I remember, in 1966, me and a buddy sneaked away from Oakland Air Base, and went to San Francisco. Signs of Jesus second coming were all over, being carried by men and women. There were also signs about the world coming to an end. San Francisco lived up to our expectations. We saw more strange and weird folks that I had ever imagined in my life.
Well, none of those signs pinpointed a date, except for one I have found. Could Michelle Bachman know something we don't, or is she another kook?

The Angels in heaven and Jesus Himself don't know when the end is coming. How would a mere mortal know. I personally feel that portions of The Revelation are happening but I certainly don't have a clue as to when the end is coming.

PO2 William Smith, I'm not sure what the Angels and Christ knows. We will find out soon enough.

A few thoughts:
- Jesus has been "coming soon" since he was crucified in about 33 AD.
- The definition of a minute depends upon what side of the bathroom door that a person is on.
- I would argue that "coming soon" and "a minute" mean a long time for the human/person on the outside of the bathroom but are only a short time for the divine person on the inside where time either has no meaning or has a different meaning.
- I would also argue that Jesus' second coming and when a person meets their maker are two different things. We meet our maker when we die which is time dependent but Jesus' second coming is conditions based. We should not worry about the latter when the former is a lot closer in time for most of us. Let's not lose the forest through the trees on this.

COL Jason Smallfield, PMP, CFM, CM, I'm ready when He is ready. I've been hit by a car, fell off a cliff, had one engine failure, and was shot down twice, had a head on wreck, had a bad wreck three weeks ago, was saved by a stranger knocking on our door to tell us the house was on fire. He has plans for me,which I hope I'm fulfilling.

Correct, sir. To follow on your first comment, the bible was actually much more specific about the end of the world. When Jesus said the end was "coming soon", he specifically said it would come before his contemporaries lives ended. Paul directed the faithful that saving money, getting married, and having children was a complete waste of time. This original failure of prophesy is ignored by the faithful today.

CPT Carl Kisely - I wouldn't say it was a waste of time look how much you learn what not to do again! Not all are blind to the final days, as we try to let everyone know, it is your choice to hear the message! Many believe that if they confess at the last second, they will be saved. It doesn't work that way; we are here to learn and try as we go. We return to the church because we fail and need reassurance and help to stay on trac. That miss conception has so many against religion because we all fail. Maybe they prayed for something and didn't get it, sometimes his answer is NO.

Considering there's been violence in Israel since 1947, He must be taking the scenic route.
