However, if you think the Catholics are the ones who have it right, then you are sadly mistaking.
I noticed the same thing, Vike. The author of that article says nothing about the official eschatology of the RCC - Amillennialism. Amills, of course, are not pretribs, what they believe, however, is as false as pretrib is.
If I were forced to choose between the two, I’d choose Protestant Pretribism. The Amillennial eschatology of the RCC is far worse, in my opinion.
One reason I do not write extensively on my understanding of the end times is because no man knows, and the best we can do is lead others in the proper path that will get them into heaven when the you know what hits the proverbial fan.
End times discussions are interesting and it does bring people to the discussion of Christ, but so soon after the debate begins, the talk of Christ's Salvation takes a back seat to everyone's opinion of the end.
I am reminded of the tale ( I say tale because I do not believe it is based on fact), but the tale of the day a normal street person was giving advise on the stock market in the late 1920's.
Well Joseph Kennedy was walking by and overheard the discussion. Afterwords he contacted his stock broker and told him to liquidate his stocks. When asked why, his reply was,"When normal penniless street bums begin talking and giving advice on the stock market it's time to bail."As the fable continues, within a week the stock market crashed.
I do not mean to say that there are no good lessons to be learned in eschatology, but there are way too many learned and unlearned men who have decided they know better than Christ did when He walked among us, and He did not know the time nor hour, "Only the Father does" as He told His disciples.
I for one have not been given the insight. So the best I can do is look at the evidence from all sides, decide what fits best with the context of Scripture as for making sense. Then with my years of in depth study of Scriptures, my knowledge understanding of history and the historic way men eventually always turn from Him, I can only conclude that some have it close.
Unfortunately for many lost souls, far more (many, many more) are way out there on Pluto in their understanding of both the Scriptures as far as Salvation and eschatology.
