As much as I'm a fan of on-topic threads, I think the questions raised in this thread are ALL relevant to the original post. See, the fact is there is no single answer to the original questions. In fact, the answers one gives depend largely on one's understanding and belief about the background of the Bible. For example, there are just about as many different interpretations as to what "second coming" means as there are people who believe there will be or has been some sort of "second coming."
Personally, I'd like to leave it up to the_marq to tell us whether or not we're wasting his time with the discussions of background. There's no such thing as a simple answer regarding religion, and it's disingenuous to try and give one.
