Hey you guys,

Rhonda, I started reading some of Eby's stuff today, ie, the first part of his Revelation synopsis. I believe it is important to not take ourselves too seriously on predictions based on Biblical prophecy, but, I can't find many flaws as of yet with things like the timeline David has produced or the early reformer's perspectives on historical fulfillment of prophecy. However there is only to present day that we can come close to solidifying anything and anything that is future is entirely speculative and solely to see if there are any possibilities that might not take us off our guard. My speculations of the vials is PURELY that-speculation and I'll have you both know, that you are the only two-besides my wife and a few friends who already think I'm loopy- that I would even venture to share with.;)

I agree with Eby that reading it and trying to figure Revelation out like a puzzle simply to feel "puffed up with knowledge" is truly hazardous. As for me, the more things that fall into place actually enflames my emotions and builds my faith at the awe-inspiring foreknowledge of God through Christ. There are those I have come in contact with who are seeking something but have been soured by Southern "Church" and Futurist fairy-tales. I have been somewhat successful in showing them a glimpse of God's foreknowledge through prophecy and I believe they think that if the Bible proves itself through being the only religious book to reveal "future-knowledge" even though the future knowledge had been fulfilled within our histories, that maybe they out to take a look at what else it has to say.

Just musings with my friends and family,

Chris
