Post Eschatology is tricky! Da Sheik
I am not advocating that we (as ministers of the Gospel) should ignore the subject altogether, but I think we should take care as to how dogmatic we are in our assertions. It seems to me, that most preachers/teachers who have a bible prophecy emphasis always seem to present the material in the same fashion:

#1 highly dogmatic (almost arrogant with anyone who has an alternate view)
#2 always tied to current events
#3 ignoring what bible prophecy must have meant to the early church (i.e. "the book of Revelation is only for our generation" and has no relevance for previous generations)

Peter proclaimed on the Day of Pentecost that the "last days" were already being ushered in by the outpouring of the Spirit in accordance with Joel's prophecy.

From the pew, I have been introduced to the word eschatology but I really had forgotten its meaning, so I did look it up. for the few un-enlightened laymen aboard, like me.

es·cha·tol·o·gy
: a branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of humankind
: a belief concerning death, the end of the world, or the ultimate destiny of humankind ; specifically : any of various Christian doctrines concerning the Second Coming, the resurrection of the dead, or the Last Judgment

So not as a preacher but as a listener, I agree with your post. It does seem like that.

Every time we have these dramatic declarations and they don't happen, does it lead more people to Christ? Acts-pert Poster

No, but it does disillusion some. Sad

Post Da Shiek, I do largely ignore it...except Aaron Scott
I can boldly state from scripture that Jesus will return.

But when we get much beyond that--when we try to play the blood moons game or exactly who is the anti-Christ, etc.--it's almost entirely conjecture.

It may draw a crowd, but it's not really "feeding" the people, I don't think.
