Ever since Christ ascended into Heaven- people have always been expecting His return and have tried to guess when this will happen. The Bible reminds us no one knows when He shall come- yet we have such an interest in trying to guess when he shall return. It has even lead to a split in the Church and is always a topic of conjecture. Sir Isaac Newton suggested that He we return around 2060. I'm curious to know what your thoughts are about the claim that this generation is living in the end times.

Personally- all the signs are there- but quite frankly- most of them have been present throughout history. One can only imagine what those living during the Black Plague must have thought about the End of the World. Now; however, Israel is a country surrounded by the most volatile countries in the world, Israel is always faced with the treat of war so much that everyone- male or female- is required to serve in the armed services at least once in their lifetime. We're certainly building up to it- but will this be the generation? Personally, I doubt I'll start thinking that way unless Solomon’s Temple is rebuilt (right now- the site above the old temple is the Dome of the Rock...talk about almost impossible) or if Pope Peter II is elected (reference to St. Malachy's 'Prophecy of the Popes')

What are the thoughts of you all about the increasing number of claims that we are in the final days?

Gloria Patri et Filii et Spiritu Sancti, Amen!
