"Then in all seriousness, b-d, what "signs of the times" are you expecting to see manifest"
I don't expect any signs. I believe they are for the believing remnant of Israel, not the church. We are told to be ready for at any time He can come. That, I believe, is harder than reading "tea leaves". I don't think any one but god can keep score. He just let's us know the final score. He Wins and we are part of the victory parade.
We accept the Resurrection: we don't need no stinking signs
