Do you think Y-shua/Jesus will return in your lifetime or is it still afar off? If still afar... How much worse can the world get? I know or believe people still getting saved is holding Messiah back, but when you think about the sin today and the sin that broke G-d's heart so much He regretted creating man He sent the flood... How much longer do you think He will put up with sin?
How Much Longer?

It's not much longer now. It's at the doors. The true fig tree is bearing its leaves. We are much much further along in this story than many realize.
But take heart. These are the birthpangs. The contractions, which are so close now that there's barely any peace.
Just remember to call upon the name when the time comes.

It cannot be too long before Jesus ends sin on earth, and the saints are with Him forever.
God has to end sin on earth one day, and put down the wicked, so He is giving them 7 years to have their way, and cause all people that do not love Him to follow the beast kingdom then He will put them down.
At the end of the 7 years the beast and the world will attack Jerusalem, and Jesus will come back with all saints, and defeat the world, and save Israel, and the kingdom on earth will be restored to Israel, and Jesus and the saints will rule over the heathen that God spared at the battle of Armageddon.
The 7 years period will begin when the man of sin, the New Age Christ, establishes peace in the Middle East, which is a hindrance to the nations coming together, which will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel, and the Jews and the Gentiles will be separated, which is what the man of sin wants, but God means it for good to have the Jews back on their land, which He said He will gather the whole house of Israel, all 12 tribes back to their land, and will not leave any of them anymore in the nations, and they will know the LORD their God from that time forward, and He will not hide His face from them anymore.
When the man of sin establishes peace in the Middle East the nations will come together, and say Peace and safety as they try to establish peace on earth, and the 7 years period will begin.
The first three and one half years repentance and salvation is still available to the world, as God gives them a chance to abort their agenda of going by a unified religious system based on evolution, and people can still evolve, which they are waiting for the New Age Christ to cause them to evolve through the power of nature to be greater, and spiritual.
After the 6th trumpet the world still does not repent of their sins, and turn to God, which is when the transgressors are come to the full, so He gives them the man of sin to rule over them, and he deceives all people that do not love God to follow the beast kingdom.
Israel is blinded in part, for they acknowledge the Old Testament for the most part, but not the New Testament, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in when salvation is no longer available to them, which is when they take the mark of the beast, and follow the New Age Christ, and so all Israel will be saved, which 2 witnesses will turn the nation of Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah for the last three and one half years.
Which Jesus said the Jews will not see Him again until they say blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord, which the nation of Israel, the Jews, will accept Jesus as their Messiah, and God, and then God will restore the kingdom back to them in the millennial reign of Christ, which He said that He will make a full end of all Gentile nations, but will not make a full end of Israel, but they will not be altogether wholly unpunished, and when they have borne their shame, then they shall know the LORD their God from that day forward as a nation.
We know we are in the latter times real close to this all happening for different reasons, but I will point out 2.
Daniel said that he did not understand what was told him concerning the end time, but was told to go his way for he could not understand what was told him, but they will understand at the end time for many shall run to and fro(advanced travel), and knowledge shall be increased(advanced technology), which will cause the world to be able to travel to each other, and know about each other, which then the saints will be able to see, know, and hear, of what is going on around the world, and how they can come together in which they will rebel against God.
Which Jesus said the saints will know of pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes, and nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, around the world.
In the book of Daniel it says what happens at the end time the wicked will not understand, but the wise will understand what is going on because they are on God's side, and know the world will rebel against God, and He will put them down.
In 1 Timothy 4:1-5 God warns us of the new age movement that have an interpretation of the Bible based on the occult, and evolution, and in 2 Timothy 4:2-4 says the time will come when the world will not want to endure the truth of the Bible, but want to hear it according to their own lusts, which is power through nature to evolve to be greater, which will occur during the first three and one half years of the 7 years period.
Which the new age movement is here now which will happen at the latter times, the last days of the last days, and real close to the saints being gathered unto Him, and Jesus putting down the world.
The new age movement will pave the way to the beast kingdom where they will not acknowledge a personal God, but honor the God of forces, or the power of nature as their higher power, and all nations are together, and against the law during the first three and one half years of the 7 years period to preach the Gospel of Christ, which at the end of that time will be when the transgressors are come to the full, which is the falling away first, and then a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences shall stand up, and claim to be God, or the highest power through the power of nature, and when they follow him and take the mark of the beast, then the saints will be gathered unto Christ.
We know we are in the latter times, the end time, because the world knows about each other, and can travel to each other, the new age movement is here, evolution is popular among many people, and many people try to harmonize the nations, and religions.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Lu 21:24-32 24b "And Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the gentiles, until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled."
32 "Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pas away till all be fulfilled.
Israel regained Jerusalem in 1967
Ps 90:10 "For the days of our years are threescore years and ten, and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
1967 + 70 years is 2037 for the furthest date of the 2nd Coming - 7 years for the Tribulation = 2030 for the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Add ten if the Lord uses fourscore years for a generation.
I have the end times all figured out and like DustyRhodes just said, there is no way that I'm correct, sadly. lol@me... : (

BTW... The burning mountain that early in the tribulation, will destroy one-third of the world's population and ships and pollute one-third of the world's rivers.
This will not happen to the King of the North(Russia). Nor to the King of the East(China). Nor to the King of the South(North Africa). Nor to the King of the West(Europe). Which leaves North and South America, for ground zero.
Judgment begins with the house of God, which would be the USA in today's world, and it is our fault that we're ready for judgment according to 2 Chron 7:14. The dust kicked up into the atmosphere will cause massive crop failures making a day's worth of food cost a day's wages for the rest of the world.

Being of a mid-trib rapture opinion; I'll totally agree that the tribulation itself could begin at any moment and without any warning.
The only thing still needed to fulfill prophecy, besides the judgments themselves, is for the temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem by the middle of the tribulation. Speaking of the judgments, I sometimes wonder if the suicide bomber will be the strikes made by the rider of the white horse of the four horsemen. When they do strike, people will not be seeing them or their weapons, only the effect or result of their attacks.

Jesus doesn't return as a physical entity, He has always been coming since 2000 years ago. We are waiting for the end of age which is not imminent either, it is only imminent to those that are not aware:
Dan 8:14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be properly restored.”
Surely, it's not going to be this or next or even the next 2 generations. Our 'going home' is more imminent than the end of age.

What saddens me (and only on cc for 24 hrs( is that i read post after post and we spew out bible verses to make our points but when is the last time we have gone out..witnessed to a non beliver and rejoiced in a soul that accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour in thier life? Why cant we put the same amount of passion and efforts put in the streets witnessing as we seem to do here? Are we missing the point by being distracted by legalism and pettiness online from our true calling by God? Obviously..there is a sense of urgency...we have seen on the news that biblical prophecy is reviealed today..here and now..and believe me..im not pointing fingers because i cant remember the last time i helped lead omeone to salvation..im just posting a thought that just crossed my mind...
Yes..no one knows time and day tge Lord will return but listen to the news..look around..prophecies are becoming realities..better to get your "house in order" than it being too late
