Is this a clue?
 
 
When speaking about Israel, Jesus refers to Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria basically as representing Israel (the Jewish people).
 
Right now, Israel is discussing giving away her Biblical lands of Judea and Samaria (as well as parts of Jerusalem).
 
The preaching of the gospel as a witness to the nations correlate in these Matthew and Acts verses and Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria are referred to. Also, the "end will come" is associated with the preaching of the gospel as a witness to the nations.
 
So, the fact that Israel very likely may soon try to give away part of Jerusalem and all of Judea and Samaria may be pertinent according to these Scriptures.
 
 
 
Matthew 24:18
