ADVICE

Distinguish Information From Instruction

  • Ask whether Jesus is giving information or instruction to interpret difficult passages.
  • Focus on commands like 'stay awake' rather than trying to date his return.

End Times As Encouragement, Not Exact Timeline

  • Jesus frames end-time imagery as both information and encouragement, not always literal detail.
  • The gospel will keep advancing despite persecution until Christ returns.
INSIGHT

Apocalyptic Imagery Is Purposefully Unclear

  • Apocalyptic images may be symbolic or literal, and Scripture leaves some glare on the window.
  • Believers should see the end times as the start of our redemption, not cause for despair.
