By the way, regarding your forecast ... don’t forget Matthew 24:36.
I’m not pinning down a time, but I am certainly pinning down the “signs of the time”. In the same manner as those people in Jesus’ day were held responsible to know that the time of their visitation was at hand, we are going to be held responsible for knowing the time of our visitation is at hand.
Luke 19:41-44
41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,
42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,
44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Matthew 24:32-34
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!
34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
We will NOT be given any special sign like the Pharisees and Saddicees asked for - but we will be expected to recognize the “signs of the times” ...
Matthew 16:1-4
1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’;
3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.
The SIGNS OF THE TIMES is now for this generation!

If only you knew what that statement meant.
