WE WERE COMMANDED TO WATCH FOR THE SIGNS OF HIS RETURN FOR A REASON!!
Regarding how fast we are approaching the end of the age, I was recently pondering that maybe God, in His infinite mercy, may allow "the Church" to undergo some hard and trying times to bring us to where we need to be in Him and to draw us out of the world (if the world is chaotic and cataclysmic there would be no more electronic "fluff" and constant pursuit of entertainment for the Church to be tightly grasping with a death grip)!
Then it hit me, Jesus, Yeshua Ha Mashiach, forewarned the Church to watch of all the events that are now taking place. Over and over, our Lord told us to WATCH for the multitude of signs He gave us. Our omniscient and omnipotent God does nothing or says nothing without a precise purpose. He does not issue commandments that are optional for us to obey. He commands us so because He loves us and wants only the best for us, His children.
Just like we earthly parents warn and command our little ones to not cross the busy street solely for their protection and because we love them so much. How much more should God's commandments and warnings mean to us as we know HE IS LOVE AND HE KNOWS ALL!
Luke 11: 11“Which of you fathers, if your son asks forf a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
The Church has been warned-God extended His grace in repeatedly warning us to WATCH! If we are not ready, it falls on us as God gave us the signs to watch for so we could be prepared. He did His part-it is now up to us to do ours by preparing ourselves AND others!
We, of course, cannot be certain if the Rapture is pre-Tribulation or pre-wrath (at the opening of the 6th seal of Revelation) as only God knows for sure. We, however, can know it is NOW time to prepare ourselves to be ready for either the soon-coming Rapture or else to be able to endure through some troublesome times until He comes!
The Lord also gave us the multitudinous and specific signs that He commanded us to watch for indicating the signs of His return, to instill in us an urgency to spread His Gospel!
The Great Commission
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

THE MIDDLE EAST IS HEATING UP FOR THE PSALM 83 WAR! THIS WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE WORLD WAR THREE!!
In Damascus, Syria, tens of thousands of Syrians and Palestinians vehemently protested Israel's building of"settlements" in her own captial, Jerusalem.
Obama's strong anti-Israel stance and demand that Israel cease the legal building of housing in Jerusalem (as it impedes his plans to divide Jerusalem) has only served to rally and embolden these neighboring blood-thirsty enemies of Israel who want nothing less that the annihilation of the Jewish people.
This is all leading to the final fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1:
Isaiah 17 :1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Notable is the fact that Damascus is the oldest, inhabited city in the history of the world so this prophecy has never been fulfilled. However, we can see everything lining up for Damascus, one day soon, to cease to be a city.
The very fact that most of the major terrorist organizations are headquartered in Damascus is like a bullseye has been painted on Damascus.
DAMASCUS, Syria – Tens of thousands of Syrians and Palestinians have gathered in a Damascus square in a government-orchestrated "march of anger" against Israeli settlements in east Jerusalem.
The crowd at the central Youssel al-Azmi square waved Syrian and Palestinian flags and pictures of Hamas leaders as they shouted anti-Israel slogans Friday.
Senior Hamas official Mohammed Nazzal condemned what he called Israel's "brutal aggression" on holy sites.
The U.S. and Arab countries want Israel to stop building Jewish homes in east Jerusalem — the section of the city that Palestinians want as the capital of a future state.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses, saying the entire holy city must remain Israel's eternal capital.

Residents of south Israel fear another war brewing
"Communities surrounding Gaza say death of two soldiers in Gaza Friday, along with continuous rocket fire, may be sign full-blown military conflict nearing. 'We don’t deserve to live like this,' Kfar Aza resident says."

The tensions are clearly increasing as the the looming Psalm 83 War draws nearer. Gaza is already bombarding Jewish communities with rocket fire which will will eventually have to be dealt with and which many Israeli's fear will lead to "full-blown military conflict".
Obama's recent abhorrent behavior towards Israel as well as the Aministration's chastisement of Israel for having "the nerve" to build Jewish housing in her own legal capital, evidences that Obama will no longer allow America to be Israel's ally.
The reason that Obama is applying constant pressure on Israel regarding her decision to continue to build Jewish housing (termed "settlements" by Obama) is because he intends to divide Jerusalem and east Jerusalem is the area that he intends to give away to the Palestinians.
This CANNOT be allowed as Jerusalem is God's Holy City and given only to His children of Israel. As such, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to negotiate any divison saying," the entire holy city must remain Israel's eternal capital."We Might Need to Retake Gaza, Destroy Hamas
'Minister Yuval Steinitz of Likud warned Sunday that Israel may be forced to retake control of Gaza and topple the Hamas regime. In an interview with goverment-run Voice of Israel Radio, Steinitz said that Israel “will not tolerate” Hamas's growing rocket arsenal.
The minister's warning came two days after two Israeli soldiers were killed in a clash with terrorists in Gaza. Gaza terrorists have increased the frequency of their rocket attacks on southern Israel in recent weeks; several days ago, a rocket killed a Thai worker on a kibbutz [communal settlement].
Steinitz also discussed the United States's pressure on Israel regarding housing for Jews in Jerusalem. America's criticism of Israel is not advancing peace, but rather, is having the opposite effect, he stated.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has already made two significant gestures to the Palestinian Authority, by freezing construction for Jews in Judea and Samaria and by working to improve the PA economy, Steinitz said. By continuing to pressure Israel, the US is giving the impression that it is less friendly to Israel than it was in the past, which encourages the PA to up its demands, he explained."

If tens of thousands are angrily protesting Israel's LEGAL building of Jewish housing in her own capital just think what these deranged people will do if Israel "RETAKES GAZA" and "DESTROYS HAMAS". Hamas is the major terrorist organization which is currently the governing authority over Gaza, that has almost evolved into an anarchy,
Basically, not only is Israel NOT giving away part of of her Holy City, but instead they may actually take back the land of Gaza that has been under the Palestinians's rule since 1994~
This, in and of itself, could ignite the Psalm 83 War/World War Three. There are many other enemy fronts that have been arming themselves "to the teeth" and all are poised like salivating wolves, ready to pounce on their prey-tiny Israel.
This multitude of nations that desire to "wipe Israel off the map" do not realize that the minute nation of Israel has the Great God of Israel as her protector. Furthermore, they are completely unaware that these current events were prophesied thousands of years ago so we know the ending: Israel will prevail!
Zechariah 12: 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the LORD. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.'
