FH, you said,
'Bible prophecy states the end-times will occur within one generation of the rebirth of Israel. Judging by whether God considers 1948 or 1967 as the rebirth date, and what He considers a generation (40, 45, 50 or 70 years) you can see it is rapidly approaching.'
Could you please help and give me the verse(s) on which you base that? THANK YOU!

Hi Jocko,
The fig tree prophecy is Matthew 24:32. You have to read the whole chapter to get the context of the line. The fig tree is symbolic of Israel. Here is a good page on it:

I do question if Israel is "reborn" without its temple. So has the clock started yet ?
The web is full of "enthusiastic" Christian sites that say it has, but I think they see what they want to see. Does not mean they are wrong, but it does mean they are biased.
I consider myself a Christ follower. I read his words, and follow Him. Christ gave us the parable, so it will be fulfilled PERIOD. But even He did not the exact day and time.
I don't know where you stand in Christ, so I will warn you to take it slow with the end times prophecies. The text is downright frightening for unbelievers.
