The apostles' generation saw wars and rumors of wars too... how near did it mean for them when they saw the signs? Was Jesus telling them the signs of wars and rumors of wars that they would see were a sign that the end of the age was near for them?
And what do you mean by near?
The same thing the apostles meant when they said it was near to them?
or do you mean something different?
Good post.
One just has to put themselves in front of Jesus during the discourse............

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido on Tuesday called for a military uprising to oust President Nicolas Maduro and violence broke out at anti-government protests as the country hit a new crisis point after years of political and economic chaos.
Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on Tuesday denied there was a military coup underway to oust President Nicolas Maduro and accused opposition leader Juan Guaido of operating under orders from Washington.
It's very interesting that this time frame occurs right around Pentecost. Many believe that the feast of Pentecost is the only appointed time that deals with the Church, and acts as bookends of the church age. There's also some discrepancies as to which Jewish calendar is correct. However, the Torah Calendar shows that Israel became a nation (back in 1948) right around or on Pentecost, and shows Pentecost being next month in May, rather than June. It's also speculated that this peace deal initiates the Great Tribulation and final week of Daniel. No one knows for sure what will happen, but it's worth keeping an eye on for sure.The United States will reveal its long-awaited Middle East peace plan after the holy month of Ramadan ends in early June, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner said during a media forum on Tuesday.

Rapture Index: 178 Change from last update:-1
Updated: Apr 29, 2019
You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer. The higher the number, the faster we're moving towards the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture.

Venezuela Supreme Court in exile requested the international community to apply the R2P and stop the genocide in Venezuela through an international military coalition on a peace mission.
Republican congressman Mario Diaz-Balart said he believes Vladimir Putin's hidden nukes are now a direct threat to the "national security" of the United States.
The commander of U.S. forces in Latin America told Congress Wednesday that the military is developing plans to be immediately ready for any contingency if Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó ousts dictator Nicolás Maduro from power.
This clearly shows me that Russia has personal interests for keeping Maduro in power. All of this could have been over, but Russia decided to intervene.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed Tuesday that embattled Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was preparing to leave the country for Cuba, but was talked out of it by Russia.
WASHINGTON - Safety regulators are requiring that any U.S. airline flights over Venezuela remain at least 26,000 feet high, saying that the roiling political crisis in the country increases an "inadvertent risk" to planes.
The Federal Aviation Administration emergency notice says pilots in Venezuela or its airspace should leave within 48 hours if they can do so safely.
MADRID, SPAIN — Russian military personnel flying into Venezuela in recent weeks were likely sent to ensure the nation's sophisticated S-300 surface-to-air missiles remain a credible deterrent to any U.S. military action against the government of socialist President Nicolas Maduro, according to defense analysts in Latin America, the U.S. and Russia.
I believe this is regarding the situation in Venezuela.MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov may meet U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on May 6 in Finland, RIA news agency reported on Thursday citing a Russian official.
Aux source: China's furtive underwater missiles deter U.S.HONG KONG - China is making significant advances toward achieving a more reliable second-strike nuclear capability, bolstering its deterrence against an attack on its land-based nuclear weapons, Reuters reveals today in a special report.
Rocket sirens went off in Nahal Oz near the Gaza Strip on Thursday morning.
Early in the day, the Israeli Air Force carried out a series of air strikes north of the Gaza Strip. In a statement to the press, the IDF spokesperson said that "Hamas bears full responsibility for all that is taking place in the Gaza Strip, as well as all things coming out of it."
A small skirmish erupted yesterday between the Gaza factions and Israel, as the Jewish people were about to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day. The factions have been launching IED and incendiary balloons into Israel (which caused a major fire upon impact), and threatened to attack the upcoming Eurovision event. Israel responded by launching strikes into Gaza, and Gaza retaliated with rockets. The uptick was short-lived, and Egypt is once again trying to mediate a ceasefire.Senior Islamic Jihad member Ziad Nakhala warned Israel that if it carries out assassinations of its leaders, "We will hit large cities in retaliation," according to a report in Ynet News.
Nakhala's comments came after the IDF revealed the identity of the organization's northern wing, in a bid to deter him from trying to commit terror attacks.
Amid growing fears of the collapse of the recent ceasefire understandings between the Palestinian groups in the Gaza and Israel, the Egyptians have summoned Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders to Cairo for urgent talks on ways to avert a military confrontation with Israel.
The Earth's north magnetic pole has been moving from its old location in Northern Canada towards Siberia. And there is a growing concern among scientists that the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field could someday cause its north and south poles to flip. And that could lead to global chaos.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed Thursday his Iran-backed terror group would “annihilate and destroy” the Israeli military if the latter entered Lebanon in a future war.
Israel wants a war? Let it go to war. The Israeli units and brigades that dare to enter southern Lebanon will be annihilated and destroyed on live television before the whole world,” he said, according to multiple media reports in Israel and Lebanon."
The dilemma is complex. On the one hand, occupation of the Gaza Strip and the removal of Hamas are possible; not without a price, but the IDF is a very strong army and is up to the task. However, our history has proven that occupation of a territory in order to eradicate hostile entities has not led to moderate regimes and has forced our continued presence for many years. On the other hand, the option of recognizing the legitimacy of Hamas as a partner in dialogue and for entering into negotiations in order to create new conditions in the field, has so far been inconceivable.
We can no longer allow ourselves to hesitate. Our room to maneuver is diminishing and time is working against us.
Abbas demanded that Russia intervene with Israel to halt the deductions, and warned that the PA was facing a sharp financial crisis as a result of the Israeli measure, a PA official told The Jerusalem Post.

Sometime next month, the United States will unveil the peace plan it has been working on amid great hype, hope and attention ever since President Donald Trump moved into the Oval Office in 2017.
So why doesn’t he decide? Because indecision is sometimes easier than decision. Having to decide what to do with the Palestinians will determine Netanyahu’s legacy forever. Why do something if there is no reason to? This recent election season was a case example – no party spoke about “peace” or gave a detailed vision of how the conflict with the Palestinians could be resolved.
WASHINGTON - White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said on Thursday he hopes Israel will take a hard look at President Donald Trump's upcoming Middle East peace proposal before proceeding with any plan to annex West Bank settlements.

Rapture Index - Latest activity indicators of when the Rapture might occur.
End Time News, Events, Prophecy & Doctrine of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church will occur when Jesus returns to earth right before the seven-year Tribulation. All those who are not ready will be left behind. This website is the most complete resource for understanding end times prophecies and news relating to the last days. You will find current news reports, articles, and biblically-based information with the emphasis on prophecy. For those who remain and must endure the Tribulation, we have information on how to become Tribulation saints. RaptureReady.com features articles from prophetic end times writers that explain what will happen during the Tribulation, as well as articles on a variety of topics related to the books in the Bible. Our ultimate goal is to teach visitors about the saving grace that comes when you allow Jesus Christ to become your personal Savior.
The Rapture Index has two functions: one is to factor together a number of related end time components into a cohesive indicator, and the other is to standardize those components to eliminate the wide variance that currently exists with prophecy reporting.
The Rapture Index is by no means meant to predict the rapture, however, the index is designed to measure the type of activity that could act as a precursor to the rapture.
You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer. The higher the number, the faster we're moving towards the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture.

Futurism is less boring and more exciting than Preterism/Amill/Idealism I suppose.......If the rapture is getting closer, more and more imminent with each passing day, how could the most recent change be a negative 1?
Again, if the all-time High was 4 years ago, does that mean the rapture is further away now than it was then?
