John The Baptist
Puritan Board Sophomore
I need help understanding something.
What is the rationale for the dispensational practice of watching the news for fulfillment of the book of Revelation? (For example, the goings on of the river Euphrates right now)
If the church is going to be raptured at the beginning of the tribulation (Revelation 4-19) why do they watch for signs of things that won’t occur until after they’re (hopefully) gone? This would include anything they point to in the news, including the million different things which have been purported to be the mark of the beast.
Seems to me only mid-trip people could have a reason for doing this. Maybe I am missing something? Seems to be irrational at face value.
Thanks
