How urgent is this
When will all this happen?
Jesus gives us a prophecy with reference to "The Fig Tree" (representing Israel), showing us that it will be just one generation that will witness both the re-birth of the Nation of Israel (this took place in May 1948) and the fulfilment of the end times chaos, even to the final Return of The King - Jesus.
We are expected to know the season, and it is here NOW. Don't be fooled by the old 'like a thief in the night' saying. That applies to those who are not 'awake', to non-believers. It will certainly come as a shock to them! It's a bit like another mis-quote "money is the root of all evil' !! Of course it is actually "the love of money" which is the root of all evil. See details from Paul's 1st letter to the Thesalonians
Signs in the Heavens
When God created the world, see Genesis ch 1, He tells us the Lights in the sky - the sun, moon and stars - are there to separate the day from night, but also to serve as signposts to His "appointed times". Now that we have programmes like Stellarium, we can see in advance where the stars will be on any given date. Remember the Wise Men in the Christmas story? They came from the East and they knew from the stars that the King had been born, and set off on a long journey to worship Him. They knew how to read the signs in the heavens. They had ancient knowledge that gave them the key to one of God's key appointed times! We know to expect Him again very soon. Not only do the starry heavens declare the glory of God, but they display and reveal knowledge (which the Wise Men could interpret).
If we choose to look up and consider the wonders of the universe, like the Psalmist wrote here, or look at our amazing bodies; how complex they are, and how they grow and self heal; the detail of eyes and brain; both common sense and science would say it is obvious that there is a creator. And though we may deny this, we are without excuse! Since He has intervened in our Earth from outside of time, with authentic messages, even sending His Son to be born of Mary, to die and come back to life. And we will be held accountable for our worldview in this area. See Paul's words from the amazing letter Paul wrote to the new Believers in Rome, which we know as the book of Romans
Jesus also tells us to look out for the signs, including solar and lunar eclipses and the ways the planets and stars are converging in the heavens,
Lastly, having read the important details on the pages above, please consider this final warning from the mouth of Jesus
The point Jesus is making, is - there is little time left, and this event will happen without any further warning signs. Do not delay. If you don't want to be left behind, then choose life today.
