Are we surprised? Well, it depend on how you see it. As for we Bible students, it hasn't come as a surprise to us.

Yes bible students, instead of being afraid, it gives us more reason to be happy knowing that they are signs that our great God Jehovah have heard our prayer for his kingdom to come. For he have said, "All these must occur before the arrival of his kingdom"
