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.
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 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.
Yet today more than ever, so-called Evangelicals are increasingly becoming dismissive of Bible Prophecy because they believe it is a fool's errand, that Christ may never return, or that it impedes their ability to enact cultural change through the social gospel. This is promulgated in the Reformed Theology groups as well as thru the Prosperity Gospel and Emergent Church movements. It's like it has become popular again in Christendom, to no longer care if or when Christ will return, as if it is some distraction we needn't concern ourselves with.
Satan and all of his demonic hosts then, HATE Bible Prophecy, because it foretells their sure doom. We know the things Satan hates most, because these are the things he has spent most of his time and energy trying to destroy. Likewise, if the world is under the temporary control of Satan, it makes sense then that these are the same things the world hates. Satan has invested millennia in distorting, perverting, discrediting, dismissing, and silencing true, orthodox, and Scriptural Bible Prophecy.
