How Long Will Christians Wait for the End Time to Come?

How Long Will Christians Wait for the End Time to Come?
Even during biblical times, the Thessalonians thought they were seeing signs of the so-called end times. What are we told to look for—earthquakes, wars, famine, disobedient children, people falling away from the faith, etc. Jesus guaranteed that every generation after him would see signs they were in the end times, so how long are you going to wait before you realize it’s not going to happen? Jesus told the people his generation would not pass before he returned and took up his church. Christians either ignore this passage in Matthew 24 or they come up with some convoluted re-interpretation of the word “generation.” Those phony European proselytes running around the Middle East calling themselves Jews don’t have the slightest biological connection to Abraham so no they don’t fulfill any prophesy and they’re presence cannot be counted as the generation Jesus was talking about.

If he’d wanted to show that he knew the end times and these days in which we now live are the end times, he would have said something like “In those days men shall fly in machines that fly like birds in the air and they shall shrink the earth with those machines. In those days a man shall sit in his house and talk to his friend in another city and he shall use a friend talk to his friend and they shall talk the two of them and they shall hear one another as if they were in the same room even though they be in different cities. Beware ware for in those days a man shall anger the king in another country and the king shall bend his bow to send his arrow to kill that man and the king shall direct the arrow where it shall go so that it kill only that man and he shall not leave his country to do this but the man shall die of an arrow shot from another country. And in those days men shall hang great moving pictures on the walls of their houses and the pictures shall move and speak and make women laugh and cry.”

How long will the church wait for something that according to the Bible should have already happened?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

There is no such thing as the church.

The short answer is, there will always raving nutters waiting for the end of the world. As is shown by one of our more excentric members.

Nobody knows the end, but there will always be those claiming its imminence.

Correction Rhonda, Jesus stated the generation SEEING the signs He spoke of would not pass away.

Biblicaly the last days are the last 2 0r 3 millenniums. A play on "A day with the lord is AS a thousand years".

Day 7 will be here on the 23rd of September.

Pay no attention to the exponential earthquake chart, forget the volcanoes (now numbering 52?).
You were not told by the media of the mass bird, fish and animal die-offs? Wonder why?
Didn't see the water in various places turn blood red?

Pay no attention to the facilitating of Iran's nuke program by O.
Pay no attention to the New World Order, FEMA camps, UFOs Jade Helm ("Mastering the Human domain"logo) .

If you believe the world is coming to an end, you should donate all of your money to charities before it happens. No religious charities though, because why the fuck would they still be there after the rapture? Go find some homeless people and give them everything you own. Maybe two or three days before the rapture. You won't need your money after that.
