSN.com it says there seems to be no end in sight regarding the fighting over there. What is everyone's thoughts on this?

it also says in the bible near the end people will say Where is the Lord? and they will be also saying about the t6hings are happening they will be saying " these things have always been"
it also says in the bible to not worry about the end of the world trust God and worry about your actions do in the sake of rightouesnous and good do things of heart not to be rewarded
but you also gotto know that to god 1 day to man is a blink of an eye so 1 day could be 100000000 years to God you never know

No. I know about the teachings of the end times, but I don't believe in any of it.
If Jesus can turn water into wine (as the bible teaches), then why is doing NOTHING about the world's affairs? Wars (all fought in the name of God) are out of control. Why would he let things get to such a state and then come back to a mess when he could have protected the planet and people all along.
But a lot of people like to believe in myths, so I'm sure there are all kinds who think that Jesus will return any minute now.

No, Jesus died roughly 2000 years ago, and therefore will not "return".
The notion that the biblical prophecies are "being fulfilled" is quite a leap:
- People have thought for generations that they were in the "end times" as a result of biblical prophecies being fulfilled.
- More of those prophecies are NOT "being fulfilled". There's quite a bit of cherry-picking involved in deciding that these are the "end times" on that basis. For example, Jesus told some of the apostles that they would still be alive when he returned. Obviously that didn't happen.
- The prophecies, like prophecies in general, are sufficiently vague that they can be seen in many different world events.

The end is near, but not near enough for me! There are many prophecies being fulfilled, but there are others that need to come to pass before Christ can return. A good book to read that pertains directly to this topic is "Are We Living In The End Times" by Tim LaHaye (author of the Left Behind series). In his book, Dr. LaHaye gives a complete description of why he believes we are literally in the end times. He has scriptural backup for his beliefs as well. The book is definitely worth checking out!

JESUS' return does not depend on the Middle East.
Matthew 24:14 Â And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The end depends on whether the Gospel has been preached to the ENTIRE WORLD!!!

you asked for an opinion, well here you go. Yes I think God is coming to retrieve his soldiers. The rest will be left behind. See the devil is at work on this earth. The thing is ,God already told the devil he has already lost the battle. The devil is here to recruit as many people he can, cause he thinks he can win over God. But it is a loosing battle, he will never win. The devil works mostly on the christian soldiers, so we have to put on our armor and stand strong in our faith, we will have eternal life in heaven . I can't wait. Hell is on earth. this is how I see it. you asked.

I definitely believe that a second coming is imminent. The signs are being full filled, and if He doesn't come back soon...World war 3 is gonna blow the world apart....But Jesus will come before the world is totally destroyed....When people start disappearing, its over.

When Israel signs a 7 year peace treaty-you can begin to really sweat it-the end will be very close. It will come right after we have hell on earth.

It appears that a lot of what the Bible says will happen at the end of time is happening more and more. Give mankind a little more time and they will bring an end to the world,

There is no such thing as Jesus' second coming. Jesus came and went and did what he needed to do. Life will go on for centuries and lifestyles will change. You and I may get blown away by an atomic bomb, but Jesus ain't coming again. Live your life in love and peace. That's what's important.
