The Rapture is most definitely approaching, followed by the appearance of the antichrist to make the Daniel 9:27 covenant, which will begin the 7 year Tribulation.   I believe that part of that covenant will be the formation of a Palestinian State (very bad-----dividing God's land of israel!) in trade for Israel's right to build the Third Temple, which must be completed by the middle of the 7 year Tribulation (3 1/2 years in) for the antichrist to go into the Temple and desecrate it.

P.S.   Pack light for the Rapture as I hear the weather in Heaven is splendid!
