yes, the church age has ended(church of phildelphia-brotherly love) we are in the Laodician age That Revelation talks about. There was great revival in the 1800's-early 1900's. We are the age where people are lovers of their own self, which compassion, claiming the spirit, but denying the power thereof. We are definatly in the last church era.

I don't believe the church age will end until the rapture, which could happen at anytime. Then, there will be no more christians and the world will be without the Holy Spirit. It will be Hell on earth.

Yes. God's focus, although He's pouring out His Spirit in great measure upon all who want Him, will soon be focused once again specifically upon Israel and the Jewish people.
Those in the know are calling this time period the "Messianic Age".
In the somewhat near future, a coalition of major nations will attack Israel, (prophecy found in Ezekiel 38). Unbeknownst to these foolish attackers, God will cause His favored Nation, Israel to win. The rest of God's plan for the End Times will be focused upon Israel and the Jewish people, as they come to know their Messiah for who He really is - Yeshua Ha Maschiah.

Depends on which "church" you are talking about. Despite the temporary reversal of the trend in America, Christianity is becoming more separated from government in Western societies that now are mostly secular. However, theocracy is on the rise in many Islamic countries, many of which were primarily secular in the past. It's cyclical. Theocratic governments go in and out of favor all the time. Someday (probably after we nuke ourselves out of civilization), Christian theocracy will be back in style.

Sounds like someone is trying to deceive you.. Look, see what Paul said about this subject... Jim
2 Thessalonian 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

No, you have to have a culminating event to show the transition. The event of choice for age-counting Christians is Armageddon, unfortunately, so we'll have to have one so they can be satisfied.
Once that's over, we can move onto the Try-Something-Else Age.

Yes. Chruches are seeing their own moral bankrupcy. The more honest ones will soon close. The really corrupt ones are going gangbusters.

I'd say yes, it is now into a more post modern age.
