While it is possible to get bogged down in some finer details, as we see the prophetic Scriptures happening in our time, it is vitally important to get the warning out to those who don't know Christ that the time given for accepting Jesus as Savior is rapidly running short. One day the Rapture will occur, and the only means of escape people have from the horrors of the Tribulation will be gone.
Christians are commanded by Jesus to recognize the signs for His return as they are happening, to know the season for what it is, and to watch for His return.
We are obligated to warn the world of what is coming and to not fall in Satan's trap of ridiculing, denying, minimizing, and ignoring what is going on around us. Even if, during the course of telling others, we may sometimes fall into "minutiae".
Including some who call themselves Christians.
"...be thou therefore not ashamed of the testimony of our Lord...for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy"
