his disciples came to him privately and asked "when will all this take place? and will there be any signs ahead of time to signal your return and the end of the world?"
jesus told them, "DONT LET ANYONE MISLEAD YOU. FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME SAYING ' I AM THE MESSIAH' THEY WILL LEAD MANY ASTRAY. AND WARS WILL BREAK OUT NEAR AND FAR BUT DONT PANIC YES THESE THINGS MUST COME BUT THE END WON'T FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY THE NATIONS AND KINGDOMS
WILL PROCLAIM WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THERE WILL BE FAMINES AND EARTHQUAKES IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD BUT ALL THIS WILL BE ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE HORRORS TO COME."THEN YOU WILL BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED AND KILLED YOU WILL BE HATED ALL OVER THE WORLD BECAUSE OF YOUR ALLEGIANCEC TO ME AND MANY WILL TURN AWAY FROM ME AND BETRAY AND HATE EACH OTHER AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL APPEAR AND WILL LEAD MANY ASTRAY SIN WILL BE RAMPANT EVERYWHERE AND THE LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD BUT THOSE WHO ENDURE TO THE END WILL BE SAVED."

I think it boils down to this:
There will be false prophets.
There will be wars and rumors of wars.
There will be famine and pestilence and earthquakes.
There will be those martyred for their faith.
Sounds like the four horsemen of Apocalypse from the book of Revelation
As to the postings of AJ:
Jesus was emphatic that some of those there would not die before He received His kingdom. What kingdom was that. Jesus in His prayer to His Father in heaven said, Father, restore me to the glory that I had with you before the foundations of the world. That happened while some of the disciples were still alive. Jesus was restored to His kingdom in heaven.
In the verses about the fig tree, Jesus was saying 'from the time you see the fig tree in bloom, not a generation shall pass before I return'. When did the fig tree start to bloom, in 1948 when Israel was given nation status again by the United Nation. That means that from the time Israel became a nation, someone who was alive then will be alive when He returns to take His church out of this world.

These are the most startling words -
But I prefer them as a Warning :
1- If We don't change ourselves than it will happen (note : need not from Bible to draw this conclusion)
2- Other possibility is open (God allow Free Will - otherwise salvation is meaningless)
3- If we take it as NO OTHER CHOICE - Then WE will make it happen !!!

That kind of stuff has been happening since Jesus died. I am thinking that it is ALWAYS "near" the end of the world. I think every generation thinks "their time" is the special end time.

there will be many false prophets, some we see even today....
but typing things in all caps just makes people not read what you write... and fire and brimstone is not a good way to warm up someone's heart towards Jesus Christ...

Jesus can't signal his return - the bible is fiction, and JESUS IS NEVER COMING BACK
Q: If you believe the bible is true, why didn't Jesus return during the lifetime of his listeners like the bible said he would?
