No one can say for sure. I wish I knew, but I don't, don't let anyone tell you they know when, because they don't. Only god knows

We can guess but, as you know ,nobody can guess right down to the day or hour. I personally thought the argument for the rapture occuring early this millinium was sound - but flawed in dating it at Y2K. The year 2000 was doomed to be wrong for multiple reasons. The main error was in failing to recognize modern calendars are four years off. The earliest millinium return would've been the year 2004. Another flaw was the assumption that God would return two thousand years after our Savior's BIRTH. Why? It would make much more logic to say He'd return two millinia after His CRUSIFICTION. It would make the most logic to say He'd return sometime in the two thousanth aniversery of His Earthly LIFETIME. If the latter theory was correct then Jesus' return would most likely occur sometime between the years 2004-2037 because His worldly lifetime was 33 years. This theory also allows for the scripture to be true that nobody can know the day or hour. This also allows for the modern fulfillment of prophesies we are witnessing today. The time IS clearly at hand. How close...?

Soon. Prophesies that needed to be fulfilled before our being 'caught up' to meet Him in the air have all been fulfilled.
Nothing but His longsuffering is standing in the way.
I say soon He will be here. Mans wickedness is compounding daily just as it was in the days of Noah. ... One thing to think about is the possibility that after the rapture, God will be dealing with just the Jews and only they will be able to come to Him and be saved. Just as during Noahs flood. After the door was shut and the rains fell. The people were probably banging on the door of the Ark but it was too late.
After the rapture of Jesus' church, this dispensational age of Grace shall be over. There shall come a strong delusion upon all Gentiles from that point on and only Jews will 'Hear' God after that. This is just something to consider. Please don't wait for the rapture to get right with God.
If you can't live for Him now, you will certainly not be able to then.

For those of The True Christian Faith it is not a matter of concern... but it is an event that is looked forward to... we are not to know when it will occure. We, of TheFaith, are to live our lives as if it would happen in the next second... but... not forsaking our obligatins of this world. You should still take care of your children and plan for your retirement and such things... obay The Great and Second commandments... love God, and your neighbor as your self, and you will be ready when The Rapture occures.... If your soul is sleeping when it occures wont that be something to wake up to....but personaly... I hope it occures while I am still in mortal flesh.... I want to fly through the air to meet my Lord in the air and see all those who have gone before there to meet me.

i could look at it from 2 perspectives.....
this is the year 5767 in the jewish calendar...there is a biblical theory that when 6000 years have passed since the garden of eden, the 7th millenium will be the reign of christ...if the jewish calendar is true...then, according to this theory, we have about 250 years left.
However, i have heard that the jewish calendar "lost " some years during either times of captivity or exile, and that we are closer to the 6000 years now. with 2000 year unique intervals, Jesus would have come at the approximate second 2000 yr interval (4000 years). That would put modern times about at the 6000 year mark..
With the rebirth of Israel, prophesied by Jesus, which had to occur before his return, we are told by him that the generation that sees this come to pass will not pass away before the end times come.
Looking at the promise of Iran to use nuclear bombs against Israel and the USA, and the threatening growth of Islam and terrorism, i give this world about 10 more years....I hope i am wrong....

I believe the Rapture will happen in our lifetimes. The evidence is all around us. The important thing is to be ready and to be about the Lord's business.

I believe we are in the last days. I believe that the rapture will probably be within 20 years. The main thing though is just be ready when He does come back and if you know that you are don't worry about it. He says that only God the father knows, not the angels, us or even Jesus. Just be ready.

The rapture is a fallacy taught. This is easily documented in God's Word.
The sixth trump could sound any day now. The true Christ returns at the seventh trump.
The end of this dispensation will consummate soon. This is the generation of the fig tree.
2007-2014 or the last seven years.
Take it to the bank and take out a EL-CD account.

Time to get aboard the ark, that is Christ.

I enable you comprehend what - once you spot we've disappeared, you only circulate forward and blame it on some alien craft incident, like the television tutor "The 2200" or something like that. this form whilst the Lord DOES return with all His saints for the conflict of Armegedon you would be taken with the aid of marvel. would not that sound lots greater beneficial than supplying you with a heads up warning? this is your warning: Jesus is returning. lots of people who positioned off getting saved until the 11th hour each so often die with the aid of the 10th!

According to scripture the end or rapture as you call it will come like a theif in the night in other words no one on earth knows.
Preachers and people can speculate or guess, but no body on earth knows when.

I personally feel rapture occurs at the time of death of an individual because as far as that person is concerned everything including life is destroyed.
