Kevin: It’s been 2000 years since the final prophecies were recorded, and today the foundation for the convergence of nearly every prophetic sign foretold and the remaining Biblical prophecies have never been more prominent. As a result, a recent rise in debate regarding the signs of the times has led to growing division regarding when the Messiah will return. After all, if the events prophesied within the ancient records are indeed to come to pass, then knowing the timing of the Lord’s return would be of great importance.

Jay McCarl, Middle East Anthropologist
Jay McCarl: The timing is a real hot-button, especially among religious people, Christians and what the like. We love predictability. We want to know when He’s going to be coming back.

Jan Markell, Founder, Olive Tree Ministries
Jan Markell: The conflict, the disagreement, the contention over the timing of the rapture, and particularly in the last ten years, has gone off the charts.

J. D. Farag, Theologian, Senior Pastor
J. D. Farag: Instead of saying “my how they love one another” as they said of the early church, now today they say of the church, “my how they fight with one another”.
