I suggest that anyone who seeks the truth about such matters should read the Bible for themselves.
The Apostle Paul refers to the Rapture as a "Mystery", and as for the second coming, Jesus Christ declares, "No man knows the day or year", as so no true Christian would try to predict it.
Believers just need to focus on living a life that is "Chistlike"

Could you give me some scripture for this contention. Honestly, this has always been a problem for me. How can a sinful person be Christlike? Yes I have his gentle Spirit residing within me and as long as I don't allow my sin nature to override it I'm a better person. Of course I have varrying degrees of success at this. But being Christlike? Seems impossible. Should I divorce my wife and become a celibate itinerant preacher? Should I start observing all the Jewish ritual and feasts? Should I provoke the established religionists utill they kill me?
