>>It sure seems like we are going to see our LORD any day now with all that's going on in the Middle East. The shame of it is most people don't see the implications of the Pope siding with the Palestinians, or Russia becoming involved in supporting Iraq. Allegorical interpretation blinds people to seeing God's plan playing out right before us.<<

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

I think that as more and more eyes are closed, the prophecy is able to go forward. Remember, blindness in part happens to Israel. It is not possible for a blind man to see these things. Blindness seems to be spreading to the church as we are experiencing a falling away.

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.
