Many prophecy experts agree that we are indeed living in the season of the Lord’s soon return. And the current convergence of signs means that we are the generation of which Jesus speaks. The generation that will not pass away before all these things take place. The fig tree is blooming, and Jesus is standing at the gate. Are you ready for His return?
