A lot of people have invested their lives in an extreme form of pre-millenialism that denies the gospel any power anwhere other than between the ears of the individual believer. Frequently failures in their own lives, such folks can only take a sour satisfaction in selected factoids that reinforce their sense of being spectators at history's train wreck.
