Do you believe that the second coming of Christ is coming soon?

Question

If so how soon and then why do think so?Just curious is all.

Answer 1

Anyone with knowlege of the Bible would have to answer yes. Widespread homosexuality, disobidient children, loss of natural affection between parents and children ect. There will also be worldwide hatred toward Israel and the Jews will all be back in Israel. Jesus stated when the seasons change you will know the time is very near.

Answer 2

The Perousia?
the Escatalogical end times?

no way soon

I just got a txt msg from the [holy] family .
They are planning a trip to Branson, MO;
catch a few shows, do some fishing and boating
you know, just R and R ..
Joe's wanted this trip for a long, long time

and then they don't have anything "big" on their calendar for this year....maybe a trip to Disneyland, Joshua has always wanted to see Epcot

next year, the Holy Land....you know how Miriam can be quite insistent

so...you've got a few years yet....

remember, though...the Aztec calendar stone runs out ...stops...the end of time...at the winter solstice, 2012
so if Christ wants to come again...He had better make it fairly soon...or it'll be too late....the earth will be gone

Answer 3

That's the ten million dollar question. Men have been asking it since Jesus ascended into heaven. Every generation seems to think they are living in the "end times". In fact, soon after Jesus ascended many believed He was going to return very soon. They quit their jobs and just sat down to wait. They were told to go back to work but BE READY spiritually at all times for no one knows the day nor time. We are told that God is long suffering that no man should be lost. I think that's why He has waited so long. I think it's kinda like Sodom in that God is saying if there are enough people still seeking after me and there are still those searching for the truth, He will continue to be longsuffering. Be sure, though, that a day will come when His patience will run out and He will send His Son in judgment. Is that soon? Nobody knows. But we, just as at all times throughout history, must be ready for His return at any time.

Answer 4

If you watch for the signs you will know, but it doesn't really matter. You could die tonight. The trick is to always be ready. Every generation has thought they lived in the end times. There are things that need to happen before his second coming. He will come as a thief in the night. No one knows. But it doesn't matter anyway. Just live like he's coming tomorrow.

Answer 5

the second coming will occur after the tribulation period which is at least 7 years away. Jesus coming for His bride is before His second coming and yes that could be very soon! Keep your eye on Israel and her neighbors. don't put much stock in the news from the west as they are biased and don't report the whole story.

Answer 6

No one knows the day, the hour of His coming. We should be living our lives like He is coming each day... Remember he will come like a thief in the night, when we are least expecting it. Only a remnant of true believers will be raptured. The rest will have to survive the tribulation and die for their beliefs.

This is an age old question and there is no one that can predict the second coming of Christ....

Waiting and ready.....

Answer 7

No.

A scholarly study of early christianity shows that the historical emergence of certain ideas & suppression of others, along with the fertile mixing of pre-existing Gnostic & other pagan religious themes produced the brew that fermented into what for the next 700 years was to be "christianity" : western european version.

And what with me being a teetotaler...

Answer 8

We don't know when He is coming back, but it will be absolutely clear to every person on the planet when He does. Check out the first link below for an article about the rapture.

Answer 9

As strange as it sounds to say this, I saw the 'Immaculate Conception' in June of 2000.But what I actually saw was the birth of the concept of the ideal human. It was during a moment of transendence.I learned that someone would be born that would match that description. I learned the Teachings that would be the 'Newest Testament'.The name of Jesus was never involved,and I was shown that christianity was to be done away with for leading so many into captivity.

Answer 10

One afternoon at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem I was showing a tour group of American Evangelical Christians around the campus and a discussion came about on messiah. As a Jew I am always asked by Christians what I think about Jesus etc? Well, I declares to them that we have something in common! "What?" they ask. "Well you and I believe in messiah. This is good, is it not?" At a prayer meeting at the end of their trip, they kindly invited me to pray with them and asked God to 'let me find Jesus etc.' How patronising, I thought. Well, I said to them that if messiah arrives before they leave the university that I alone should have the great honour of asking him the first question. They all found this funny, not knowing that I secretly wanted to settle a two millenia old argument, and enquired of me what I would ask messiah ben David. "That is simple," I said, "I would merely ask him, 'well sir, have you been to Jerusalem before?'"
