The rapid increase of earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, disease epidemic;
the explosion of sexual immorality, lawlessness, all are signals of the beginning of the end.
How long the process will take, only the Father knows.
If 1948 signifies the budding of the fig tree and a generation is 70 or 80 years, this would place us at 2018 or 2028 A.D.
If the budding of the fig tree occurred in 1967, then that would bring us to 2037 A.D.
Surely these are speculations and history has shown us the dangers of date setting; but the reforming of Israel in 1948 looks to begin a kind of prophetic time clock.

"And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled."
Luke 21:29-32
Many have thought that Jesus was talking about the generation immediately before them who saw His prophecy fulfilled in 70 A.D.
The word generation that comes from the Greek means family, race or people. Comparing this
meaning with others passages in the Bible, a generation could be a time period of 70 to 80 years.

God has a future destiny for Israel.
Jesus spoke the words in Luke 21:20-24 some where around 30 A.D. In 70 A.D. the Romans invaded and destroyed Jerusalem.
From then on several Gentile rulers have controlled Jerusalem and was "trampled by Gentiles."
In 1918, a British General from the League of Nations controlled it.
In 1948, Israel was reformed as a nation, but it didn't include control of Jerusalem.
During the Six Day War, in 1967, Israel recaptured Jerusalem for the first time since 70 A.D.
The Area around the Temple Mount is still controlled by Muslins.
