Doves,
 
Renee's post on the abomination taking place when O entered the church of the nativity and just stood there makes sense to me.  If you think about it, all the signs are here except the rebuilt temple.  And the fortress description of the church of the nativity lines up perfectly with scripture.
 
Looking at Mark 13 where the abomination of desolation is referenced in verse 11, I noticed something further in that chapter.  Verse 24 - "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together the elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of earth to the uttermost part of heaven."
 
The sun darkened... there's a solar eclipse on May 10, 2013 - an annular eclipse where the sun appears in a bright ring around the moon.
 
The moon shall not give her light... there's a partial lunar eclipse on April 25, 2013.  (moongiant.com)
 
And the stars of heaven shall fall... the asteroid and meteorites keep falling to the earth lately.
 
The powers of heaven shaken... some disaster about to happen.
 
Then the description of the rapture.
 
Good post Renee!
 
Come quickly Lord Jesus!
