We live in perilous times, but it is not a time to hate or criticize people, for Jesus will return soon. Instead, we must fervently embrace love and reconciliation. Learn to pray for our enemies and those who despitefully use us. And while we Gentile Christians may often pray, "Come, Lord Jesus, come!" This lesson will show that Christ can only return once Israel recognizes its need for him and repents.

While the world focuses on Israel and the geo-political events in the Middle East, fulfillment of prophecy always has an element of surprise attached. In other words, we cannot interpret prophecy before it happens.
