The situations in our world seem to be getting worse and worse with each passing day. The Bible tells us this and says that there will be "wars and rumors of wars". We can see this all around us. It also says that "father will turn against son and mother against daughter". We can hear of situations like this on the news on a regular basis. The Bible talks of earthquakes in diverse places, floods, drought and all other types of problems with nature. These things are all around us and are happening more and more each day. Can we honestly not stop and see that the Bible is being fulfilled before our eyes and that Jesus could return at any time? God Bless You All and I Love You All in God's Love! SheliaLee

Yes, you are so right Sheila. Time is running out. Like that song "People Get Ready Jesus is coming to take us home." Everyone needs to prepare themselves for the time is drawing near. Live each day as if it is your last day, because we none know when, but soon.

That is so correct. We can't just stop living but we need to make sure that our heart is right and that as we live day to day we live in a way that we won't be ashamed should today be the day he returns. God Bless You hon!! SheliaLee

I do believe Jesus is coming soon. But how do we define soon? Peter believed that his days were corrupt and that Jesus would come again in his time. So yes it is bad, but we ultimately have no control or ideas of when he will come. All we know is that he will come one day and we should live like it is tomorrow.

Yes. Soon to us and soon to God is two totally different times! lol! When we think of soon, we may think in about a few months or a few years, but to God, a day can be a thousand years. The truth is that no one but the Father in Heaven knows the exact day and hour of His return. We must all be ready!

It does seem like the times are the way Jesus described before He returns. But remember that Jesus also said that no one but the Father knows the day or the hour. He could come today, tomorrow, a few months from now, a few years from now or thousands of years from now. He warned that we should all be ready for His awesome and glorious return. What a wonderful, awesome and glorious Day that will be for all believers!! God bless!

I do really believe that Jesus will be coming for us soon. As you said, so many many things that were told in the bible are happening today. I know nearly every generation has thought the same thing, that it was going to be during their time, but today it is so bad it's hard to believe it will get much worse before God takes his family home to be with Him.

Yes I do believe that. The Bible says some things and it's already happening so be prepared for HIM. But we don't know when but I think it's getting closer. Have a good day.

There are a few prophecy's left to fulfil yet before Jesus returns, The New World Order is still not quite in place, although growing at an alarming pace. A leader will rise making a & year peace deal & after 3/5 years he will betray everyone & demand we all worship him, he will be the Antichrist. http://www.countdown.org/armageddon/

I agree with you that these are troubled times, and we have to be prepared for our maker. It would be wonderful if we got some signs like during the Biblical times of his coming. The only solace for us at present would be in prayer and try to build a relationship with our maker so that when he does come we are ready.

Hello SheliaLee. Yes, I believe time is running out but I think Gods time is different from ours so I highly doubt he is going to return to earth during my time.

I think you are right about Jesus returning soon. So many things point to it in scripture...the technological boom....Israel becoming a nation...and of course the things you were mentioning. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that God is sovereign and in control of everything. When this world seems out of control, it is good to know that it is all according to His plan. As Christians, we can rest in that. Also, as Christians, shouldn't we always live as though Jesus were coming back today. I know we can't know the day, nor the hour, but we live in hope. Keep hoping.

Just a short look on history shows that 'wars and rumors of wars', earthquakes, etc. are part of humanitie's way on Earth. Among the sings numbered by Jesus, there is just one, only one, that hasn't appeared before and, so sad, doesn't seem to appear for still a long time: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14 ASV). How can we dare to hope for Christ's second coming when there are thousands of millions of people who don't have an opportunity to know he already came once in order to save them. We, his disciples, are responsible to go to all the nationes and to every creature, spreading the Good News and giving testimony with the example of our life. When this has been done -and the little interest in missions among beliefers doesn't allow to think it will be soon-, then, come oh Lord!

I believe the second coming is very close. Much closer than anyone may think.

Yes, i believe. I am not sure will Jesus come in flesh, most as spiritual supreme power in each of us. I think that there will be global and sudden changes, a very big part of the world will be destroyed. But this will be not the end of us, just a new world, a new beggining.

Yes, I do believe so that Jesus Christ will be coming real soon because His Words tells us so. In His Words where it says there that 'God will come anytime like a thief do', we surely never know when exactly the right time God comes...that is why we have to be much prepared for His coming and be alert all the time in life. Isn't it wonderful to wait until God's return? I am so much excited and I keep looking forward for such time, so I could be in my God's presence. :-) God bless!
