   Jesus told his followers to be watchful and ready because it would come at an “hour” that they “did not think to be it”. (Matt. 24:44 Luke 12:40) Use of the word ‘hour’ here denotes just how quickly it will occur. He noted a number of indicators that would mark the time for it, and those paying attention to those indicators aren’t being discouraged by those (like certain ones here) who unwittingly echo the Bible at 2 Peter 3:4 where ‘ridiculers’ will say “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as they were from creation’s beginning.”

   Also take note of the use of the Greek word ‘parousia(s)’ here, which means “presence”, not “coming”

   CNN article reagrding 3300 year old shipwreck found 56 miles out- " Yaakov Sharvit, director of the Maritime Archeology Unit at the antiquities authority:

   “This is the first and earliest shipwreck discovered to date in the deep sea in the eastern Mediterranean,” he said. Previous knowledge of how ships traded suggested that voyages were made from port to port, rather than across open expanses of sea, with those on board still able to see the shore. “This is a world-class sensation: The discovery shows the impressive navigational abilities of the ancients – those that made it possible to cross the Mediterranean Sea without any eye contact with the shore – since from this distance you can only see the horizon line,” he added.
