Bible Answer: fatherbrown: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! May I suggest that Matthew 24 has the words of Jesus on the end of time and His return. Notice the word "YET", and how often Jesus uses yet. I personally read Revelation with my Bible turned to Matthew 24 and try to see how the two books fit together. As I understand Jesus, He is saying to be ready! By being ready then whatever happens my spiritual life is consistant. I live as Jesus might return at any time, but plan and work like He may not come for many years to come. We can not say for certian when Jesus will return, even Jesus said only the Father knows when. I find those who attempt to predict the return of Christ acting against what Christ said. There are many good books that deal with end of time theories, and yes, there are many who even fight with anger over who is right. It seems to me there are better efforts made in sharing Jesus in our normal traffic pattern of life. A good resource is a NIV Study Bible or Life Aplication Study Bible. Both are offered in NIV or NASB. Either or both Bibles are a worthy investment in your spiritual growth. Perhaps your Chruch has a Library and there may be a wealth of growth waiting for you there.
