Agreed.
Plus there's the talk of a peace plan being worked out that would be introduced after ramadan.
Some verses to keep in mind.... Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
The most common explanation of these verses by Bible scholars is that the fig tree is Israel and when 'the begins to bud', that is referring to its formation as a nation i.e. May 14,1948. So... the question is, how long exactly is a 'generation'? If 70 years, we are there right now... the 71 year starts in about 3 weeks....But Christ does add that no one knows except the Father.
