1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 KJV – “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”

Some people take that to mean that since we are seeing so much turmoil, this cannot possibly be the time.

However, I think what is possible is that we go through a bad time like we see now, with wars threatened, and then the antichrist comes along and sets up this peace treaty, and everyone is thrilled because now they have hope for peace and safety, at last.

But they don't realize that the establishment of the peace treaty with Israel will usher in the Great Tribulation where God judges the world with His terrible judgments.
