Jesus forwarned us that we will know that His return is near by the season of events. The sign of the times reveal to us that His return to earth is closer than we think. Most of Bible prophecy has been fulfilled and we are now awaiting the culmination of end-time prophecy that will eventually usher in the 7 year tribulation and one world government of the New World Order which will be in our lifetime, within 10 - 15 years. Throughout His Word, God reveals the events and conditions that will engulf the world at the time of the end. In Mark 13 Jesus warns His followers three times that they need to be alert to the trends that will precede His return and to not be caught spiritually unprepared: "Take heed," He says, "keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is" (verse 33, New American Standard Bible; compare verses 35, 37). Near the end of the book of Daniel is the warning that the period preceding Christ’s return will be "a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then" (Daniel 12:1, New International Version). The whole world will be overtaken by one unprecedented disaster after another after another.

Notice Jesus Christ’s own description of the time leading up to His return: "It will be a time of great distress, such as there has never been before since the beginning of the world, and will never be again. If that time of troubles were not cut short, no living thing could survive; but for the sake of God’s chosen it will be cut short" (Matthew 24:21-22, Revised English Bible). This time will be so perilous, He warns, that mankind will be in danger of extinction. Considering the remarkably accurate prophecies of the Bible, this should surely get our attention.

God’s prophecies are sure. He foretold the decline and fall of many nations for their sins—including many of the leading nations and peoples of our day.
Also, Christ’s warning the good news that, "for the sake of God’s chosen," total annihilation won’t come. These are the few who truly believe God and have the faith, courage and willingness to act on that belief. They are truly willing to repent—to change their lives, to surrender to God, to give up everything, if necessary, to humbly submit to and follow a God who has promised them everything in return.

In that most remarkable book of Bible prophecy He assures them, "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son" (Revelation 21:7). What a loving promise from the Creator of all things!


We should also not forget God’s promise to protect His people during this time of mounting global turmoil and catastrophes. In Revelation 3:10 He assures us, "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth." God means what He says. And who are those whom He considers His people? Revelation 12:14-17 identifies them as those who faithfully "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

If you believe God really exists and foretells the future in His Word—facts clearly proven —are you willing to shape your life according to that revealed Word? Are you, as Jesus Christ said in Luke 4:4, willing to "live ... by every word of God"?

As Isaiah 55:6-7 advises: "Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon."

What is commonly known of as Easter, is actually a seasonal Jewish Feast called Passover. Biblically Jesus will come back at "the second coming". It may or may not coincide with a Jewish Feast, but Passover has been fulfilled already. His return will be at the end of a 7 year tribulation. This is now 2010.. so just by counting alone, it would have to be the year 2017. I'm only saying that to point out that there is no tribulation happening now, and the year 2012 would be too soon. I'm not making any predictions of when Jesus will return.

Hebrews 9:28
so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

In the Old Testament, salvation was expected during the lifetime of the people who waited for political events to turn the way of God's people. This is due to the fact that they typically get left out of communication in society due to the "dispensation of existence" effect that cults utilise to administer harsh standards of justice. Their health is not given a high priority as people expect them to just "know" where things are at. Admittedly, the health of cult members is not so great either as their sense of timing might be warped by regular hypnosis.

According to 2 Peter 3 and correlating this with Isaiah 57, I'm guessing that Jesus has come many times already. Scoffers similtaneously say that their fathers have died. The word for "died" here has the implication of peacefully being buried on a hillside or covering something on a hillside (hell means "to cover" from Anglo-Saxon). Therefore, if you hear of people saying that their fathers are dead like this, whether or not they actually are, Jesus coming is imminent in the sense of judgement occurring in society on behalf of innocent ones.

He will come when the believers are in a very difficult condition . The world will be terrorized by a man named "Deccal" . When there left no hope, Jesus is going to come and kill him by his sword. It is said that he will be seen in Jeruselam first. Lately , some specialists say that it is not Jesus who will come, but it is his spiritual being in the hearts of people. So it means , true christians will rise up and stand against Deccal. (I am a muslim and these are from Islam point of view)

7 years after the beginning of the tribulation period. Exactly when that will start-we do not know. But keep your eyes on Jerusalem-its a key player.

No one knows, except God. Read the New Testament in the Bible.
