The more things go on, the more I have a very strong feeling that the end of the church age is here and that we are even closer to the "end of time" as we know it as followers of God.

The Jews are looking for their messiah, while the Christians are looking for the return of Jesus, whom Christians claim to be the messiah.  At this point I don't think it really matters.  The writings of both the old and new testaments have announce a return and as we are looking at the future through glasses we have aquired, there is little doubt that God's plan is coming once more into play and we need to be ready and watchfull of His coming.
