In the same passage where Christ says we won’t know the
DAY NOR THE HOUR
HE chides the Pharisees for being able to tell the weather but not the seasons.
Perhaps we’ll know the season or the year?
In any case . . . I’m convinced that these
ARE THE END TIMES with Israel again as a nation in 1948 or recapturing Jerusalem in 1967.
I believe that at least one person will be alive to see Christ return again who was alive at the time of one of those events.

I believe the globalists are deliberately destroying the USA in order to make establishing the global government easier.
The Rise of Antichrist by the Counterfeit Work of Satan (2 Thess. 2:9-10)
In these verses we actually see the second effect and detail regarding the man of lawlessness. The first was his unveiling, but this is quickly countered by the promise of his destruction by the manifestation of the parousia of Christ at His advent to earth. Now another detail is given, namely, the source of the lawless ones coming (parousia) and deceptive working in the world. It will be by Satans working. Literally, whose coming is in accordance with a working of Satan. This answers the question, Why and how will the lawless one be able to so quickly deceive the world into following him to the point they even worship him? As it was also revealed to John in Rev. 13, it is because he is Satans man; he is Satan-inspired, enabled, and indwelt, and evidently, the world will understand this and wont care.
And the whole world followed the beast in amazement; they worshiped the dragon because he had given ruling authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast too, saying: Who is like the beast? and Who is able to make war against him? The beast was given a mouth speaking proud words and blasphemies, and he was permitted to exercise ruling authority for forty-two months. So the beast opened his mouth to blaspheme against Godto blaspheme both his name and his dwelling place, that is, those who dwell in heaven. The beast was permitted to go to war against the saints and conquer them. He was given ruling authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation, and all those who live on the earth will worship the beast, everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was killed. If anyone has an ear, he had better hear! Rev. 13:3-9.
