Signs are for our Times

No Christian even as late as the year 1900 (even in America!) could ever have envisioned this day.  Only the hardiest of the faithful as of 1950 might have had eyeballs capable of such reach.  None of those having pioneered and laid the groundwork in their respective fields, could ever have imagined the need for the vision of the likes of upstarts Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.  Yet, where would we be today without them?  To some degree, their work was paramount to the accomplishment of the biblical signs, if in no other way than that theirs opened up new ways and avenues into the world of computers for whole new generation of thinkers, geeks and tinkerers, that would not have been, had they not been.  With those fresh minds came fresh ideas, most instrumental in the fomenting and fitting together of all the new pieces essential to the fabrication of the path leading to God’s Apocalypse.  Amazingly, many in the flock, even in light of the gravity of their contributions and the attachment of myriads of ramifications thereof—manifested daily, playing constantly across the stage of life—still do not see; they just, don’t quite get it.  The Apocalypse…is upon us—all of its main ingredients are in place; the die is cast, the type is set (yet, many a Bible tottin’, church going person…is not saved!)—all that is needful is a few finishing touches (regardless of when God actually decides to give the final “nod”, signaling, “it’s time.  Bring the church home.  Pull the plug!  Open the flood gates”!).  From this vantage point, one can virtually see the finish—though it is still at best a kind of “fuzzy logic”, at the end of a once completely darkened tunnel, one that grows ever brighter, with each setting sun.  Although there are essentially no scriptures left to be fulfilled before the Lord Jesus’ invisible return to affect the Rapture (the “catching-up”) of His church prior to this awful, dreadful, closing chapter in the life of mankind as we know it (1 Thessalonians 4) and, although all or at the very least most all of the technological building blocks needed to facilitate those remaining, and leading over the threshold into this period are in place, there are, no less, a few scriptures that await the realization of the aforesaid ‘technological building-blocks’ and that must be fulfilled, before the Apocalypse can take place.  All that is necessary from here is a kind of rounding out of rough edges, topped by a supplement of refinement (perhaps), followed up with the final “assembly”.  Consider these scriptures:
