Mr. Mark Kagan, speaking at one of the Advent Testimony meetings, said that when on a visit to Palestine he & some other Christians gathered together in an upper room within the city wall of Jerusalem, to remember Christ's sacrifice & death.
After the meeting was over, he & another friend went to the
Mount of Olives; and as they passed along they caught up a Jew who said that he
also was going to the Mount of Olives.
"We orthodox Jews," he said, "as we watch the
things that are happening in the world, cannot come to any other conclusion
than that the Messiah's coming must be near at hand. On that day His feet will
stand on the Mount of Olives, and I am going there every day that I may be
ready to give Him a welcome."
Seeing that Israel is making such preparations for His
coming, what is the Church doing?

“Now, a crown is waiting for me. I will get that crown for
being right with God. The Lord is the judge who judges rightly, and he will
give me the crown on that Day. He will give that crown not only to me but to
all those who have waited with love for him to come again.” – Paul (2 Tim 4:8
ICB).
“The apostolic church thought more about the Second Coming
of Jesus Christ than about death and heaven.” - Alexander MacLaren.
