Revelation 12King James Version (KJV)
12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

October 7 or 8, 2017, nightfall and evening, the Draconids
The radiant point for the Draconid meteor shower almost coincides with the head of the constellation Draco the Dragonin the northern sky. That’s why the Draconids are best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. That means that, unlike many meteor showers, more Draconids are likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight. This shower is usually a sleeper, producing only a handful of languid meteors per hour in most years. But watch out if the Dragon awakes! In rare instances, fiery Draco has been known to spew forth many hundreds of meteors in a single hour. In 2017, watch the Draconid meteors at nightfall and early evening On October 7 and 8, before the bright waning gibbous moon rises into the sky at early-to-mid evening.
EarthSky’s 2017 meteor shower guide
What is the origin and history of the Draconid meteors?
This annual meteor shower results when the Earth in its orbit crosses the orbital path of Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. Debris left behind by this comet collides with the Earth’s upper atmosphere, to burn up as Draconid meteors.
This comet has an orbital period of about 6.6 years. It’s about 6 times more distant at its farthest point from the sun than at its nearest point. At aphelion – its most distant point – it’s farther out than the planet Jupiter. At perihelion – its closest point to the sun – it’s about the Earth’s distance from the sun.
Most meteors in annual showers aren’t named for their parent comets, but instead for the constellation from which they appear to radiate, in this case Draco the Dragon.

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Absolutely.
Though scoffers are to be expected in anything Biblically related.
And they are already foretold..

It seems very close. It all comes down to whether or not we are looking at a fulfillment marked out in the alignment of the features in the night sky or something more supernaturally literal or something more metaphorical on earth.
I don't discount it because I do think this is the season.
Isaiah 46:9-11King James Version (KJV)
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

I do think there are signs in the heavens which point toward a time of trials and tribulations and we are obviously in such times.
What do you expect to happen if anything on Oct7,8?

Right? I try hard these days not to knock someone's belief, but some of this is just too....sketchy.
Why have so many Books been left out?
What's in the "secret vault" at the Vatican we're not supposed to see/know?
Why so many interpretations of the Bible, so many religions and each one claiming to be "The One True Church"?
Some of these "signs" have been occurring for centuries.
"Wars and rumours of war". Mankind has been at war pretty constantly, in one place or another, for the last few thousand years.
Then there's "No man shall know the hour or the day"...."but we're gonna give you all these signs."
For all I know, The End Times actually could be upon us. I mean, if I were God, looking down on all we do to each other, I'd be very disappointed in us.
And pissed.
Anger and wrath will be unleashed
