Christians: do you believe that Jesus will come back during your lifetime?

Answer 1

Are we Living in the End Times?

What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? This was a question the disciples asked Jesus.
Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:4-8)
Signs
Many will go here and there to increase knowledge. (Daniel 12:4) Right now technology increased so quick every thing in our houses is out dated in about half a year. We have so much knowledge available through the Internet; we will never be able to view it all on just one subject.
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. (Zechariah 12:3) Just about everyone in the world is now against Israel. No one is able to destroy Israel once they become a nation again.
They will say, "This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited." (Ezekiel 36:35) Before Israel came back to their promised land, the land was desolate. Now they are one of the biggest traders in the world in produce. Israel has rebuilt the entire city that was ruins. Israel has everything they need to rebuild the temple right now.
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth. (Isaiah 11:12) This prophecy has already happened. Israel was scattered in 70AD. Now Israel has become a nation again.
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:15) this prophecy can now take place. We now have computers that can keep track of everyone in the world. The world is already trying to form a one world government and currency.
Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. (Revelation 11:8-9) Now this prophecy can happen also. Everyone can now watch these people on TV. We now have satellites that can show everyone in the world what is happening in a single place.
They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:24) The time of the gentiles was 70A.D. until June 7, 1967. The 1967-generation is the generation that will see the Lord return. The bible says, "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. (Matthew 24:32-34) The fig tree is the symbol of Israel. The leaves coming out of the fig tree is the Jews becoming a nation again. Summer is referring to the days when Jesus will come back for the second time. The generation that sees this prophecy happen will not pass away until the Lord returns.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) This prophecy is happening today. This describes just about everyone today.
Friend we are living in the end times right now. If you were to die today would you go to heaven or hell? If Jesus were to come back tonight would you already be right with him?

Answer 2

bible prophecy events are lining up now.... things that are to happen right before Jesus' 2nd coming.

1. the sanhedren has reformed & now holding meetings since last year.

2. the sanhedren has purchased a herd of sheep in preparation for animal sacrifices once the 3rd temple is rebuilt on the temple mount.

3. the plans for the rebuilding of the temple are presently underway.

4. the decision has been made to prefabricate the walls of the temple so that when they get the go-ahead to rebuild, it will go up quickly.

5. the new world order has already begun.

6. the war along the euphrates river (6th trumpet) has already begun, although we don't know what the flashpoint will be that will kill 2 billion people.

the first 5 trumpets have already blown, the 6th is next & Jesus returns at the last - 7th- trumpet.

7. the plans for the mark of the beast are being laid w/ the national id (deadline of 5/2008)...w/o this card w/ implanted chip w/ your info on it, you won't be able to:
drive a car, fly on airplane, ride any public transportion, enter any federal building or park or partake in any federal program, like social security, food stamps, etc., you will not be able to hold a job or open a bank account.
with no money & no bank account, how much buying will you be able to do??

8. plans for mideast peace are still underway. the roadmap addressed all the issues of the biblical covenant... they just have to get back to it

Answer 3

I believe the rapture of the church will happen in my lifetime, yes. The return of Jesus will not be for at least seven years after the church is taken out of the world.

Could I be wrong? Absolutely.

Answer 4

No, there is going to be global persecution of Christians and in every civilized western society, they have freedom of religion. The United States or Europe couldnt exist as we know and this be true.

Answer 5

I thank you for those verses, the Torah rather rebukes pretend prophets and warns anybody who follows them. Christians have long gone off track and while worshipping their messiah as god does not makes issues extra suitable for them. Idolatry is the final of all sins. That became into additionally the message of our prophet Moshe and found out even in the technology of Noah. Noah became into no longer a Jew yet he became into seen righteous because of the fact he hated idolatry.

Answer 6

No, Christianity has been saying that for thousands of years and no one ever shows up. So they start in all over again.

Answer 7

Well, who's to say how long my life will be? I could be killed tomorrow, or live to be over 100. So it really isn't a safe bet to say yes. I would hope I would live to see it, but who knows?

Answer 8

Very Possible for that to Happen.
If it Don't then I will go up there to see HIM!!!
Either Way I Win.
Ditto......you too if you Only Believe Who JESUS said HE was!!!
Ditto.

Answer 9

i think He is comming soon. if you look in the Bible, it says that people will turn against each other and natural disasters will take place (tribulation period). but that is just my opinion.
