God Spot
This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome!

Different Views 

There was a time when I would get 'hot under the collar' with people who didn't think the same as I do when it comes to Eschatology. But hopefully I am maturing and have come to an understanding that we can have differing opinions and still have fellowship one with another.

I believe in the Pre-Mill view with a touch of "Pan" thrown in. My Old testament lecturer believed in the A-Mill view and we would have some lively discussions about it. I do remember having a dream when I was in M.B.I. (centuries ago) that the Lord had returned and was waiting for everyone to come to Him in a big tent and I was running along next to my lecturer trying to jump up to get raptured and he turned to me and said 'I told you so!'. I told him about the dream the next day and we had a good laugh.

The A-Mill view to me is also quite believable (probably more so than the Pre-Mill to the 'uneducated') but I can't come at the question of the tribulation. There is yet to come the Great Tribulation of which the world has never seen nor experienced anything more horrific, and I know of A-Mills who believe that we are in the "Great Tribulation" now.

I like Geoff's closing statement:-
But whether we believe X=A, Pre, Pan, whatever, I imagine the end-times message we could all agree on, loud and crystal clear from scripture, is the call to persevere, times will be tough, there will be falling away. Thus, Jesus calls us to endure in faith! And to cry from our hearts "Come, Lord Jesus".

Amen!!
