Do you think Jesus is coming soon? Do you think we are living in the end times? Share your opinion here.

No, I think all these environmental signs aren't God but humans causing global warming. Truthfully, I don't know when he comes and I don't care. I just want to know that when it happens that I'm there with him and not downstairs if you know what I mean.

I think it's a maybe.
I'm sure we feel like this all is horrible, and this must be the end. But at the same time, there have been other times in history where people must have felt it was bad.
During WWI there was both a war and a horrible epidemic, I'm sure some people believe that then was the time that Jesus would return. I'm sure people have speculated on and on about it.
But honestly, I live like this:
Everyday you live like Jesus was coming tomorrow. Not like you panic or anything just, you carry out the work Jesus has given to you. You live you like as Jesus wanted you to. You strive for perfection as a Christian and when you stumble you ask for forgiveness. My ultimate goal in living is to one day be with my father. To be with God. He could come in a million years or tomorrow, I want to be ready for him. Thats how I try to live.

There was a missionary to Asia that told me Christ would not return until the news of His love had reached all the peoples of the earth. That has not, nor will it happen for quite some time. There are tens of millions of people who don't even have access to a Bible in their own language yet

I dont think it will take that long because of the world's 6,900 languages, 2,400 have all or most of the Bible. That is already at least 300 million people that have a chance to read it. Not saying they do though. 1,600 languages have translation underway. Thats a lot of people, and there is 2,500 languages that people say need it to be translated. That leaves a couple thousand languages left. It shouldn't take to long.

My Pastors say our generation will see his return. For me I don't know. But if it happens cool and if it doesn't it will. Either way I'm living it like it'll be here because in the bible it tells me to be prepared.

That is what my pastor says. I would love to see Jesus come down. That would be the ultimate blessing.

I think that ever since Jesus rose up into Heaven, people thought that they were living in the end times. So it's not like this is new. I mean, we could be living in the end times, but there's also a chance that we're not. Who's to say? Jesus told us that the day and the hour is unknown, so we should always be ready and not be caught by surprise. (This means to not slack off spiritually so that when Jesus comes you aren't ashamed or found guilty. 3nodding )

Do you notice how they never say we won't find out the year? Like maybe somebody will find out the year, or somebody has. Maybe. Maybe someone will guess the year. Maybe somebody has. Who will know until it happens? I do know Jesus said we should always be ready lest he comes while we sleep.

People can speculate but I would say whoever guesses the year, it would be a lucky guess. I don't think God will tell just one person or give just one person on Earth knowledge of when he is coming. Jesus will come when he sees fit and when he knows that the time has arrived.

I don't think anyone could guess, or one person just know, because in the bible Jesus said not even he would know the time of his return only the Father.

Yep, He is going to come as a thief in the night.

Though you would agree Jesus is God?

Well, I have heard, (And Believe) that Jesus will come when all mouths of the earth proclaim his name as lord. Remember that God works in Mysterious ways, you can never know what he throws at you next, to test your fairth or have you help others with theirs.

Revelation shows not all will be saved.
