I have heard much talk as of late about eschatology. Of the many godly men I respect few have the same view. These things can not be fully known.
There are so many Christian folks that quarrel or wrangle (for you Al) about stuff that cannot be fully known! Stop it. Just stop it!
Yes, there are battles that need to be fought. If someone comes to you with a gospel different then the one taught in scripture, I believe that is the time for the boxing gloves to get dusted off. Fight the fights that need to be fought. Fight them with scripture. This is not the time to say ''I think'' or ''I feel'', this is the time to say ''the Word of God says!'' There is authority in the word of God only foolishness from the word of man.
I am convinced however that if we spent as much time trying to figure out what it means to walk by the spirit as we do fighting silly fights that have no answers that this world could be a different place. This world could use a few more Spurgeons, or Newtons, or Brainerds, or Calvins. Let us go together for the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ go boldly into this dark world!
It has been said that the night is darkest before the dawn and I believe this to be true. As I look around this dark world in these dark times I can't help but wonder how much darker it will have to get before the coming of the Son.

Rob - Praise God that His word and His spirit in you bring obediance to the Word - Jesus Christ... to preach the Word...
"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
As far as AJ is concerned... I think he is a 'wrangler' the likes of the ole puritan 'wranglers' who didn't get sore in the saddle after a few minutes in the Word! ..so keep 'wrangling' Al!
