We have the Scriptures and the prophecy contained therein. Events in the Middle East always trigger thoughts about "are we there now?" We should recognize that the epic battles that have been fought in or around what is now Israel, and particularly Jerusalem, the seat of God's involvement with mankind, have occurred several times since Christ lived on the earth.
We have had wars galore in the Middle East and each time people assume we are in the 'End Times.'
Hey, the facts are we don't know the day or the hour. We must always be ready for the Rapture and the return of Christ.
Here is the reality in the Scriptures:
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be ... Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh ... (Mat. 24:36-51)"
