Actually, this argument has been around for a long time, in Jewish society. There are the Zionists (who believe that Israel must be built up) and Anti-Zionists (Who believe a variety of things, but the only really -relevant- belief is that God would reveal it if it were time to retake the holy land).

What's the answer? I don't know. I agree with A-train that the world aches for some kind of freedom from economic and spiritual bondage, but I agree with you that the brethren would tell us when that time is.
