Such will also be true of His 2nd return. We have 2 specific events to help us know the time, specifically the year and the month. First, the covenant confirmed between "He" (the Beast in Revelation) and Israel will signify the start of the final week of years, Daniel's 70th week allotted for Israel. Second, in the middle of this week of 7 years, "He" will end sacrifices and setup the "abomination of desolation" on a wing of the Temple. (Dan 9.27, 2 Thess 2.4, Matt 24.15)

Thanks, Ohio. There's so much going on in the world today, we even got a "sign in heaven" this week...maybe...or not.
My takeaway of the state of the union is that if you're looking to the Federal Government, any government, to take care of you and/or protect you, your hopes are seriously misplaced. God is still trying to get our attention. That's why he told us "be not deceived".
Thanks again--
