Christ Will Return - by Pete Garcia - www.omegaletter.com
The old saying goes, that the eyes are of no use, if the mind is blind. So it is come to this then, that we who live in the most transformative, prophetically active time since the days of Christ, see so little interest in what the Bible has to say about what will come to pass in these last days. Tragically, the disinterest comes as equally from those who profess Christ, as from those who don't. The study today is over why this is.
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Corinthians 2:6-9
The section of Bible Prophecy which speaks to the events of the last days, Eschatology, is not some fringe hobby that people dabble in with as the same seriousness as those who follow UFO's or Big Foot. Eschatology is a major doctrinal study that consumes around 30% of your Bible. John F. Walvoord, the late President of the Dallas Theological Seminary, dubbed it the 'capstone of Christian doctrine', because your eschatological view determines how you hold to every other major doctrine...such as Soteriology, Ecclesiology, etc.)
If you think about it for a second, your entire Bible, either centers around Christ's first coming, or to His second. It only makes sense that in a book in which God is revealing Himself to mankind progressively, (i.e....not all at once), is a book that hinges around His own Incarnation and His return for His people.
