Don't you "think" that satan wants people to not know by the signs Jesus named in Matthew that Jesus is at the door ready to return and that people get ready to meet Jesus?? I think satan would love to see people thinking the return of Jesus is many years off and they not even be concerned as they live in sin.

And that sadly is your opinion and you will not consider any other options.All the signs that Jesus says we would see just before His return are here today!! So get ready to meet Jesus and give those around you warning so that they too can be ready and not sleeping as so many are!!!
ya, can't think of a better fulfillment of "thief in the night" than not understanding that. "This is the maximum level of being with Me" should at least be contemplated imo.I think that people who get caught up in thinking, wondering and studying things about His return...miss the opportunity to walk and talk with Him in the here and now....We can be with Him every moment of the day in our hearts. We can miss these wonderful cherished moments if we are so busy wondering about if and when.
Now is the time...today is the day...don't over look today.

Let me answer my own question,NONE!!!!!!!
imo Esau denying his birthright is also a message here. I've even heard rapturists go as far as to say that trashing the planet is ok because Jesus is going to make us a new one, lol. yikesI think that people who get caught up in thinking, wondering and studying things about His return...miss the opportunity to walk and talk with Him in the here and now....We can be with Him every moment of the day in our hearts.
