From Dave

WHAT NEXT?
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready

Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind
Larry Norman

Ecclesiastes 1:10 NAS95  Is there anything of which one might say, "See this, it is new"? Already it has existed for ages which were before us.

The Wise Man warned , centuries ago, that we fail to learn from the past and tend to look at now as though it has no relation to the past experiences of this world. Truly, ‘what has come round has been round!’
Most of my life has been trampled by conflict and disaster around the world. Many have spoken and written about Antichrist and Apocalypse as being in their ‘now’.  They have all been wrong!
BIBLE PROPHECY
There many things happening that resemble prophecy in Scripture. The mistake is to say that this now is that which was prophesied. The incarnation of Jesus, the Messiah, was prophesied. Nothing that happened in the world of war and disaster and Roman occupation could stop what God had promised. Jesus was born at ‘just the right time”.
In the New Testament there are prophecies. These mention signs and events but they all centre on the Return of Jesus the King. Paul focuses on how Christ’s Return will impact the Church. Others, like Peter and John, focus on how Christ’s Return will impact Israel and the World.
BE WATCHFUL
The Lord Jesus gave information about world events that keep us alert about His Return. He does not invite us to speculate about particular people or nations or wars or disasters. It may be that over interest in details in prophecy forget that every revelation is meant to bring us to the Hope of all people – Jesus the King of kings They are intended to bring us to see that we are sinners in need of a Saviour. Its purpose is to bring us to repentance, while we can.  
Matthew 24:42 NIV  "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
HIS DAY
It may profit a little to learn about Times, Temples, or Tribulations. However, the vital thing is to stay looking up to Jesus the Messiah. God has determined that He will be glorified on earth, in this world. Every knee will bow, every tongue confess that He is Lord. Nothing you hear about world events or what someone might want to say that basically teaches ‘He can’t come back yet’ can prevent what God has spoken. Nothing can prevent the next great fulfilment of Bible prophecy. Jesus will return to this world. He will have His Day. He will save and He will judge. We are called to be ready for Him.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand:
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
