The lesson for us is that we must continually guard against interpreting the Bible according to current events—a point often lost on some of dispensational millennialism’s more popular proponents.

I don't agree with this, yet...

Much prophecy was given in the OT (and New) and much has come to pass, fulfilled...While no one from OT times seems to recognize there would be (at least) 2 appearances of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, it wasn't made clear that it would be 2 events, until the first one took place and Jesus left...

I believe there are things in the bible that have not and will not be revealed until those events happen and then will lead those in attendance to get back into scripture and see things we never saw...

It would be difficult to diagree with your point here, and I do not. you can see that this happened to Daniel. Abstracting from that book re eschatology and the great tribulation (which the Romanists have failed to see):

Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
...
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
...
Dan 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Even J. N. Darby and his contemporaries did not see the formation of today's Israel in 1947. However, he/they did see the development of much of the prophecies regarding Western history (Babylon-->Persia-->Greece-->Rome-->current dominance of Latinized culture) that Dasniel did not comprehend but did report as instructed by Yehova,
