But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
It seems to me that this prophecy is critically important as it reveals a person’s standing with prophecy. There is a growing trend among churches to embrace Reformed theology and with it, a Protestant view of eschatology. The relationships of God with: Israel, Gentile nations, and indeed church age Christians are tied up in our understanding of God’s thoughts concerning future things.
Subjects like:
- When the rapture takes place
- What is the nature of the Tribulation and
- Who will be in it
are key to understanding the work of churches right now.
A great disservice therefore is done when preachers choose to make little of eschatology in favor of making much of church growth.
A person’s understanding of God’s thoughts on these future things profoundly impacts his view of salvation and of the doctrines of the church. It’s foundational. It’s basic. It’s even prerequisite to a right understanding of everything else that is Christian.
