Someone just always has to be more “spiritual” than everyone else and preach at them about what they think everyone else ought to be doing, don’t they?
Why should we stop trying to read the signs when Jesus Himself gave us the signs and told us to watch and pray?
Sorry, I’m listening to Him over you.
Don’t be sorry, you are doing exactly what I suggested - begin to understand the word of God.
From what I've been able to figure out, we are not to try to predict the day, but to be watchful and aware of what is happening. Like being aware of the time of day or the season. When we see certain events come to pass, we have an awareness of where we are on the Biblical timeline.
Many predicted events have come to pass, Israel being the most obvious, but many others have not come to pass for us to be in the Rapture?
