I think we need to keep an open mind regarding the specific signs considering they are as clear as mud. What we’ve been told will happen based upon the biblical scholars/pastors/church tradition, could be very wrong. Including when the rapture occurs. Remember, though I and many others agree the timing ‘looks right’, ‘we see in part’ & ‘prophecy’ in part. Back in Jesus’ day, they all ‘knew’ the signs to look for and about when to look for. The ‘church’ was divided. They had 3 major ‘sects’/groups all arguing as to who was correct……… and almost EVERYONE missed it! They expected a warrior to come slay all of Israel’s enemies! Instead they got the sacrificial lamb, who conquered death so they might live!!! So, what I’m saying is: Yes, we should watch for signs, but don’t be dogmatic in how those events look or unfold. Continuously pray for guidance and wisdoms throughout this time, as well as strength to endure the percussion (again, do be dogmatic on what happens when). Don’t let your oil run out.
With respect, if things are “clear as mud” for you or anyone reading the Bible, the answer is in the Bible and further study is needed. Some are trained to teach and can illuminate the facts, and the Spirit will back them up and verify what is taught, but this in no way means all will accept as some are dead set on an agnostic sort of approach as if we “can’t possibly know it all,” but we have the literal WORD of God and those gifted to teach by His Spirit.
Where do you think the End Time Servant comes into play in the timeline? The one from Malachi and who is more detailed in Isaiah?
Are you talking about Malachi 3 and Isaiah 53? If so, those both are referring to Jesus Christ..
