Is that because we have 30 more years of history behind us and nothing was realized back then?
The rebirth of Israel is the key. All of the signs that Jesus mentioned about his return in Matthew 24 hinge on the Jews being in Jerusalem (not Al Quds). Jesus said that the generation that sees these signs will not pass away until ALL the Matthew 24 prophesies are fulfilled (including Jerusalem surrounded by armies and Jesus Christ’s return to rule and reign from Jerusalem). We are getting closer by the day!
