EVEN THE WORLDLY FOLKS SEE WHAT IS COMING!  This coming fall is the JUBILEE Shemitah.  At Rosh Hashanah this year there is a partial solar eclipse, and at Tabernacles the final VERY rare tetrad lunar eclipse will occur.  Israel is now 67 years old, and the hour is very late in these End Times.  The parable of the fig tree in the Bible tells us that the generation to see Israel's return will see the fulfillment of all end time Bible prophecy, and that includes the Rapture, the 7 year Tribulation Period, and the Second Coming of Israel's long rejected Messiah.

P.S.  Likely sequence of upcoming end time events:

1.  Rapture and stock market collapse.

2.  Sudden destruction as a result of the Rapture itself (cars crashing on freeways, planes falling from the sky, etc) and Israel likely attacking the Iranian nuclear sites (which will set off a big war).

3.  Arrival of the antichrist on the world stage, and he will pull together the global mess and demand world peace.

4.  The antichrist will make the Daniel 9:27 covenant, which will include a Palestinian State in trade for Israel being allowed to start construction of the Third Temple.

5.  The 7 year Tribulation Period begins and Israel begins a 3 1/2 year FALSE peace that will be guaranteed by the antichrist.

6.  As a result of the financial collapse and people mysteriously missing all over the world, the "mark of the beast" system of Revelation 13 will be implemented by the antichrist and the United Nations.  It will become mandatory for people to take a "mark" in their right hand or in their forehead (chip implantation) in order to do economic activity.  Anyone who takes the "mark" will be bound to satan for all eternity (after this life in Hell and later the Lake of Fire).  Those who find Christ during the Tribulation and reject the "mark" will be killed by the antichrist, but will arrive victoriously in Heaven!  Many of these will be "beheaded" (Rev. 20:4).

Well, that is as far as I am going to take you right now early into the Tribulation Period.
