Christians-Why do so many Christians believe that Jesus is going to return soon?

Question

It may not be for another 100 years or more.I will not be around then, as hopefully I will be in Heaven.I have noticed that people who have predicted the return of Christ have all been wrong. Jesus said if any one tells you the end is near do not follow them. So Christians even though we do not know the day or hour, so many Christians are talking like Jesus will return tomorrow.At the moment there is not 10 nation confederation. The temple has not been rebuilt, the gospel has not been preached around the world yet, Moses and Elija are not here yet prophecing at the wall, there is no world dictator yet, I believe that this world has to be in total darkness before the antichrist will come on the scene. This world now is getting there as it is getting darker, but it has to get much darker than this with lots of huge earthquakes, wicked people getting worse(may god have mercy on their souls)world war 3 exploding, famines all around the joint so bad it is not funny

Then in the mist of all the hell, I believe the antichirst may make an appearance. Until then it is only speculation.

Answer 1

Wow that's the deepest thing I ever read.

Answer 2

Think about this. The rapture will, in my belief, occur prior to the Tribulation. The United States has, by far, the most amount of Christian's living in it as a country. If the Christians were raptured, the United States would suffer economically as a good portion of their citizens would be gone. The United States would not have the man power it has now, and it is dwindling away anyway as it is. If the United States is not able to go to help Israel or send military to the Middle East, and is no longer a Super Power, the door is left wide open for the dictator to take a one world government. We are not yet in total chaos, but we as a world are well on the way. Things are so bad in the Middle East, at any moment with just a little nudge, yes, World war III could break out, which would actually be the battles described in the Bible. Great example is Iran, don't you think it odd that the President there and his belief in the 12th Iman as Messiah, of which he wishes to create conditions to usher him in, has publicly said this, the entire describtion of his beleif in Messiah, having a 7 year rule on earth, bringing peace, etc., mimicks what the Bible says the Anti-Christ will do! The wildest weather ever recorded in the last 10-15 years for world history! Right now, the plans are being prepared and land surveyed for the building of the Temple in Jerusalem! The Sanhedren reformed a few years ago. There was a birth of the red hefer, after nearly 2000 years of extintion, born. The red hefer required for the sacrafice at the temple.The EU IS closing in on being that 10 nation confederation whether you want to believe it or not. Yes, many predictions of end times have been made and were wrong, but never has all the signs been so closely accurate before and visable! God has never been pushed so hard out of the lifes of the world as it is done today. Technology provides the ability for ALL to see the two witnesses (via satelite). I could go on and on. Jesus told us :
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near—at the doors!" Mark 13:28-29

Answer 3

It might happen like you said, but that would be rather predictable; most people think that is what will happen. Why should it happen like we think? Maybe some of what you mentioned will happen before He returns, but maybe not. Moses and Elijah might not be the two witnesses - we don't know. The temple doesn't have to be rebuilt, as far as I know. As for the ten-nation confederation... I don't know. It does seem like (from what I've read), there will be a confederation of ten nations - I can't comment on that. I don't know when He'll come back. I just think it probably will be pretty soon, and perhaps in my lifetime (I'm 30).

Answer 4

sure specifically simply by fact of Matthew 24:32-35 examining the fig tree as being Israel while they grew to alter right into a rustic in 1948, then we would desire to constantly be the final era. yet realising that that's an interpretation i'd desire to be incorrect.. Matt. 24:14 The Gospel would desire to be preached in all countries in the previous his return we would desire to constantly stay like he will come at present, and if he would not we've not any difficulty in any respect, that is going to likely be nicely with our souls. The JW 1914 prophecy became made and while Christ did no longer return, they had to declare it happened spiritually so as that they'd save face. They used to apply the King James bible, yet had too plenty worry with it, so as that they have got been given a greek and hebrew scholor and had him do a opposite translation so as that they'd exchange the Bible and make it say what they needed. different Greek and Hebrew scholors do no longer settle for this translation, and that they do no longer seem to be waiting to look after it. right here I constantly depart room while it is composed of interpretation, i'd desire to be incorrect, NO guy knows THE DAY OR THE HOUR in basic terms that the indications are passing in the previous our eyes on the information on a regular basis.

Answer 5

Jesus said the gospel will go out to the whole world and then the end shall come

the Bible has been translated to a tremendous amount of languages, there is short wave radio voering every square inch of the planet... and the gospel is going out to the whole world

will it be within 100 years... I do not know... maybe

Answer 6

yes it may be another 100 yrs, it may be tomorrow! How do you know that the anti-christ has not already came? And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.Matthew 24:6
long question though...

Answer 7

I'm not a time setter, but I would think it would be very soon. How much more will the Lord take? I believe in the pre-trib rapture, so we could go at any time. Jesus appears after tribulation, on earth.

Answer 8

If you've ever read the Bible, it will tell you that
1000 years to us is like a day to the Lord.

I think these years go by do quickly, our children are growing so fast. It's time to get serious about
God and stop blaspheming him. Which is the
never forgiving sin.

Answer 9

the same reason why people do not believe in christianity. it is their personal opinion. as a muslim we are awaiting for the return of jesus peace be upon him how ever only god knows when that will happen.

Answer 10

You. and the rest of you fundies, are brainwashed. Gee, I wonder why no one ever thought of the rapture before the late 1800's!

Answer 11

I've returned to Yahoo Answers after my other acct got blocked!! Does that account for something? Didn't you miss me!? :( Don't I look good for a guy of 2000+ years?
