I've enjoyed the study but it can definitely be confounding and I'm sure not everyone will agree with the interpretations that make sense to me. However, hopefully the gist of it most days is something that can resonate with us all!
Yeah it seems end times theology runs a wide range of interpretation. To me yours this far is pretty on point.
I think folks sometimes try too hard to relate it to being an imminent event. It may be, but every person who has set a date for the end times this far has seen it come and go so……
I was recently reading a book on the topic and they shared something along the lines of: "It's imminent even if not immediate." Specifically, that while the end might not happen this second, when it does come it will come quickly and things will unfold in short order.
I found that helpful to a degree.
At the end of the day eschatology does matter, but people really get hung up on the different positions and die on hills they need not be dying on. Here I think the "panmillennial" has it right, but that doesn't mean it's not worthy of our study and attempt to understand!
Great lessons from a difficult book.
Appreciate your support, brother!
