The Bible and end times


Regarding end times scenarios and speculations and so on: once you get the 'whole' of the Bible in you, in understanding (by actually reading it complete, over and over, something the church and seminary leaders will mock and attempt to dissuade you from doing) you then are able to see - to discern - the parts in relation to the whole. This makes one amillennialist. The simplicity and elegance of amillennialism can only be 'seen' first by discernment that only comes from the Holy Spirit and second by having the 'whole' of Scripture in mind and understanding. People who play endlessly with the 'parts' of Scripture that bear upon (or they think bear upon) end times and come up with their endless 'pre-millenial' this and 'preterist' that nonsense are people who have yet to get serious with the Word of God and engage it as a whole, in complete readings. Understanding comes from seeing the parts in relation to the whole. The Bible is simple and elegant when seen with understanding, and for end times understanding the Bible presents what historically has come to be called amillennialism. And yes it's a dumb word, but it only had to come into use to differentiate the truth from the false teachers of the 19th century (those 19th century theologians at it again, the same types who convinced dumb and innocent and wicked people that the Alexandrian manuscripts are the Word of God).
