Since the nation of Isreal reestablished itself in1948, it is much easier to believe we are in the last days. Jesus will come into his kingdom, the one denied to him 2000 years ago. But, before that can happen, the nation had to rise from the ashes and her people had to be gathered from all over the world. We have seen that happen, just a as scripture predicted.
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” - Luke 1: 32
