No man can know the day or the hour, but the Bible indicates that we can know the season. And we certainly seem to be in that season. Looking at the world around us, war, false religion, famine, pestilences, immorality, drought, and many other things, while they have always existed, are heating up towards a fever pitch. Something is definitely in the wind, prophetically speaking.
We see the increased possiblility every day of Jerusalem being encompassed with armies (look in your concodance). The best thing to do is to "watch you therefore, and pray always that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things".
And I would add: study God's word. Make sure you are building on the right foundation so that the deceptions of men and Satan find no place in your
beliefs.
Another source that I recommend, and it is a difficult one for almost everyone to accept, is learning the identity of Israel. That little country over in the middle east is really, historically Judah or Judea. Israel, made up of the northern 10 tribes of the Bible, has been missing or lost for many centuries. An understanding of who they are will help you understand prophecy better an help you see just how far we really are into the time of Jacob's Troubles.

THINK IS CORRECT
I think the time allowed Satan from Eden is 6130 years [ now is 6073 years ],
Matt.24:3,14,36; No day and hour as God alone knows that 1Thes.5:1-9,21;
to Rev.20:1-6,12,13; no Satan 1000 years as Jesus and the heavenly for the new heavens makes all as new as before Eden 2Pet.3:13; Isa.65:17; Heb.12:44; Gal.4:26; Rev.3:12; 21:1-5; 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; for the earthly of the new earth.

I think that, because i have heard (from a pastor---and believed), that nine out of ten facts in revelation have already come to pass in this day of age, Christ's second coming is not in the distant future but i also think that It will not happen on this time, meaning that I think that I am not confident that I am amongst those whose mortal flesh will be retained as they enter the Kingdom of God.

I don't know how long...but I feel like [and I do not mean to offend] when someone foreign becomes a man of great power in the united state [it says it in the bible [Daniel and Revelations] its time to begin the largest repentance prayer in your life. The year or date will probably be either full of seven's or three's....

the whole chain of events is seperated into times ex. time of peace and prosperity this one had days extended to give the ritious time to rest, time of the three woes, the time of the mark of the beast the time allowed fot this was cut in half for the sake of the same people. i believe in the latter part of revelations olso in the book of daniel.

No idea, but Christ teaches us that we should be very skeptical about anyone's claims. (Matthew 24:23-24.)
