Jesus said no one will know the HOUR, but He also went on to admonish us to know the signs that we might know the SEASON. To me, this makes it crystal clear that we can't know the exact time, but we can indeed know the approximate ERA in which He will return. I believe the re-establishment of Israel as a state in 1948 started the endtime clock ticking. Our current state PERFECTLY matches the prophesied condition. And while others before have thought their time matched it, as well, they were always missing the keystone, the rebirth of Israel.

AMEN!

I believe the end times began at the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. There is nothing in Scripture that states that a state of Israel must be established before the Second Coming (Judgement Day). What connection to Israel does Jesus have? There is none. We do not even know the era in which he will return. We can see the signs and these should make us aware that He can come at any moment. But to know when and where is not know to man and the where is not in Israel but in the heavens.
