The problem with this and your other thread Louie is that Christ did give the actual incident and timing for the fleeing of Judaea:

Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Luke 21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

We know that Jerusalem was destroyed after it was "compassed with armies" during the war of 66-70AD - that was the time to flee.

Therefore this was fulfilled for the time was at hand.
I think you meant to post this in my other thread "Head of household".
I will copy/paste this and answer there.

Yes I know they have been occurring since the 1st century, and before; that's why I said to look for "increasing" and "anomalies".
3/4 of our insect population disappearing from off the earth in the last 30 years has not happened before.
Global temperatures at our current levels have not been seen since before man was on the earth.
Yes , the current events indicate the end of this world is nearing , in the 1st century the knowledge not yet developing so high , and so many spiritual meaning of His words not yet opened in that time , but now they almost being opened well.



Dan12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand

Jer23:20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

Called the end of the age and it comes with fire, the melting of the elements with fervent heat, the ripping wide open of the heavens and then they are torched and God will sweep the planet with the besom of destruction and make a MAN (SINGULAR) more precious than fine gold.........tis the destiny of the planet....NOTHING can change it or stop it or put it off.....other than being right/saved with God.....anything less = kiss your butt goodbye!!

Another sign about the coming worst of times I believe is the current world wide refugee crises, which is the largest in recorded history.
It's certainly the worst of times for those tens of millions of peoples.

The 2015 link below shows the world's oceans having absorbed considerably more heat that previous estimates.
I was looking for your other note on the housetop thread that looked pretty good about Luke 17 replacing the abomination with the "days of Lot" but found this one instead. So i think the 42 months of Revelation 13 have already began in 2015 but most people didn't notice it. The falling away, the man of sin and things like the Abomination and holy place are not what the prophecy writers told us they would be. It's like a tribulation of the Matrix so far where people are walking around like everything is normal, but it's not. The signs have been subtle so far, but i doubt that it's going to last for too much longer.

Two weekends ago i had some fun taking with the seven heads of the composite beast on a "religious" forum. There were some smart atheists and pagans but i think i had them frightened that we're at the end of days right now. When people get scared they get mad and then delete my posts. It was over the North Sentinel Island story with John Chau. On November 11 we had that strange seismic wave that ran around the globe in 20 minutes, and then on November 14 John Chau proclaimed the Gospel to the ends of the earth. And then shall the end come.

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.​
“God, I thank you for choosing me, before I was even yet formed in my mother’s womb, to be Your messenger of Your Good news to the people of North Sentinel Island.” - John Chau​

Time can be spent on googling North Sentinel Island.

Sentinel
1. a person or thing that watches or stands as if watching.
2. a soldier stationed as a guard to challenge all comers and prevent a surprise attack: to stand sentinel.



The Sentinelese- perhaps the most isolated people in the world!

https://blog.godreports.com/2018/11...void-harming-tribe-battled-with-his-emotions/

There's lots of stories going back to even the Marco Polo days where he made a comment about them.

From National Geographic:

"The unique situation of the Sentinelese—as the only uncontacted tribe in the world inhabiting their own island—makes them “exceptionally vulnerable”​

I posted the similar notes to these on a couple of other forums. One of the forums is a "religious" forum, but it's not Christian, anyone can post there. There's lots of Atheists, Satanists and Pagans, Bahais, Eastern mystics, Muslims, you name it. A couple Saturdays ago it was very busy. It was spooky. The thread went from 177 views to 1362 in 36 hours.

I think that i had some of them concerned that this IS an end of the world indicator. They were smart people. They certainly did get agitated. When people get scared, they get mad and the moderators started deleting my posts. And there are some mean spirited people on that forum. Very disrespectful to the young man who was killed. It was very busy. https://www.religiousforums.com/threads/american-christian-missionary-killed-by-tribespeople.215055/

And then a weird thing happened and i started believing it too. Look up the history of North Sentinel Island. Marco Polo and the British were making comments about NOT visiting the natives there. Those guys come out to kill visitors every time. One time in 2006 two fishermen fell asleep in their boat, the anchor slipped in the night and when they drifted into that shore they woke up as they were being macheted to death.

Even if you google the ten most remote places on earth, they are still places that people can travel to and bring a Bible along. Or they are places where communication signals can reach, and the Good News of the Gospel can be delivered to people with TV or radio. But not North Sentinel Island. They are the last humans left on the planet who remain totally isolated from modern civilization. And now John Chau delivered his waterproof Bible to them.

Another way to look at it is, if John DIDN'T go to North Sentinel, it could NOT be said that the Gospel had been proclaimed everywhere. There would always be someone that could say for example: "well, they didn't get to Sentenal island yet, the end can't come yet"".

