Eschatology is a large and complex subject. There are answers to ALL of the complaints and supposed finished prophecies. Suffice it to say that things do indeed seem to be lining up, both historically and with a number of prophecies from around the world.It's quite a coincide that the Mayans, the Hopi, the Chinese, AND the Jews all have texts centering on this time in history. I don't know what will happen in the next few years, but I'm quite certain SOMETHING different from all that has come before is about to occur.

Bibles use of the term 'generation' either goes to define the nature of an event other then End of Days, or is a misintepretation of what the word 'generation' means. If you believe it, because obviously it hasnt happened yet.

the bible says that the end times happened within a generation after Christ's death--it's been over for centuries

no, I think that is as far as they got
no one knows not even the Son Jesus, but the Father in Heaven
He did say you will know buy the budding of the trees in Israel
They are now blooming in the desserts
we know the season, and that it is near
