100% If these people supposedly found proof from the bible when the world is going to end then they are contridicting what the bible says with the above verse. Because Jesus obviously knows the whole bible (hey even satan does) he would then know the date too hense making the above verse wrong. So ya! There is certain signs that will tell us better when we could expect him to return. Some things I rememeber He will only return when everyone has heard about him and had a choice wether to serve him or not. The world is quite evangenlised, but there is still groups of people in the "dark" Places like europe is becoming the new mission field where modern generations are now growing up without any religous inputs. They talk about one currency for the world, we can already see it in the euro. The israelites will return to their country. Peace in the middle east (possibly brought along by the anti-christ?) Mark of the beast (but I am not sure if this would come into place before or after the rapture. Current speculation is that the mark will be some kind of access tag within your skin to contain your identity and to do away with cash totally. Without cash, no cash in transit crimes etc. Also no "black-market trade" as all transactions will need to go through one system. Hense big brother will know everything about you then. We have all heard about the mark being on the forehead or arm. Well they have determined to keep a access tag alive in the body you need obtimal temperature ranges and those locations are "apparantly" always constant. No single event I listed above will signal his immediate return, but God did give us a few clues as to when we could expect them. Over the past years christians have been jumping up and down - repent, repent the end is near. We may never see the rapture, it may only happen in 1000 years. No one knows. But if you see many of the above signs all happening at once, then you can start to worry (if you dont know where you are going )
