What I think that most present day Evangelicals do not understand, (that was me until recently) is that over the centuries there have been a few differing interpretations of Biblical Prophecy. What we learn today was developed in the early 1800’s by John Darby. It is called dispensationalism. The early church fathers did not see it the way he did.

It is prophecy. Prophecy is not written clearly for a purpose. So if we do not agree on the interpretation, that does not make God a liar…..nor should it make people angry.

I suggest checking out the other Biblical interpretations instead of just accepting a narrative without personal study, or condemning other views.

I like your take....
Something is Prophesied and it comes to pass ...Then We see it clearly. That GOD has brought it about in a Beautifully Awesome manner!

Sometimes trying to Understand it all has to go into the file of “GOD’s Mysteries.”
