I am really hoping to see the Second Coming in my lifetime. It's my greatest longing. 

I only ask this so I can understand why you would want to be here when He returns - are you post trib in your rapture beliefs or do you believe there will be no rapture?

That's an excellent question. I can't be boxed into the categorization of pre-mid-post tribulation at all. It's far too speculative to make these assumptions.

Yet, to be here at the second coming of Jesus, one will need to go through all of the end times events - All!  7 Trumpet Judgments and 7 Bowls of Gods wrath.  I fully believe that God will protect those who are His that find themselves in harms way, but I also believe we will be caught up before He returns as we are told.  I also stay away from the categories, but even so, I want to with Him when He returns, not watching Him return from earth.

I understand where you are coming from. But, I'm also a dispensationalist as well.

When do you think Christ will return?

               You will have to ask The Father to get a correct answer.

When do you all think Christ will return? How much time do you think there is till the end. I believe the end is very near, maybe 100-500 years. The Bible in Daniel says that in the last days "knowledge shall increase and people will run to and fro throughout the earth(Daniel 12:4). There has not been a time in history where human knowledge has expanded like this. In the last 200 years humans literally from horse and buggy to the moon.

Matthew 24:

¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

¹⁵ When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

¹⁶ Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

¹⁷ Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

¹⁸ Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

¹⁹ And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

²⁰ But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

²¹ For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

²² And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Yet even if we ask HE wont reveal the day nor hour .     And I do advise none to ask HIM .

But do know this ,  it is nigh .     It is nigh .  

I was reading where someone said if any says HE is here or there heed them not .  WELL AMEN .   I add this too ,  AND if any claims to be the VICAR of CHRIST ,  YEAH HEED THEM NOT TOO . 

[frienduff thaylorde]

Yall know the drill .     all dangers and dangerous men get exposed on my watch .  so if any claims to even be the vicar of Christ , HEED THEM NOT PEROID .    Let no man , woman , or child 

even head one bit of the way in that direction .   Be blessed now .   warning till my last breath .   

[The_Patriot21]

Don't know...don't care. I know He's coming and I knowI'm ready for Him whenever He decides to...so the when is irrelevant. meanwhile I'm going to continue living life to the fullest extent possible.

God has given a sign regarding His second coming to Zion :

Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

We all see this fig tree speaks about modern Israel re-established in 1948 but it was just a branch that putteth forth leaves in 1948 and it took times for a generation. (verse 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled) to grow and see this fulfilled, including to see this :

Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of ^dheaven to the other.

so this last generation of modern Israel will not pass till they see Jesus again when the rapture takes place.

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him (the Jews)
