I am not a scholar. I am a student of the Bible as the first and foremost teacher of all things. When it comes to attempting to understand the times of the end there are MANY different approaches. Most come from how we are raised and what we have been told our entire lives. Certain assumptions we make for 30 years close our eyes and our ears to any potential other options or explanations. Why post these videos? Do I think they are the EXACT perfect interpretation of scripture? I post these videos because in my experience of tangling with eschatology and its many variations of interpretation I come back time and time again to this teaching. It just seems the most logical and easily pieced together with minimum effort and manipulation of the Bible. Does that mean it is exactly correct? I don't think so. I, myself, keep an open mind to what is constantly happening in our world and how things are still being revealed. (not the canon of scripture, I believe that is complete and finished). But the times of the end are hidden until the right moment, I would encourage everyone to struggle through the many many tough questions that this kind of study brings. Use disagreements to dig deeper and clarify the things that are not understood. If there seems to be a "fork" of interpretation take both roads to their logical conclusions. Don't just pick one and say it is the only correct way. (Again don't confuse eschatology with basic gospel teachings because Christ is revealed in scripture as just that, THE ONLY WAY). The reason for taking both roads is to not be taken off guard, but instead to be watching and waiting expectantly. One of the simple ideas I have always come back to is this: If we go through some wrath from the antichrist in some form and I am prepared for that because I held to a form of pre-wrath eschatology view, fine, I was prepared for that, BUT If we are raptured before any tribulation, WONDERFUL, all the elect are kept from harm. The point being in one situation I am prepared and in the other it doesn't matter. I do not want to be unprepared. Keep you lamps well oiled!
