We cannot know when Jesus will return, and looking at the signs, is something that has been happening since the 1st century. Everyone thinks the time they live in is special, and Jesus is returning now, because now is the worst/best time to come. I was just reading that in 17th century eschatology in Britain, the Baptists thought Jesus would return at the turn of the century. Remember, the point is not WHEN he returns, but "will he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8
Get your heart right, and you will be with Jesus no matter what or when it happens.

Are you absolutely positive about your diagnosis?
There will be scoffers in the last days, those who say that people have been expecting the "day" from the beginning, and it is still not here.
Today, our civilization, our society, our complete social structure, is breaking down. Many have placed hope in technology and even social engineering. ( We are seeing the results of that already.) His day might be years away, but I know in my heart that He is close. He is calling people out to become His witnesses, not second hand as so many are, but first hand.
He makes it impossible for these witnesses to testify of Him second hand. If they attempt this, it always fails miserably. In the end, He strips away from them everything but the grace of God's work in our hearts and minds.
Jesus said that everyone who lives and believes in Him will never die. The day to come alive in Him, to live and believe in Him, is at hand. Jesus Himself is at hand. This dying world needs something more than it has seen from the church. It needs to see Jesus in us. It needs this very badly.
