I'm reading the Left Behind series

[oikonomia]

Actually; all the Prophesies are in plain view, all we need to know about Gods plans for our future.
But the problem arises when people have other ideas, they mis-read, mis-interpret and add to scripture. Classic examples are the verses like John 14:1-3, which those who like to think the Lord will rapture them away from testing and trials, use to support that false idea. John 14:1-3 has nothing to do with such a fable..
People should have no objection to reading what I present from the Prophetic Word.

Operative Words: ....when you see the AoD......

It is not though the only problem when people have other ideas about the purely object aspects of future events.
There is the problem of not heeding the moral aspects of spiritual prepardness for the Lord.

Let me illustrate. The experts in the law OBJECTIVELY correctly informed Herod that the King of the Israel would
be born in Bethlehem. They were right objectively.

Yet why do we read that not one of them WENT there to see this tremendous fulfullment of prophecy? (Matt. 2:2-5)
Where was their heart? Where was their hunger for this Messiah King?
They may have been self satisfied just to "know the facts" as right information.
Where, I ask you was thier love, their heart, their longing to SEE the born King?

Compare thier attitude to the attitudes the unleared shepherds who went there to see?
And when the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds spoke to one another, Let us go then to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us. And they came in haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. (Luke 2:15,16)

Where was the hunger like Anna the prophetess who earnestly petitioned God for the Messiah's coming?
And she was led by the God to see the young child and give thanks.
And she [Anna] was a widow up to the age of eighty-four, who did not depart from the temple, serving God with fastings and petitions night and day. And at that very hour she came up and returned thanks to God,
and spoke concerning Him to all those waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem. (Luke 2:37,38)

Where was the eagerness like Simeon who asked not to die before he saw with his own eyes the Messiah?
Now You release Your slave, Master, according to Your word, in peace;
For my eyes have seen Your salvation, (Luke 2:29,30)

You see that some were just satisfied to be learned, accurate, knowledgeable and correct as to the letter.
But there are those who had that AND such a cooperation, coordination, praying spirit - for God to fulfill His word.
They lived in the moral expectation of His coming and not just to be "dead right" about all the objective information.

So we need to ask the Lord to save us from just the self satisfaction of having it "all right".
We may not have it as right as we should because we see it only objectively.
