Christians- Do you think Jesus will return within the next 100 years?

Question

If he doesn't o well, I will be already in Heaven then anyway so it will not matter being in Heaven if he come's in one thousand years(which I doubt as it will be before that)as the glory of Heaven cannot be prepared to the nicest parts of earth. With me being in Heaven then I wonder how many Christians on the earth will be waiting for this rapture. It will not worry me, as how can it worry me if I am already in Heaven. But it will not stop other Christians worrying about when the rapture will happen. So Christians do you believe Christ will return to earth to rule for 1000 years within 100 years. Me , i believe that he will 100% and that is a garauntee. What do you think?

With Iran making nuclear weapons with the help of Russia to try and destroy Israel, and Russia supplying Misiles to Syria recently, and with chipping made to be compulsary (micrchip) within 10-20 years from now, Global warming is getting worse, and you cannot say it isn't. Israel is talking about Nuking Iran's sites soon, and Iran said they would not want to try. Iraq is getting worse with war, as it is not ending, natural disasters are on the increase, diseses are becoming worse around the world so I do not see the world going on for another 100 years without Jesus stepping in to come to the earth to put a stop to all this.

Answer 1

Gospel According to Saint Matthew
Chapter 6



33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.



The origins of the doctrine of the rapture are hotly debated. The Orthodox, mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches (which represent the majority of Christians worldwide) have no tradition of such a teaching and reject the doctrine, in part because they cannot find any reference to it among any of the early Church fathers and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do

Answer 2

I don't think it's going to be 100 years -- the Bible tells us it will be much sooner than that. I believe the Bible clearly shows us, in conjunction with world events, that we are in the last days. Here's why I think it's not going to be too long:

1) Israel has been re-established as one country (instead of 2, as it was from after Solomon's death through the last diaspora) and the regathering of the people has been going on since that time. See Ezekial 37.

2) Jesus' parable of the fig tree is recorded at Matthew 24:32-35. (The fig tree is the ancient symbol of Israel.) He tells us that when Israel becomes alive again, the end is near. Israel announced about a year ago that, for the first time in nearly 2,000 years, there are more Jews living there than anywhere else in the world.

3) Ezekiel 38 and 39 tells us about an invasion of Israel lead by Russia and Iran, and joined by other Muslim nations such as Libya and Egypt. Russia and Iran have formed a pact for the first time in all of recorded history; news reports suggest Israel, the U.S. and England will pre-emptively strike Iran within months. This may be the catalyst needed to provoke Russia into action first. Ezekiel 38:16 tells us this will all happen in the "latter days," a.k.a. the end times.

4) Jerusalem and Israel will be the cause of international disagreements and wars in the end times. Other nations will seek to take some of Israel's land away. (Zechariah 12:1-5). This has been fulfilled for the first time in history.

5) Jesus tells us that the generation that sees the re-establishment of Israel and the first "pang" (which was WWI and WWII) will still be alive when He returns. A Biblical generation is 70 years. Add 70 to 1948 (re-establishment of Israel); that's 2018, from which you have to subtract 7 (the Tribulation), which is 2011. Then add 70 to 1945 (the end of the world wars), and subtract 7, which is 2008. We don't know if either of these years are when the Tribulation will start or not. It's not important -- what IS important is that everyone see this is NOT a far-off event. We have very little time left before the Father commands the Son to begin the judgements described in Revelation.

Answer 3

Not sure about when Jesus will return. None of us are. The Bible says that no man knows the hour or the day. However, I cannot say with any certainty that Jesus will not return before I die. World events lead many to believe that His return is close at hand. If you're a Christian, it should not ultimately matter one way or another. Personally, I would be very excited to see Jesus return before I die.

Answer 4

How do we know that the time when Jesus will return is near? This is some Biblical evidences of scriptuer that will help you from Gods Word. If you need any further help please let me know and I can send you some passages that you can read. A detailed bible passage in Luke 21 vs 24-28 that supports that the time is near for Christs' return:
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Jesus prophesied that Jerusalem would be trampled on by the Gentiles (or non-Jews) until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. What did he mean by this? Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled? Simply this. That Gentiles would have possession of the city until a certain time in God's scheme of things, this time being “the end of Gentile time.” Jewish people had from the time of Abraham until the time of Christ, approximately 2000 years in which to get their act together with God. Many outstanding characters are recorded for us in the pages of the Bible. But nationally the Jews failed and so for a similar time span the Gentiles were given the opportunity to serve God. Hence “Gentile times.”So it is not difficult to see that when Jerusalem is back in Jewish hands again, the end of the Gentile times is accomplished.
Verses 25 and 26 of Luke 21 detail certain things that will happen during or after the fulfilment of the “Gentiles times”. And vs 28 tells us that then Jesus will return. This is why it's important that we know when it is that the “Gentile times” have been fulfilled – because it is a signpost or milestone for us that tells us that the return of Jesus is drawing near. 1967 was a very important year in Jewish history. This is because it was the year when the Jews finally regained control of Jerusalem after about 1900 years. Now at the moment they do not have sole control over the whole of Jerusalem, but never-the-less many Bible scholars feel that 1967 was an important milestone. It was the start of the fulfilment of the “Gentile times”, and thus points to the time when Jesus will return.
Jesus prophesied in vs 25 and 26 that after Jerusalem was back in the hands of the Jews, there would be an era of “distress of nations, with perplexity” – and the word perplexity actually means “no way out”. The nations would be so distressed that they won't see any way out of it.
Verse 26 goes on to say “Men's hearts failing them for fear”, and the New International Version of the Bible says that they are “apprehensive of what is coming on the earth”. So would you say that at the moment “Men's hearts fail them for fear, apprehensive of what is coming on the earth?” We would remind you of the horrific events on September 11th 2001 . (As if anyone could forget?!) It was a world changing event, and at that time, there was real fear in the world and real distress of nations. People around the world were definitely apprehensive of what was coming on the earth. This was surely a sign that Jesus will soon be returning. We wonder what other atrocities are in store for the world. What further terrorist activities will shake our planet, and make our hearts fail for fear?
Verse 28 of Luke 21 is important to keep in mind during such fearful times. It says:
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
It is suggested that “these things” (i.e. the end of the Gentile reign of Jerusalem, and men's hearts failing them for fear) have already begun to come to pass. Therefore we must be looking for Jesus to return soon. As Luke puts it, our redemption (rescue or salvation by Jesus) draws near.
