Yes

Why? Because it makes no difference to me if He comes tonight or 200 years from now. He's already done everything for the rest of our lives on this earth. We have power, through the blood, over the devil. We have the power of the spirit of truth, to guide us in all things, always. If we abide in Him, we can always trust in Him to provide whatever it is we need, up until the day He returns. What would we care when He comes? We have a job to do until He returns, no matter if He returns tomorrow or 1000 years from now. As Jesus said, "If you love me, feed my sheep." That's our primary job as Christians. Of course, that includes feeding all those that are 'lost' sheep.
It must be only natural to want to know and understand these things, even Daniel did. God kindly told him that he wouldnt see it in his lifetime.
Yes, probably ever since Jesus said I am coming back people have looked for his return. Every generation is looking longingly for his return. It will happen in its appointed time no matter what we believe or dont believe. So no, I dont know the day or the hour. But I still go outside and look up, longingly waiting for His return.
I do think it is so cool that we have gotten to see prophecy fulfilled in our lifetimes. Israel again is a nation. Hebrew is no longer a dead language. Israels land has come back to life no longer is it called God Forsaken. The trees have come back to Israel. Jewish people are still returning to Israel. And we, in our lifetime can see much more prophecy fulfilled, and how cool is that. And in my lifetime see christians embracing Jews, and desiring to return to their Jewish roots. Praise God, these are exciting times.
God Bless and Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem!

Two thoughts.
1. No i don't believe Jesus will come in my lifetime for one reason. I think he will come around the year 6000. According to the Jewish calendar it is only the year 5772.
2. Jesus seemed to want everyone to believe he would return soon even his own apostles who died long ago. I think it is important to the way we live to expect Christ to return at any moment.
So there needs to be a coalescence of contrarieties.
