We are witnessing the fulfillment of Zechariah 14:2.
Everything falling into place so quickly now....
The pace certainly seems to be picking up . . . just in the UFO arena alone.
Zechariah 14:2
For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem 3 to wage war; the city will be taken, its houses plundered, and the women raped. Then half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be taken away.

Grammatically speaking, for the continuous present to be accurate, Jerusalem would currently be besieged, its houses currently plundered, and their women currently raped, and the armies would currently be in the process of exiling half of the city.
Thus, it is not accurate to say “we are witnessing the fulfillment of Zechariah 14:2”, because Zechariah 14:2 gives multiple details, all of which must be fulfilled before the verse itself may be considered to be fulfilled.
Of course, Zechariah 14:2 must also be fulfilled in line with the rest of Zechariah 14. Thus, we will know that Zechariah 14:2 has been fulfilled when 14:1-21 have been fulfilled, and not before.
We know the dollar continues to fall and countries are not happy...trade wars are in the wind and the G-20/IMF/World Bank etc. failed to establish what they had stated they would and instead kicked the can down the road. Additionally many countries are fast on the move positioning themsleves... Governments see what is coming and are transferring their wealth to gold and silver. And our FED just keeps on proping things up with quanitive Easing and printing more money in hopes our economy doesn't collapse. Also various natural disasters, which normally would not be a drain on food and medicine reserves are quickly being exhausted as donations etc. have lessened.
Not to sound morbid but things are not going to get better real soon. We know there will be a falling away from supporting Israel...but I did not want to see this in my lifetime! It truly is very distressing to see this. I watched a debate on the BBC tonight...the anger and tension in the room was felt even thru the TV to any listening or watching. Palestinians are so hateful and insistent they are victims of Israel...the victim card gets played at every turn...they will never stop their hate regardless of any talks.
Hearing the Bishops speak as they did was just another piece in the puzzle drawing closer to the bigger picture we know will come. Who would have guessed the world stage would be moving at the pace it is now...but then ‘money’ and the power it welds has always been a motivator to turn the tides....
