William brought up this phrase so I thought it would be good to look into it. Also Gillyann asked me about my `take on prophecy,` & `end time beliefs` in relation to what is happening in the world today. Thus I thought if we (those who want to) looked at God`s overview first & then later at God`s contemporary details.
Now many people bring up objections for studying eschatology -
1. Every one has there own opinion. True, but God`s word is accurate.
2. There is so much confusion. True, but God`s Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth.
3. There is so much happening now how can we keep informed with it all. Yes, the media bomb-barbs us but we are not to be driven by their agendas, but be drawn to the Lord & know His specific plans for the Nations, for Israel & for the Body of Christ.
4. Shouldn`t we be just concerned with saving people? We should be concerned with discipling & this is a major part of that for it relates contemporary events with what God has foretold.
God has revealed His purposes in His word (& how that they are unfolding) & it is for us to seek to `handle accurately the word of truth,` so that we will not be deceived or `tossed to & fro,` but to `grow up.` If we don`t know the truth in this particular area how can we discern the error.
