The difference is people are getting caught up in these happenings because the Internet and journalists can relay them as they are happening. There is no wait time as in the past.....and so it's an allusion in a sense.
Biblical Prophecy surrounds *Israel* that is what signals the Final End Times.....
1948 was that pivotol point...These signs are not weather cycles nor global warming....They are the signs Jesus spoke of in the final days.......
When Jesus said there would be signs in the Sun Moon and Stars, he said it for a reason, so that the elect would not be caught off guard...
Many will be caught off guard, and you can see that just by the posts on this thread.....
