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.
Very true, but we can look at the signs. I like Jack Van Impe also but he's been wrong too. Hey, they just try. They don't know either. But he relates how 1 day is like 1,000 years, etc. Who knows. Not me for sure...Good night.
