when the apostles asked Jesus when the sign of Jesus' coming & the end of the world ... Jesus spells out what must happen before He comes back (matt.24). He gave us these prophecies so we would know the times we are living in.
from what is going on right now w/ abbas (palestinian leader) & olmert (prime minister of israel), it is possible the final 7 years could start as early as this coming november.
so, if you "got things to do", it might be good that you do them fairly soon.
the main thing "to do" ... is to make sure of your salvation (acts 2:38 ... also chapters 8, 10, 19)

He told us when. It's when all the armies that come to fight against Jerusalem capture it, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. It won't be pretty, and is not the moment of peace in the world until after these things happen.
Zechariah 14
2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.
3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.

You must be about your Fathers business.
Jesus states that He don't know the time when He will appear only the Father (God) in heaven knows. He says he will come expectantly like a thief in the night. So be ready and on guard always.
He is bringing in the harvest (all that will come to Him). He is giving man time before that great day comes! Read Matthew 24th chapter. I look forward to His coming!

According to New Testament scripture, Jesus said that we need to be ready any time since we will not know the day or the hour. I like this saying, and you may/may not find it helpful: Dance as if no one were watching. Sing as if no one were listening. Live every day as if it were your last.

"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
"But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a raor, the elements will be destroyed by fire and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare."
2 Peter 3:9,10

Maybe He's showing up even as we type. Maybe it's not going to be a sudden thing: maybe it'll be so gradual that you won't even realize it till He's looking at your right square in the face.

go and do these things..but BE READY so that you are NOT SURPRISE like the 5 virgin where were NO prepared.
the story about the thief come..when nobody expect him.
JESUS will come in such a way.
NOW..a sign of TIME is.
the REVELATIONAL CHURCH of LIGHT, of LOVE of TRUTH
will be of ONE ACCORD..in agreement.
is that now? NO.
the bride..who are called and answering their call
shall be submissive..not rebellious...or stubborn.
the bride will have spiritual ears to hear and eyes to see.
the coming of GOD..
there are lots of cluse..
SIGN IN HEAVEN.is there any? no...not yet.
a solar elciple? or solar explosion? world in darkness for 3 days? like last days of moses??
is the body of christ..HEALED? delievered of addiction..deliever of lust of the eyes..or flesh..or self pride? NO..not yet.
are the apostles, prophets..evangelist here yeet?? NO..not yet.
is there a WORLD WIDE EVANGELISM??/ NO NOT YET.
is the church people out od dehts supernaturally? NO ..not yet.
(faith and obedience to tithing..offering at the right time..in right amount..on and on...lack of knowledge is why the church folks die young..or go astray...like the parable of the seed in harden ground(atheist) in rocky soil..(lack of self disciole)..overcome by thorns of life.(satan lies..using people..lust of money(we can't follow spirit of mammon/money) we can only follow one GOD..money is god to some folks..or most of us..
and last what is planted in good soft/humble ground..we as seed will sprout like the oak of righteousness.
SO..in one opinion..1967 of june..6 day war of israel.
make the age of the last generation..it is now.40 years..like folks in the wilderness..NOW is the time to enter into the promised land..SO..what do you want? leave now..by death? or enter into the promised land..by hearing the voice of GOD??
so..the years of this..can be..10 more..or 30 more..or..60 more..if that far..i doubt it...humans are slow to change..
in bible the word generation was mention of 40 years 70 years and 100 years.(before noah flood days). we are now at 40 years..yet..jubilee if the 50th year..it wouldn't surprose me if rapture happen..yet..i think we got 30..minus 7 years.we got 23 years.
that is enough time..for serious dasy of noah..days of lots which we are seeing now...enough time to fullfill what scientist said about..rivers drying up too..which fit the final dasy of 7 years tribulation..as well a drought too.
so..we got 10 or 23 years..as the soonest.
yet...GOD acutally waiting on us..to mature..in righteousness...power..authority over evil spirits in others..or aganist us..or family..ect..
middle east is going to calm a bit..or..we've be out of it.
Israel..will be tested to FIND GOD..more seriously..and it's happening now..Israel is the root of our spiritual life..we must pray and protect them.and send $$$ to witness to them..about the messiah had come..ect..for that is fullfilling scriptures too.

hi In Jesus' first coming the adulterous Jews did no longer settle for him; they have been waiting for a warrior MessiahChrist who would desire to return the worldy kingdom lost interior the previous of King David and after that they've been premier a depressing existence. Jesus grew to become into an person-friendly and undesirable guy; he did no longer experience the imaginary warrior hero of the Jews who would desire to return them the lost kingdom of David and his rule. Jesus scolded them of their concepts through fact the adult adult males who come from the heaven (in no way in literal or actual sense) have no longer something to do with the worldly or fabric wealth. Such individuals are religious reformers and that they are chosen by ability of GodAllahYHWH for the social and non secular uplift of a human beings. The Clergy observed in Jesus the guy who antagonistic their lofty positions interior the society and who scolded them for preserving the straightforward guy as downtrodden. certainly the clergy would desire to in contrast to him, so they had to kill him as a faux prophet truly than to settle for him. That grew to become into their cost against Jesus. God helped Jesus and the Jews would desire to no longer kill him on the go against all odds; this grew to become into the punishment for a faux prophet interior the OTBible. God stored his existence against all odds and Jesus after the form off crucifixion, went into self exile and spent relax of his existence in India between the lost Tribes of Israel; and he died there a organic and non violent death and is buried in Mohalla Khanyar, Sirinagar, Kashmir in India. This desires study and should no longer be a concern in this era. Jesus would desire to no longer be killed in his first coming. the 2d Coming isn't literal or actual. It has taken place interior one in each and every of those the Promised Messiah 1835-1908, metaphorically. Many Muslims,Christians and Hindus etc, tried to kill him yet they could no longer prevail. Jesus in his 2d coming did take place yet no one would desire to kill him, so this is not a valid question; now the valid question is how the worldwide is going to settle for him and unfold his non violent teachings which the worldwide lots desires. One can not kill him now; purely you are able to settle for him, help him and serve his venture from GodAllahYHWH. I understand your point of view nonetheless mine isn't comparable to yours. thank you i'm an Ahmadi non violent Muslim