John Chau wrote describing a man wearing a white crown possibly made of flowers taking a “leadership stance” by standing atop the tallest coral rock on the beach.

The man yelled, and John responded, singing some worship songs and yelling back something in Xhosa, a language he apparently knew a few words of from when he coached soccer in South Africa a few years ago.

“They would often fall silent after this,” he wrote. Other efforts to communicate with tribe members ended with their bursting out in laughter.​
The people on that island, like the Jews in the first century, did not recognize the time of their visitation. But it was a technical success, the Word was delivered to them. And the messenger paid a high price for it's delivery.
“I hollered, ‘My name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you,’ ” he wrote in his journal. One of the juveniles shot at him with an arrow, which pierced his waterproof Bible, he wrote.​
I find that this comes at an uncanny time. My interest in this story is not a casual one. It looks like just another one of too many coincidences. I wonder now if the Lord did not raise John Chau up, and these Sentinelese also to be vessels in the fulfillment of scripture in these last days.

I know there are other isolated tribes in places like South America, but not like these guys. The south American ones are still on the same land mass. These Sentinelese are notoriously remote. The MOST remote.

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come. - Matthew 24:14
"And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere--in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." - Acts 1:8
And now the Gospel has reached to "the ends of the Earth".​

The disciples continue their witnessing through their written word which can be found in the water proof Bibles of today.

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed.
It just says that this Gospel will be PROCLAIMED. It doesn't say that it will be accepted or realized or even understood.

And then shall the end come.

The world's last isolated humans: Rare footage captures members of the hostile island tribe who shun aid and KILL visitors on sight
  • The indigenous tribe has lived on North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean for an estimated 60,000 years
  • Rare footage has been compiled of the few times outsiders have attempted to contact them since the 1960s
  • Islanders have been known to fire arrows or toss stones at low-flying aircraft on reconnaissance missions
  • In 2006, two illegal fisherman were killed by the Sentinelese for drawing too close to their shores
  • India's government has given up on making contact with the islanders and established a ban on visiting there

The 2015 link below shows the world's oceans having absorbed considerably more heat that previous estimates.
According to how i understand it, the 42 months of Revelation 13 began in the summer of 2015. The man of sin took his seat and we are living in the days of the Abomination where the saints will be given into it's hand.

"Reports of faithful being hung on crosses over a fire and others being crushed under a steamroller.

"Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.​

Christian persecution reached record high in 2015, report says.

(CNN) Last year was the most violent for Christians in modern history, rising to "a level akin to ethnic cleansing," according to a new report by Open Doors USA, a watchdog group that advocates for Christians.

In total, the survey found that more than 7,100 Christians were killed in 2015 for "faith-related reasons," up 3,000 from the previous year, according to the group's analysis of media reports and other public information as well as external experts. Open Door's report is independently audited by theInternational Institute of Religious Freedom.

https://www.cnn.com/2016/01/17/world/christian-persecution-2015/index.html

PERSECUTED & FORGOTTEN? – A REPORT ON CHRISTIANS OPPRESSED FOR THEIR FAITH 2015-2017

IN TERMS OF the numbers of people involved, the gravity of the crimes committed and their impact, it is clear that the persecution of Christians is today worse than at any time in history. Not only are Christians more persecuted than any other faith group, but ever-increasing numbers are experiencing the very worst forms of persecution.

Additional findings of the Report include:
  • In Iraq, the exodus of Christians is so severe that one of the world’s oldest churches is on course to all but disappear within three years unless there is dramatic change for the better.
  • This same exodus is threatening the survival of Christianity in parts of Syria including Aleppo, formerly home to one of the largest Christian communities in the whole of the Middle East.
  • ISIS and other Islamist militant groups have committed genocide in Syria and Iraq.
  • Governments in the West and the UN failed to offer Christians in countries such as Iraq and Syria the emergency help they needed as genocide got underway. If Christian organizations and other institutions had not filled the gap, the Christian presence could already have disappeared in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East.
  • The defeat of ISIS and other Islamists in major strongholds of the Middle East offers the last hope of recovery for Christian groups threatened with extinction. Many would not survive another similar violent attack.
  • ISIS affiliate Boko Haram has carried out genocide against Christians in northern Nigeria.
  • Christians have suffered increased violence and oppression as a result of a rise in religious nationalism. In India, for example, persecution has risen sharply since the 2014 rise to power of the right-wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
  • In worst-offending North Korea, “unspeakable atrocities” against Christians include enforced starvation, abortion and reports of faithful being hung on crosses over a fire and others being crushed under a steamroller.

For me it's YOUTUBE,

I haven't read the National Enquirer since i was a kid.

That would be like getting the news from dusty old Josephus.

A bit on the stale side.
