We have no idea of when He is coming. The only non-heavenly person that would have a close idea would probably be the devil. So when you begin to see the devil gear up his plan you can guess that the end is getting very close. Or the time is near. The season is near.
Seasons are short.
We have 4 seasons. If you figure that this world is about 6000 years old, and I believe that. From Creation to the Flood. From Flood to David. I want to move the hands of this clock.
