In regard to the Second Coming, the believer does not need the external signs such as the Jew returning to Israel. Those are for the ones who need to be aroused by great signs -- but the believer is looking for these spiritual signs:
1. When the cup of iniquity is full. (That's the negative sign.)
2. When the Bride has made herself ready. (That's the positive sign.)
"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." (Rev. 3:11) "I come quickly" -- not in the sense of time, but in the manner -- like a flash; "That no man take thy crown" -- in the sense of a bird snatching the seed (Truth) as in the parable of the sower; (Mark 4:4) "Hold fast the Truth-- keep and guard My Word and message; hold; grasp the deposit of Truth, for it relates to a crown ("That no man take thy crown").

John Follette (1883 - 1966)
Follette was a gifted Bible teacher and author, who had both perspective and spiritual depth in his interpretation of the Word. He was an illuminated spirit in the field of spiritual reality, and had an unusual ability to impart “spirit and life” into those who sat under his ministry.He received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1913 while a student at a Bible School in Rochester, New York, and later became a teacher there until the school closed. He also taught for many years at Southern California Bible College. During the later years of his life, he was called into a wider field, ministering in conferences and retreats which took him around the world. He passed into his eternal reward in 1966 at the age of 82.
