My curiosity as to what exactly they are has been piqued. I've heard something about Israel returning, the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon, and the united world, but that's about it. Does anyone have a ...I wanted to say "good," but what I really mean is I'd like a clear and comphrensive resource on these.
 
Wait a second, you're looking for a clear and comprehensive prediction of the future? Even Sylvia Brown knows better than that. ;)
 
Some of the most dominant themes in today's end time prophecies got going with Hal Lindsey's "The Late Great Planet Earth", which is about 30 years old, widely available in public libraries, and an easy read. Plus, because it is thirty years old, it has the advantage of already being wrong on some details, which makes it more fun to read. Despite the errors, today's Rapture believers have retained basically all the prophecies of that book, just updated with new antichrists and the like.

(The Soviet Union was very obviously the nation that would invade Israel to bring about the battle of Armageddon, according to Lindsey.)

Oddly enough, the best source of information I found on the "end time prophecies" from the book of revelation was none other than the footnotes in my Bible, a Catholic version.

There, it said that the "end time prophecies" were best seen as present time prophecies. They were an apocalyptic description of the persecution of Christians that was happening at the time the book was written, under the emperor Diocletian. (Or was it Nero. I forget.) Whoever it was, the number of his name, when spelled in Hebrew, added up to 666.
 
Wars,rumours of war, earthquakes and natural disasters of all kinds.Of course this pretty much covers human history past ,present and probably future.More precisely if I have my prophecies straight,there is supposed to be a peacemaker that oversees the signing of a 7 year peace deal between Israel and her enemies.after 3.5 years the covenant is broken and the peacemaker is found to be non other than the anti-christ.Watch that Condaleeza Rice!!!After that there seems to be rapturing,tribulation,and general mayhem and a lot of hell to pay.
 
There'll be a New World Order, the Harry Potter books, Sinister Evil Barcodes, and the coming of the Antichrist.

It's all in Revelations if you know where to look.

Well, yes but Revelations was written after having a hearty mushroom dinner, is dense, poetic (blech!), and refers more to Nero and the Roman Empire. I want the more generally accepted "BLAH BLAH FISHCAKES IS SIGN OF END TIMES."

I do appreciate what's been provided, especially since it's satisfying nothing more than a combined TWS episode (train wreck syndrome), honest curiosity, and just sheer amusement.

Um... Do you really mean and the coming of 1inChrist?:)

Everybody's familiar with this end-time prophecy, right?

There shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia-work base, that has an attachment. At that time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock.
