True- however it is the first time in human history that a nation such as Israel has been miraculously reconstituted after almost two thousand years, (Exactly as the Hebrew prophets predicted) and it is also the first time in human history where literally “All nations” on earth can sit in a single body and “cast lots” to determine the fate of God’s people,(The UN) . Throw in a meteorite and a crippling Volcanic ash cloud, and I would say, “To Him who has ears to hear, let Him hear!”
When they start piling stones into a temple on Moriah that will be the code red for me. Everything else is rumor and speculation.
They did that in 1948 - why has nothing happened in the intervening 62 years?

Were you shouting the same thing when Mt. St. Helens blew up? Or Pinatubo, which was a MUCH more catastrophic event than this one? And this was hardly the first bright meteor of the last 62 years - meteors enter the atmosphere constantly, and we get meteors of this size/brightness at least once per year.
So why is THIS time different? For that matter, why is "this" time *always* different with you people, and how do you manage to immediately forget all the previous predictions that didn't pan out, even though *that* time was different. Do you have any idea how thoroughly this stuff discredits Christianity in the eyes of people who pay attention to it?
I have no problem with futurists in general in this regard. But every time you Chicken Littles predict that it's just around the corner, a few more people decide that Christians are all idiots.
That was 1948-We are in the countdown.
Bible prophecy tells of a world ruler who will demand allegiance to him AS God, and that allegiance will be shown by a mark either on the forhead or right hand, without no man shall be able to buy or sell.
Never before today, has technology allowed a completely cashless society, where a person could buy or sell simply by bank transactions, from a chip implanted in their body. The technology is there, and the powers that be want to use it- SOON.
The Bible tells us of a coming war, of a coalition army of what are today muslim nations, that will futily attack Israel. Daily, in the news there are stories of one muslim leader or another verbally attacking Israel. Once allied or friendly muslim nations are increasingly retreating from or turning their backs on Israel.
The Bible tells us the the World will hate Israel, and finally gather to attack her.
Israels strongest ally has put a muslim sympathizing leader in place. He has done everything except openly admit hatred and opposition to Israel. As hostilities toward Israel grow daily, her one true national ally has turned its back. Israel is now ALONE. With the retreat of the US as an obvious ally, once friendly nations toward Israel will become more opposed.
I became interested in end time Bible prophecy in my teens in the mid 70's. I have watched as events have been lining up for the past 35 years. Some might discredit an occurence or 2 here and there, but when the observent view things happening over time, the map becomes clear and the hour glass more visable.
No man knows the day or hour of the Lords return. But just like prophecy fortelling of his first coming, the signs are there. There were people waiting and expecting then, just as there are people waiting and expecting now.
We are in the last days-not the last centuries. Time is running out for the harvest.
Looking at what I've seen in the recent past, and seeing what is happening today, and what is forming for tomorrow, I think we are VERY close to the beginning of the 7 year tribulation. MY PERSONAL belief is the beginning of the tribulation is NO MORE than 10 years out. But probably MUCH closer than that. Maybe a few years, as I watch things unfolding.
What I have noticed is things in the last 2 years, worldwide, have been speeding up. As I look back over the last 35 years, the events of 20-30 years ago were happening much slower. Today things seem to be aligning almost on a daily basis.
