“My opinion on ones view of the end times is that it has no bearing upon one’s salvation, so why waste your time thinking about it?”
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. - Revelation 1:3.
I don’t think it is wasting time to read and reflect on it, but I agree that one can obsess too much about it to the detriment of other items.
Amen. The time was near, even for the original hearers/readers of the Book of Revelation 2000 years ago. Just like for each of us, the end--our own end-- can happen any moment. Yes, it is more profitable for us to meditate on that than trying to match up prophecy in the Bible with the daily news.
