Aren't you forgetting about what Jesus said in Mat 24:32
   "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender
   and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

   So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is
   near, even at the door."

This was said in response to the disciples question "what shall be
the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?"
