As current events unfold you would think there would be more whose eyes are opened to how it fits into prophesy.

You would think so, but the opposite seems to be happening. A literal reading of Scripture has been devalued and I hate to say it, but Premillennialists have contributed to the problem by getting caught up in date setting. There is no question in my mind that the systematic theology of Premillennialists which places the literal understanding first and recognizes that GOD is not done with Israel is correct, but when we set dates we diminish our credibility.

If Satan can’t keep us from believing he will work to cause us to go beyond what is written. He is cunning. I’m not sure it’s those who set dates who discredit the view of Premillennialism but they do give an opening for the scoffers.

Certainly we can't set a day and a month but we are told to not be ignorant of the times and seasons...

Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
