As others have stated, there are so many powder kegs around the world (middle east, economies, natural disasters, etc), that it won't take much to explode one...which will then cause the others to explode.
But the Lord could rapture us TODAY! I hope He does, too.
Maranatha!
I think Jlutz is correct. Jesus indicated he would come back as in the Days of Noah when people were eating and drinking and giving in marriage. That does not sound like a time of economic chaos but it sounds more like business as ususal for the most part. He also said he would come back as a thief in the night and this indicates it comes as a big surprise to the mases but not to his children. Right now the serious watchers are aware of his soon return but the rest of the world would be utterly shocked if the rapture where to occur now!
But with all this stuff simultaneously occuring on the prophetic front God seems to be holding it back waiting IMHO for the big "tipping point" which I believe will be the rapture. That will cause the house of cards global economy and tenuious situation in the ME to completely implode and usher in the tribulation. Of course there could be any number of tipping points but the rapture is certainly a prime candidtate.
Jesus is coming now at "Any Moment"! Are you ready?
Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem. Amen.
