As I like to say: the fact that, throughout church history, the church has teased out three basic eschatalogical positions from the same biblical material (pre-, post-, and a-) should be a hint that we don't know as much about the endtimes as we like to think we do. It also shows that, in the Bible, God has not given us enough information to be able to figure it all out in detail (Jesus Himself said so explicitly) but He has given us just enough information so that we need to live by faith that He knows what He's doing.
All of which should lead to humility on our part. Whichever position you hold, do so
sincerely, but do so
lightly. We could
all be wrong!
