When will the return of the Lord be or if you don't believe how long do we have?

Could be soon if things in the middle east don't cool down a little.  No man knows the time.  We know the signs, and it looks close.  The main thing is to be prepared.

God will rapture only those who are saved (they are the ones Sealed with the Holy Spirit). Once the Tribulation begins all who have heard the gospel will be decieved and when the beast comes and requires a mark (a seal) they will belong to him and never be able to be saved from God's Wrath and Punishment of eternity in the Lake of Fire. \n\nThose who are born again will be raptured before the tribulation begins. Think about the shadows of historical stories in scripture: Noah was saved from the Judgment of the Flood. \n\nCheck out Premillinial books and see that they are accurate with what scripture teaches. \n\nThe Judgments on the earth during the tribulation (see Revelation) will happen during all 7 years of tribulation. If we are saved and forgiven from our sins (born again in Christ) he would not leave us here to be among those judged. The first 3 years are false peace and there are things going on that are coming down from a Just God bringing Wrath. \n\nAmazing how our church has been studying Revelation for 18 weeks now and we covered that stuff a few weeks ago. We are on the 7th and final trumpet before Christ's return with the Redeemed of the Ages and the Angels to reign in the Millenial Kingdom.\n\nHope my info helps you.

Who says that this world be destroyed by fire?  Yes, God will rebuild after the "world" is destroyed, and yes, we are living in "the last days".  We are already living in the "last days". At 2 Timothy 3:1-5 describes the "last days", and Jesus said what to look for when the "last days" arrive, or when he would be King in heaven. (Matthew 24: 3-31). The bible also states that Jesus does not know when the end will come, only his father does, but as a thief in the night it will come. You're cordially invited to the "Deliverance At Hand" convention going on now. It will talk about when the "end" is coming. Also, when the bible speaks of the "end" it is referring to the wicked system of things (wicked people) being destroyed, not the literal earth, since God made the earth for people to inhabit it. \n\nDo you happen to know what Armageddon is? At Rev. 16:14-16 it describes what Armageddon is. It is God's war. It is when God will destroy all the wicked people on earth, those that are opposed to him and the governmental kingdoms on earth. It is not said in the bible exactly when that date is, however, we are not left to guess at what will take place before Armageddon arrives. We are given specific warnings and signs. To especially bring Armaggedon to the fore, the political system will turn on the religious system, which is not very far off. So much wars are caused by religion, so pretty soon, the political system will turn on religion altogether.  After the "world" is destroyed then that will bring about the resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous people back to earth so that they will have the chance to live forever on earth in a beautiful paradise, with no evil influences, since Satan the devil will be abyssed for 1000 years and then completely destroyed, him and his demons.

I believe you have answered your own question.  This is my belief exactly.  The bible specifically tells us that his six days is infinately more then out days.  I believe that God put the wheels in motions and over time we evoved.  Great topic!

Yes, He's coming soon. Only nobody knows when..It's only God who knows that. And it is written in the Bible..Try reading Revelations...and some books in the Bible have that too...

Jesus said i Matthew 24 that only the Father knows!\nThe idea of a 7 year Tribulation comes out of anti reformation theology and would be glad o discuss the merits or lack thereof with you if you like

I can't answer your question...However, I do feel sorry over the fact that you've had so many 'sarcastic' responses.\n\nI believe in time, the 'mystery' behind the Book of Revelations and the various symbolism,etc. will be revealed. God has not, however - given me insight into what this verse "EXACTLY" means...but like others, I have my suspicians.\n\nGood luck in finding a complete explanation on here.

That's a hard question to answer.  Christians are generally split when it comes to the teaching of the Rapture.  Some Christians interpret a verse in Thesselonians to mean that there will be a rapture, while others (myself included) believe that Christ will return one more time, and one more time only...and when that happens, that's it.  There will be no second chances.\n\nHowever, even those who believe that the Rapture will occur believe that it has not occurred yet.  So, therefore, a logical answer to your question is, we're somewhere BEFORE the beginning of Book One.

from what I read, I will be asleep until the day of judgement.  The Bible says that the dead knoweth nothing.\nThe Bible also says absent in body present with the LORD, so I know that there is a part of me that will return to the LORD even as part of me sleeps in the grave.

I think you would really rather be going up to heaven at that time. The earth won't be worth living on for the at least next 7 years after the Rapture takes place.  There will be diseases and death and massive destruction and earthquakes and darkness and not much food to eat. Please reconsider John 3:16

Zealous Christians have been predicting 'the second coming' and the end of the world since Jesus' time.\n\nIt's been 2000 years.\n\nAre you going to start living in reality, or are you still waiting for the world to end and you be given everything you desire in heaven?

It won't matter then. It will all be over but the crying if you are unprepared, and it will all be over but the rejoicing if you are prepared.\n\nWhen Jesus returns, life on planet earth will end---heaven and earth will pass away. Eternity awaits all with the resurrection of the just and the unjust.

i do believe that Jesus is coming soon to take us with Him in Heaven. but no one can tell when will that happen. Only God knows the time of his return. all that matter is,, in anytime you must be ready for his return. with a pure and loving heart. And this is the only thing i am sure about,, Jesus is coming for you,, and it is soon as you realize it. To God be the Glory Forever!
