So...According to your studies, do you think the Lord will return and when do you think it might happen? I do know the Bible tells us to study and to watch the signs. Actually, I'm heading for bed but will look for your answer tomorrow. I really want to know, I'm not being difficult here. I like to get everyones ideas.

In the final verses of Revelation, Christ tells St. John, "for surely I must come quickly." That was nearly 2000 years ago, St. Paul wrote that "a day (in the Lord's Kingdom) is like a thousand years." Early Christians believed that Christ would return in their lifetimes, time passed and they realized that they must follow Christ's teachings, we continue that as best we are able to this day. I will continue to prepare my soul for His Judgement, and I will trust that His Glory will come again.

If it appears that I didn't answer your question as to when the end will come, it is because I don't have the answer, neither does Hal Lindsey, nor any future Pope and neither do you.

to watch the signs.

What Jesus and the Bible actually tell us is,
Mark13;
32"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is."

In the parable of the 10 virgins, Jesus stresses the point of always being ready for His return, for in a very real sense, Jesus comes at the moment we take our very last breath.

Concerning "signs", Jesus said this:
Matthew 12;
39But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

I would suggest that you become more familiar with good hermenuetics and scripture so as to test these so-called prophecy experts with what Scripture actually teaches.
