With how insane the world has become over the years, and the magnitude of such insanity, my personal opinion, I think we are living on borrowed time. The moral foundation of the world in general has become so shattered, that it is already crumbling and falling apart in many places. Let's face it, the moral foundation of the world can no longer support a structure.
I'm going to agree, and before I read this, I was going to say that, "the math works," for the Lord to return this year or soon--
I meant it symbolically--
the "math" does work in many ways-- math meaning signs, world events, scriptures--
While I try to remember to pray everyday for more time, for myself or on a greater scale, I believe it is safe to say, I would also not be surprised if major events went down, or began, or if I was not here next year, or all of this year, taking it one year at a time thereafter.
At the same time, I believe it is possible, that one year at a time, the Church of Christian believers will continue to prepare for the Lord's return, which is what we are taught to do anyway in the Bible by Jesus and all the Apostles-- prophets, and Old and New Testament.
This should stay in the News section-- and we could add events from the news of 2017 or 2018, forthcoming--
