What difference would it make to our theology if we knew that Jesus presently rules from every throne that He is ever going to sit upon? All of the prophecies about His Kingdom are in effect already. So many think "Endtime Prophecy" is not important today, and that there are more important things to focus upon now, since those things have not even happened yet. They're about the future. But what if the Kingdom prophecies of Christ's dominion were already fulfilled millennia ago? With all of the New Testament focus upon leading of the Spirit, overcoming sin, Satan, the world, and even our own flesh, is the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, really about Chinese armies, nuclear wars, Cobra helicopters and computer chips? Revelation is a "signifying" book of visionary symbols only understood when comparing it with the rest of the Bible. Read how John was told that its events were at hand 2,000 years ago. Learn how Revelation's storyline parallels the Exodus of Israel in astounding ways to understand what the mark of the Beast really is. See how Christ currently sits upon the Throne of David. Bible Prophecy was the launching pad of inspiration for faith from which the early Church went forth into the world in the first century. That makes eschatology a very important subject for the believer today, because it shows us more about our true positions as believers in the world better than any other prophetic perspective can.
