Millions of Christians around the world celebrated the resurrection of Jesus yesterday. But when is he is coming back for good?

With two wars on, a global economic recession and continuing violence in the Middle East, it feels a lot like Tribulation Time, say a number of Christians, meaning Jesus might could be here by right about next Tuesday, according to Newsmax, a conservative media company, in the April edition of its monthly magazine.

Moneyquote: Experts of various stripes tell Newsmax that public buzz about the biblical last days is at its highest level since 9/11. Although the Second Coming may appear purely theological to some, end-times beliefs can profoundly influence where people worship, where they donate their money, which politicians they vote for, and how they spend their time and energy.


Says Chuck Colson, the Watergate-burglar turned evangelical do-gooder:”If I were in the business of speculating when Christ will return, I would certainly have a field day today. There is enough going on to make you think that Western Civilization is in the balance. If civilization falls there’s nothing to keep stability in the Middle East and then, of course, you could see the Armageddon.”

In 2006, while 79 percent of American said they believe in the Second Coming, only 20 percent think Jesus will return to Earth during their lifetime.
