We already have far too many examples of books written by people who were "watching for signs," and inevitably assigned eschatological meaning to events in their lives incorrectly as a result.
When all you have is a hammer, the world looks like a nail.
When your theology centers around "watching for signs," you'll see them everywhere, and statistically speaking will be wrong 100% of the time.
This is especially true of far too many Christian fundamentalists who assign the title of "Antichrist" (always capitalized) to any and all public figures with whom they disagree, from Frank Sinatra to Bill Gaither to Pope Francis.
Of what value is this sign-watching to your relationships with God and other people?
How is it edifying to keep your eyes on the spiritual horizon instead of where you are?
