Beautiful for Situation, the Joy of the Whole Earth, is Mount Zion
There is only one place in the world that God has declared as holy, and that's Mount Zion and the land of Israel. The prophet Isaiah wrote this - "Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously." Isaiah 24:23. There is only one people that are God's "chosen people", and they are the Jews. "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people." Isaiah 51:16. And there is one main event in bible prophecy that had to happen to usher in the time that the bible calls the "Last Days", or the "time of Jacob's trouble", and that event happened on May 14, 1948.
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, andputteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Matthew 24:32-34
This is what's known as the Fig Tree Prophecy.
The Parable of the Fig Tree
The Apostles came to Jesus and asked Him about the end of the world, and how would people living then know it was happening. It went like this:
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24: 2-6

The entire biblical scene is an insult to one's intelligence. I live to see the day when religionists pay as much attention to studying the present world around them as they do to supposed events of thousands of years ago.

Thank you for a timely post.
We may not know the exact moment that the Tribulation will begin, but it seems close. The Jews have returned to their God given land. Jews that are living in Europe are being invited to come home after the terrorist attacks. I suspect that after obama lets Iran become a nuclear power and enters into a treaty with them that the Jews in the USA will see it's time to go home. How long after that till the UN that "great force for freedom, individual liberty, and peace" enters into a peace treaty with Israel?

You stupid American so called Christian zionists have caused enough damage to the world and not one of your end times prophecies have come true since you appeared on the scene.

I don't expect a serious conversation with you given all the vitriol you spew. So in the future please direct your rants elsewhere.

How exactly did these Christians cause damage?
The verse mentioned seems like it was possibly answered.

How exactly did these Christians cause damage?
These were the ones that shouted support for the Iraq war the loudest - they are the ones now calling for bombing of Iran and of Syria and God knows what else.
