day no. 15,518: repenting right now

"The function of eschatology is to prepare us, not to inform us. The book (of Revelation) is for the obedient, not the curious." -- Steven W. Smith, Recapturing the Voice of God

Whenever God casts a vision for the future, its application is in the present. He isn't merely communicating certain facts about what will happen tomorrow There are certainly plenty of those as you’d expect, but what many miss is the motivation for present obedience.

In other words, eschatology is more about repenting right now and reordering the events of today than it is about resenting the future and attempting to order the events of tomorrow.
