no one know the time and date except God the Father.....not even His own Son Jesus.
all other claims are guesses and foolishness.

Anybody that gives you scriptural support for an answer on a date on the return of Jesus Christ is full of poo-poo.
And why is it that everybody who has ever looked at the book of Revelations always thinks it's going to happen when they're alive? You never hear anybody say 2 654 is the date of the return; it's always somewhere near - people have been doing this kind of "calculation" for thousands of years, and they always come close to the time of their own lives. There was a big panic in the year 1 000, when a whole bunch of people committed suicide by jumping off cliffs rather than face the Apocalypse. In other words, it's a bunch of mass hysteria.
If you actually want a Bible quote, I can provide you one, but it will actually confirm the fact you can't put a date on it: Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father (Matthew 24:36).
Furthermore, the book of Revelations is made way too much of. It is a vision. It was included as part of the canon of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. There were many such visions at the time. They were never meant to be interpreted literally and serious theologians are very careful before advancing anything in the way of interpretation.

Mark 13:32 says that no one knows when Jesus will come. Every time people try to pin a date on it they fail. The whole point of the secrecy is this: if a person knew the date of the end of the world, they would give in to every temptation and try to repent at the last minute. But that's not real repentance, they would accept Christ to avoid the consequences, not because they love him. It wouldn't work, and they would die the eternal death. Flip the scenario: the person doesn't know when the world will end, so he repents just in case. He grows to love the Lord, and lives to be taken up to heaven. Which would God rather have happen, do you think? Exactly.
2011 is as feasible as any other point in the future.

There is NO scripture that will give a feasible end to this world. HE told us that even JESUS did not know but the FATHER only! Have a great week. Thos who want to predict are reading Revelation Literally and it is NOT a literal book. It was written by JOhn in this manner to get HIS message to the Churches from the Isle of Patmos when he was held prisoner by the Roman Armies there. Have a great week

God can not lie, therefore Israel must first get back seventy years taken away by the King of Babylon. Israel has been a nation since 1948 A.D. 1Kings 2:45 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the THRONE OF DAVID shall be established before Y@hovah for ever. When Christ came He established his Kingdom and has ruled ever since in the hearts of men.
There are however signs that point to the fact that we have entered into the last generation of man. So the end must be near. No man knows the day or the hour according to Christ Jesus (Yeshua). As for the return of Christ, just be ready.

Only the Father knows the minute and the hour of the return of Jesus.

lol. Every century people run around talking about the end of the world and it doesn't happen. When are you guys going to realize its not going to happen? Just let it go already.
2011 is about as likely a year as any other. Meaning, not at all.

going by scripture we know that no one can tell when those things will happen. look at scripturecatholic.com and go to the zionism section and the rapture section, you will see the flaws in the recent theories and is firmly shown using scripture.

Any MOMENT is feasable. Every condition neccesary for His return has been met. so, keep your eyes on the Eastern sky! BTW, just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't happen!
