Interpreting Market Signs in the New Testament and Today

"The real estate market is coming back!! Did you see the news last night? The Fed and Obama say the recession is over. They'll be buyers for my house in no time!" (Charlotte Landlord) "...When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times." (Jesus Christ, recorded in Matthew 16:2-3)
