How many of you believe that Christ will return within the next 7 to 10 years or so?

If one was familiar with the prophecies of the Bible as well as those of the native Americans, you would see there is some connection. Enough to make one ponder deeply. Add to that the Mayan calendar and really does make one consider it.

Just read this part if you want, the rest I generated before because this type of wuestion comes up a lot. I believe that there is a likelyhood that what you say will hapopen soon. The Middle East has not recently been is such a polarized mess as it is in now. And there will be no peace in it until antichrist shows up. Quote me on that.
Important: Going backwards from the End.
The Post Millennium
There will be a time when Satan is released from a place where he was bound for a thousand years. When he comes out, he will convince a certain people to rise up and come against Jesus who is at Jerusalem. No one except God knows how long that will take, and when it will occur.
The Millennium
Which means: 1000 years of Christ ruling on Earth. He comes down and sets His feet upon the Mount of Olives in Israel after He brings the enemies of Israel together to make war against them. He destroys those enemies and sets up the 1000-year earthly Kingdom. Not all Christians believe this, but I do and those who believe like me.
The Great Tribulation
This is a seven-year period when God pours His wrath out on the Earth. It occurs after those that are in the body of Christ (the church), are taken out of the way. Often referred to as the Rapture of the Church, the Jews will have the temple built in Jerusalem, and on the World's stage a man supposedly of Peace will actually make peace in the Middle East for seven years, three and one half years into the deal he will break that promise, and make war. So, seven years, the last three and one half years there will be many things happening that will make it seem that the Earth is being destroyed.
The Present Day
We are on the far side of all that I have written. Israel is a nation once again as was prophesied. The church is awaiting the Rapture. The Rapture, as with all the fulfilled "Set Times" or "Feasts" that are observed by the Jews were set by God to show His manipulation of history, in advance.
For instance: Jesus was laid in the tomb as a fulfillment of Passover. The Spirit of God was poured out on men speaking the tongues of all nations on Pentecost. The Rapture of the Church will take place on the Feast of the Trumpets. It might not be this year, but on any year it won't occur unless it's on the Feast of the Trumpets. This year, the Feast of the Trumpets happens on 23 September, next month. If it does not happen then, it wont happen until one of the later years on the Feast of the Trumpets.
So we have the Rapture, whenever that is to take place, the Great Tribulation of seven years, the millennium for a thousand years, and the time that it takes Satan to convince a people to come again Jesus in Jerusalem, however long that is before the end of the world.

I believe and hope that it is a lot sooner than seven to ten years. I do believe we are living in the end times. I would like to think that Christ will return within the next seven to ten days. That would be the most awesome miracle for me.

I believe that we are living in the end time. But I don't believe Christ will come in 10 years time or years time, that's up to God's plan. But I wish If he had come now!!

I rememer 20 years ago when I was convinced that He would come back in a few years and He still hasn't come. The Bible says things will proceed from bad to worse, we may be still in the "bad" stage. I wouldn't put any dates on it, we may just end up looking foolish.

This same thing scam occurs from time to time in history. One prophet swears that if you follow him he will save you from the End of the World. I just think it is too conceited for us to believe we can predict our own end.

Even the Bible says that no man will no the end. AND, I never worry a second about it.
