ZZ,
The part of your post that I am unsure about is that {the return of Christ} is generally meant in many Christian groups to mean the {time of the end} or, {the end times}.
That is different from {the end of time}. The {time of the end} generally is meant by many Christian groups to have signs to indicate that the {end time} is approaching and that the bible is used as an authority. But there are many different ideas concerning this. And since the thread is about {the return of Christ},is that what you would want to be tied into any response from me or is your question of the nature that it could belong in a separate thread?
