Could our generation see the return of Christ? Share your views.?

Question

What evidence do you have to support your idea?

Answer 1

The fact that there is strife within and among the churches MAY be one of the signs of the end times.

The folks at Family Radio believe the Final Judgment and Second Coming of Christ will be in the fall of 2011.

For example see the book “Time Has an End” on line at:
http://www.timehasanend.org/public/en_time_has_an_end_cont.html

This group, whose primary teacher is one Harold Camping, also believes the Church Age has ended in 1988 and believers are to come out of the churches as they are now under the control of malevolent forces now that the Tribulation has begun. According to this group, this is why there is so much strife between and within church groups.

See the book Time Has an End, Ch. 10:
http://www.timehasanend.org/public/en_time_has_an_end_ch10.html

That said, the online audio lectures at Family Radio, are illuminating and worth a listen:
See: http://worldwide.familyradio.org/zusa/english/connect/audio_archive/echoes/frame/download/download.html

Finally, for the offline version of the Family Radio nightly call in show, where folks ask questions about the bible to Mr. Camping, see:
http://worldwide.familyradio.org/zusa/english/connect/audio_archive/forum/frame/

I am not endorsing Family Radio’s doctrines, but one is able to learn quite a bit by listening to these materials.


Most of what you will read about the end times are pre-millennial views: the view that Christ's return will usher in a future millennium of Messianic rule mentioned in the book of Revelation before the final judgment. The believers of this doctrine also hold to the notion of a Rapture of the righteous beforehand.

Others hold that there will be only one second coming of Christ, at the time of the Final Judgment.

Then there are mixtures involving the views of the seven year tribulation and whether it is happening now, will happen later, etc.

These doctrines all fall under the general heading known as the study of end times, or eschatology.

For explanations of the various eschatological beliefs see: http://www.religioustolerance.org/millenni.htm

Answer 2

Yes, this generation could very well see the return of Christ. All prophecy has been fulfilled up to the "catching away"... that is the only thing left before Satan introduces his son the Antichrist.

Since Israel became a nation in 1948, gained her capital Jerusalem in 1967... the "catching away" could take place any time.

A generation is 40 years. We could see the "catching away" this year. Line it up with the Jewish "wedding tradition" and it falls into place.

The coming of Christ is imminent, as the Bible tells us. He will come like a "thief" in the night, henceforth the "rapture" will take place. Only those in Christ shall hear the trump and be quickly changed immediately after those dead in Christ are raised from the grave.

You have some out there that does not believe the "rapture" (catching away) is biblical, but too many verses support how the bride of Christ will meet Him in the air, and not all eyes shall see Him nor all ears hear the trump.

As soon as this takes place the Antichrist will come forth with his perfect peace plan that will last only seven years.

If you turn on your television, open your newspapers on a daily basis you will see how corrupt the world is today compared to just 20 years ago and how it all lines up with what the Bible tells us will happen.

Those that dispute the Bible don't have wisdom or knowledge of what lays in the pages of our Holy Bible.

Many think all shall see Him and hear the trump.. but that will not take place until the end of the Tribulation/Great Tribulation period, the reign of the Antichrist is over. Then all who are living at that time shall see Him coming on the white horse with His Saints following behind. They will hear the roar of the coming of Christ for the Second time on earth. This is when He literally touches the Mount of Olives, the earth shall split open and the fianl battle will begin.

Answer 3

Yes,I believe that within 20-40 years, Jesus will rapture His church. We can not go much farther down this road without God having to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. The biggest thing left to happen is for the US to turn its back on Israel.

Answer 4

The message of Jesus is organic. The essence of the message is organic.... over the years Humanity has gotten further and extra intolerant, impure and nasty So except Humanity turns in the route of purity, revival will be puzzling

Answer 5

Yes, and it probably will. The signs are all around us that God gave as signs of His immenint return. Read up on all He said, look around you and see. its all there.
People with cold hearts, into every perversion you can think of. no respect for anyone, even family, lovers of self and pleasure. not lovers of God and holy living. more volcanos, plane wrecks, tornados, the list is endless. Get you a Bible and read up on it, Its all just there, and if you read the newspaper or hear the news on tv, you see, Bible prophecy being fullfilled daily, its like a row of dominos, quickly falling down, till it stops. All being played out like a big movie on a screen, just as God predicted it would. Before Jesus comes or you die, each person must choose Jesus for theirsleves, knowing He is God and saviour, and loving HIm enough to obey Him, tell the world about Him, and loving it, knowing it brings joy , peace and deliverance. Holiness is required, and can only be achieved thru obedience to God, and then He gives you the strength and knowledge of how to do it. without Jesus, we are nothing at all. And, we need to know that. God says obedience leads to blessings and disobedience leads to curse. that theme runs thru the Bible... even in the new testament. But, you will need to know scripture to know what God says. If we dont know, how can we obey Him.? we cant. Get you a Bible today and a good concordance, can even get a cheap one at a thrift store quite often. Study for yourself and see how it all fits together like a giant jigsw puzzle that is beautiful and glorious, showing His great plan for us all.
God tells us to look up and watch for the signs. Most dont even know what the sings are. Too busy leading their lives of doing as they please, and answering to noone, and not wanting to give up any precious little sin they find pleasurable. But, we cant plead ignorance to God. He says we all have had a chance to know, and its only OUR choice if we dont know. Start studying today, and if you are sincere, you will be like I am now. The more I learned, the more it all clicked together, and the even more I wanted to learn. Its a passion and you are on fire for God. Start studying and let us know how you are doing.

Answer 6

It all depends on if you believe in the post-trib rapture, the mid-trib rapture, or the pre-trib rapture. Because all the prophesies have to be carried out before He comes.

Answer 7

without getting into deep talk, without quoting passage after passage. Book clearly says.....the generation that see's Israel reborn, will not pass away before the end of days.

Answer 8

But doesn't christ come after the lost 10 tribes of israel are found?

Answer 9

So far, every generation has thought so. I'm not betting on it.
