As for myself as I've studied biblical prophecy for many years I take that sign in the skies on that date to be a marker for a huge geo-political alignment that will alter everything that currently now exists and will be touching on several major items.
It may even be the Miry Clay of Daniel 2 making their public appearance (aka the long awaited UFO disclosure) as their presence is needed for the end-times persecution of the saints and the NWO religion. The Church is not prepared to handle it if it was to happen and there are less than a handful of good biblical teachers who have a good grasp of the subject. Chuck Missler is the best teacher that has a thorough understand of it and he explains it very well.
Many signs and wonders can be fulfilled through technology alone.
No, I don’t think the 23rd will be the Rapture, but I do think it’s amazing how things are falling in place, such as 200 thousand thousand serpents / crossing the dried up Euprhates [which is not dry currently] / how the serpents and their weapons sound a like modern weaponry.
