Every generation since Christ died has believed we were in the last days.
Christ Himself said he would come back like a thief in the night and that YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THE TIME.

Sorry, 99.99999999999999999999% chance you are wrong.

You do not know your Scriptures well. That reference is for those not watching.

I put it at that percentage that he is right--perhaps even this year.

In general, you are being told to be prepared at all times with the state of your life because you will not know the time of His return.

[no-to-illegals]

Am going to agree and recognize your point to a point, then will do my utmost to attempt to pass this God Given Nation to the next generation, at least in the shape, which was passed to me and mine. Failure haunts everyone and every nation.

Well even in my view we never know when Christ returns, so despite the spec of a change that NOW is the time or not, we still have the obligation to be ready at all times.

Thank God we have Christ.
Lord I am not worthy to receive you, but just say the Word and I WILL BE HEALED.

1Th 5:3 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But Ye, Brethren, Are Not In Darkness, That That Day Should Overtake You As A Thief.

[A CA Guy]

BECAUSE we are supposed to be ever ready for the coming of Christ in our following of His word, not because we can read signs and make predictions of God’s actions.
God knows when God decides to do things, not man.

[CynicalBear]

Most just ignore that last part of the verse don’t they. It’s as if it would take too much commitment to study.

[Duke of Milan]

Many, sadly, choose their own word and not God’s.

[faithhopecharity]

See also 2nd Thessolonians for a clear direction to stop refraining from active involvement in this life in this world on this day -— since the Second Coming may very well not be as imminent as you or I may think — and since we’re taught it will unexpectedly sneak in like a thief in the night Withdrawing from our responsibilities in and for and to the world would therefore be inexcusable. And perhaps reflect as much slough as faith.

[LearsFool]

You're right. But many people who claim to study and interpret Revelation appear to have skipped right over the very first verse:

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass"

Revelation is book-ended with statements telling the recipients when those events would take place...

1:3: "for the time is at hand"
22:6: "sent his angels to show unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass"
22:7: "And behold, I come quickly."
22:10: "Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand."
22:12: "Behold, I come quickly"
22:20: "Yea: I come quickly"

And it's no good for them to reply that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day"... unless they want to argue that Revelation was written to the Lord!

In order to be still expecting the four horsemen, a reader would have to ignore all the testimony of the book itself as to when those things were to happen. (Or else argue that Revelation was written in 2014 or something.)

Very nice, I.F. I think you are 100% correct.

[right way right]

Don't leave the religious left out of the mix , and don't use such a broad brush in your assumptions.
Your warning applies to all.
Only Jesus knows the true sheep from the goats.
In the mean time we must fight for truth in Christ crucified.
It is fight for the world that was once lead by a christian nation that
has in a large part turned from God.
Remember God desires mercy, but it is limited by Him alone and in his time. Today is but a sand pebble in his time.
That said, there are signs that Jesus did talk about.

[Iscool]

Every generation since Christ died has believed we were in the last days. Christ Himself said he would come back like a thief in the night and that YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THE TIME.

Nope...Jesus said we wouldn't know the day nor hour...

Paul says we WILL know the TIMES and SEASONS...

1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Would seem that if you didn't read enough scripture to know that we WOULD know the times and seasons, likely you haven't read enough scripture to know the signs that warn us of those times and seasons...

[HiTech RedNeck]

Jesus also rhetorically asked whether He would find faith on the earth. The implication seems to be no. When large segments of a Christian nation are complaining about what has happened to their world, then it’s too soon.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You can’t dodge the “peace and safety” even if that is from the point of view of unbelievers. Right now unbelievers seem to be quite worried.
