This morning while I was on my walk, I came upon a small creek that dries up during the summer except for some pools. As I investigated the stream, I saw some small fish and thought how they need to move from where they are before it's too late. If they do not, then they will suffer for missing the sign (their environment shrinking) for them to get moving.
It is the same with the Church today. For, if we miss the signs of our time, we will suffer the consequences. If we think that what we are going through will end and everything will go back to how it has always been, then we are not paying attention to what our God is trying to reveal, for our good future. The Church (the Lord has planted) needs to get prepared in both physically/practical ways and spiritually, getting right with the Lord - doing what He still needs done, while there is still time.
