I'm amil I suppose, but I AM curious, why does any of this matter, really?
The purpose of the entire exercise of our faith is salvation. For those of us who are saved, we are in an awesome position and have nothing to fear of the future because we are held in God's Hand.
For those who aren't saved (and yes, I understand this is a Christian only forum), the end of the world could be tommorow, for you just might die.
It is the Christian responsibility to be the light of Christ to the world, and share the Gospel with the lost.
So, my curiosity is, why does speaking or even thinking on the end times even matter? God has us in His Hand, whether we experience trials and tribulations or not we are held in the power and security of the Almighty.
So why have any concern for the future?
How does eschatology shape our lives today?
Just a curiosity point really, but I find nothing to fear here, and very little significance in our day to day Christian life outside of it does seem to shape our external politics - which can be quite a significant shaping, but is it truly relevant, in the long run, outside of politics?
