I don't believe that Jesus will return to earth in 2007.

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE

WASHINGTON (AP) - Another terrorist attack, a warmer planet, death and destruction from a natural disaster. These are among Americans' grim predictions for the United States in 2007.

But on a brighter note, only a minority of people think the U.S. will go to war with Iran or North Korea over the countries' nuclear ambitions. An overwhelming majority thinks Congress will raise the federal minimum wage. A third sees hope for a cure to cancer.

These are among the findings of an Associated Press-AOL News poll that asked Americans to gaze into their crystal balls and contemplate what 2007 holds for the country.

Six in 10 people think the U.S. will be the victim of another terrorist attack next year, more than five years after the Sept. 11 assault on New York and Washington. An identical percentage think it is likely that bad guys will unleash a biological or nuclear weapon elsewhere in the world.

There is plenty of gloom to accompany all of that doom.

Seventy percent of Americans predict another major natural disaster within the United States and an equal percentage expect worsening global warming. Fewer than one-third of people, or 29 percent, think it is likely that the U.S. will withdraw its troops from Iraq.

Among other predictions for the U.S. in 2007:

- Slightly more than one-third, or 35 percent, of Americans predict the military draft will be reinstated.

- One in four, 25 percent, anticipates the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The telephone poll of 1,000 adults was conducted Dec. 12-14 by Ipsos, an international polling firm. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus three percentage points.

Americans thought they were being attacked by aliens from Mars when War of the worlds was broadcasted on the radio.....so I wouldnt be surprised even if 70% actually believed in that. Every month, year, decade you have the same charlatans predicting Jesus will come and the end of the world is nigh....go figure

The tribulation will last anywhere from 3 1/2 to 7 years, and He isn't coming back until the end of the tribulation, which hasn't even started, so no, He won't be coming back this year.

That only proves that 1 in every four persons you see every day is an utter moron.

Seriously, since Jesus hasn't returned in 2000 years, in any given year he has a 0.05% chance of returning (that is only if you buy the fact he is returning, which I do not). These folks are idiots.

Ask yourself :
How does one know they're in love...
How does one know when they hate or distrust...
How does one know they won't fall of the edge of the earth if they travel too far away...

you either "just know" or "just don't know"....well, I know that I just don't know....let no one tell you differently...in the long run...He comes back when He comes back....and I, for one, will welcome Him whether it's from the physical world in which I now live or from the spirit world when my physical body has stopped carrying my soul around. Oh, one more thing...
How do I know Jesus is real....
I "just know" !!!

nobody can judge that. remember that the first century after He died, people thought He was going to return any day.

I hope no though. if He does, we are in big trouble.

The bible says that no one knows when He'll come therefore it warns us to be on our guard and repent for the time could be anytime.
