read it for your self:
30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven. At that time, all the peoples of the earth will mourn. They will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven. He will come with power and great glory. 31 He will send his angels with a loud trumpet call. They will gather his chosen people from all four directions. They will bring them from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you know that the end is near. It is right at the door. 34 What I’m about to tell you is true. The people living now will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will never pass away.
The Day and Hour Are Not Known
36 “But no one knows about that day or hour. Not even the angels in heaven know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows. 37 Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes. 38 In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark. 39 They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40 Two men will be in the field. One will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill. One will be taken and the other left.
42 “So keep watch. You do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 You must understand something. Suppose the owner of the house knew what time of night the robber was coming. Then he would have kept watch. He would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at an hour when you don’t expect him.
45 “Suppose a master puts one of his slaves in charge of the other slaves in his house. The slave’s job is to give them their food at the right time. The master wants a faithful and wise slave for this. 46 It will be good for the slave if the master finds him doing his job when the master returns. 47 What I’m about to tell you is true. The master will put that slave in charge of everything he owns. 48 But suppose that slave is evil. Suppose he says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time.’ 49 Suppose he begins to beat the other slaves. And suppose he eats and drinks with those who drink too much. 50 The master of that slave will come back on a day the slave doesn’t expect him. He will return at an hour the slave does not know. 51 Then the master will cut him to pieces. He will send him to the place where pretenders go. There people will weep and grind their teeth.
(There are some who believe that the “fig tree” in verse 32 represents the return of the Israelites to Israel.)
first we say that Master Jesus was and still is the disciple of Christ and at this very time BOTH are on earth. Christ is the world teacher for all humanity and not considered as a religous teacher at all. Jesus is still the Messiah for the Jews who as yet will not accept Christ .
It is not reliable to ask people to tell you what the bible says. Many people will make up stuff because they don't know what it says, and many will make up stuff because they wish it would not say what it says. You just have to read it for yourself. The prophecy is in Daniel. The Revelation To St. John is addressed to Jews, so it's hard for others to understand it.
The battle you mention is generally known as Armageddon, and it is quite a production. The most significant thing about it IMO is that the USA is prominently absent. The nation must collapse and become helpless before then. That bugs me because it seems to be happening as we watch. All the financial analysts are warning to ... They don't actually know what to do, but they know something is coming down. If the world is ending, should you sell all your stocks, or buy more?
It is reported that Jesus will come back for a final battle.
As we all know, Jesus is God.
As we all ALSO know, God has a problem with "weapons made from iron".
So, The people of Planet Earth will defeat God/Jesus with their iron and steel made weapons, send THEM to their hell, and live happily ever after.
Revelation 16:13, 14. The battle is between all the kings of the earth and God.
Online eh.
Well then it must be true
Maybe your should realize that the bible itself is not true and you have been sucked into a mind control scam
Christians have speculated about the book of Revelation and the prophecies of Isaiah and Daniel for, oh, about 1900 years now. Much more is written (or recorded) than is actually known.
Unless one tries to make the whole topic somehow allegorical, there does seem to be a battle coming between the forces of evil and those of good (or, perhaps, less evil).
For most of the past 19 centuries, Christianity believed that were were in fact in the millennium (the 1000-years of relative peace, compared to what's coming, where "1000 years" is not necessarily literal, but "a really long time", much like "seventy times seven" doesn't mean we forgive only 490 times, but indefinitely), and that at the return of Jesus, he will set up his eternal rule that will never end (which is what the Nicene Creed states), vanquishing evil for good at this final battle.
Beginning sometime in the 19th century, a new interpretation sprung up that has thrown everyone into great confusion. In this new interpretation, 1900 years of Christian history is simply ignored. This coming "final battle" is taken to be not a final battle at all, but Christ comes again (2nd coming) 1) to take Christians to heaven for 7 years while all hell breaks loose here; 2) to come a 3rd time to establish a 1000-year rule (2000 years too late, according to the old interpretation). This new millennium *will fall* to Satan's forces 1000 years (and they mean it literally) from when it's established. Then Christ comes yet a *4th time* to establish his eternal rule. So much for the "Second Coming." It's all horribly confusing, makes a mess of Jesus' words, and completely ignores how the early church thought of these things.
The Nicene Creed says this about Jesus: "And he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead; of his kingdom there shall be no end." Most Christians (but not Evangelicals) believe that Christ will come only one more time, to defeat Satan, to judge the world, and to establish his eternal kingdom.
So what do we do? Be ready for the coming of the Master. Do not worry about the times, but pray and keep the faith.
Forgive me.

THE eastern world is a place that has been plagued by war s hatred and bloodshed through out history and surely it is about to get worse that can already be seen.HOW ever there are two wars that are yet to be fought that will trigger the final battle of ARMAGEDDON and they are psalm 83 and EZEKIEL 38-39 THAT will cause the destruction of DAMASCUS. i honestly think that the alignment with RUSSIA FRANCE ENGLAND AMERICA AND CHINA IN THE middle east against ISIS IS about to trigger this war.THIS will bring about a peace treaty that will be sign between ISRAEL AND many NATIONS FOR seven years,AFTER three and one half years of peace the treaty will be broken by RUSSIA.IT is at this time at the end of the seven year treaty that GOD will gather all nations at a place call ARMAGEDDON for the final battle that will be fought in the valley of JEHOSHAPHAT in JERUSALEM.THE mount of olives over looks the valley of JEHOSHAPHAT where JESUS will return to end it all.
AND to think that the cause of it all is that little place that GOD has HIS name upon JERUSALEM.
IT is written he that parts MY LAND his land I THE GOD of ISRAEL shall also part.
The story is found in Revelation 19. The Battle is at Megiddo, Armageddon, not Jerusalem. We don't know if it is literally Megiddo a valley in Israel or if this represents some place else as prophecy often does. At this time Jesus will return to His Kingdom as King which Christians are supposed to be preparing on earth.
You need to turn to the word of God, not man to know. When Jesus comes again, He will never set foot on this earth again and He will destroy all the physical, and then the Judgment.
Between, not betwine. Get it right. Yes, everything you read online is 100% completely true, yes indeedy. It's all true. Yup, no question about it.
