With all the recent, saturated teaching of the end times—with all the specific time-lines of every detail—without explaining how those details come directly from the Bible—with the over-riding assumption to believe in the teacher to get it right— — —I am having a hard time buying into everything with those who “know-it-all”, and “trust me”.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— The second coming of Jesus.
to
— The third coming of Jesus.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— When Jesus returns, it’s over.
to
— When Jesus returns, it’s not over.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— When Jesus returns, you don’t have another chance.
to
— When Jesus returns, some people might have another chance.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— The Bible is relevant to apply to my life.
to
— Most of Revelation does not apply to my life because Christians will be gone.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— I can grow closer to Jesus in His Word, even when I don’t understand some passages.
to
— I should understand every detail because prophecy teachers explain every detail.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— The focus of every sermon, every teaching must show God’s love sending Jesus to save anyone from hell to heaven.
to
— The takeaway from many messages on end-time prophecy—believe in Jesus to avoid The Great Tribulation.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— Biblical warnings about the end of our life, with immediate judgment, calling people to repent and believe in Jesus.
to
— Continuous explaining detailed end-time time-lines is most important.

I have a hard time adjusting from:
— Relevant Biblical teaching turns people to Jesus, and helps us live for Him now.
to
— Constant saturation teaching of imminent events at the end, turns people off and tunes them out after awhile.
