Mr Taylor, who has been involved in the movement for 30 years, has distanced himself from followers of the Mayan calendar who believed the world would end in December last year.
An international frenzy was sparked by that suggestion and people ran to mountain tops while others hid in specially-built bunkers.
But Mr Taylor, a retired minister, said he does not have an exact date for the end of days.
He added: "It could be at any time but we are not into speculating about dates as the Bible says that no man should know the time that it will happen.
Soon
"All we know is that it is imminent. It could happen very soon as there are increasing signs."
According to their theology, the Second Coming will come in two phases.
It will begin with the Rapture, in which non-believers are left behind on Earth, while believers ascend in the air to meet the Lord.
Secondly, there will be seven years of tribulation "climaxing in the Battle of Armageddon" where there will be blood shed "up to horses bridles".
Earthquakes and conflicts around the world are given as telltale signs the end is nigh.
And if the end of the world does come, we will not need to run to bunkers with supplies.
"Christ will be returning here soon," said Mr Taylor. "This is the future hope for the world."
Four rallies will be held in Cheltenham this year in a bid to persuade people to believe in God and to save themselves.
The first rally takes place on March 2 at 7.30pm at the Elim Christian Centre, on St George's Road, in Cheltenham.
The next events will happen on the first Saturdays of June, September and December.

“It would be enlightening if The Reverend Glyn Taylor could join this forum and back up his 'theory'. Afterall, surely nothing can be worse than the end of the world for us non-believers...or isn't he so charitable?
I'm confused (which is easily done). The articles states "Four rallies will be held in Cheltenham this year in a bid to persuade people to believe in God and to save themselves.
The first rally takes place on March 2 at 7.30pm at the Elim Christian Centre, on St George's Road, in Cheltenham." My guess is that if you don't believe, you wont go anyway, if you do believe in this, you'll turn up. So what is the point of the rallies again?
I remember at school, Jesus supposedly rose from the dead after his crucifixion, so did Lazarus and so did many people who were crucified at the same time as Jesus....sounds like rising from the dead was quite common back then?”

“He should hand over all his belongings to charity. After all, he won't need them after the Rapture, will he?”

“"Earthquakes and conflicts around the world are given as telltale signs the end is nigh."

“Let me get this right. The Reverend Glyn Taylor states "It will begin with the Rapture, in which non-believers are left behind on Earth, while believers ascend in the air to meet the Lord". So the 'Lord' discriminates? For example, if a non-believer is a good person and has been good all his/her life, they will be left behind and the ones who do believe including the 'sinners' (and history tells us that there are plenty of those within the church in the past and today) will be saved?
So, if this fairytale is true, the 'Lord' doesn't differentiate between good and evil but just if people believe in him or not. I wasn't aware the 'believers' thought the 'Lord' was so vain and insecure!”

“Is this really news? The church has been preaching this message for two thousand years!
Alfredo - science may claim to give the world five billion years but there are greater powers that science can't explain.”
