But is finding a roadmap through the end times the point?
Or is it the reminder that it will touch us all in some way whether we are alive at that time, or have "fallen asleep" long before? A graphic reminder to never assume tomorrow?

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
This is a really simple verse. No need to overthink it, or become skeptical about His timeline. How ‘bout we just read, hear and keep, like the verses say? There is the blessing.
Meanwhile, ask him if he has something in mind for you to do. Do what he tells you. If he doesn’t have anything for you to do, live the life he has for you as best you know how. After all, it’s about Him. We don’t have to figure it out. But, we are charged with a task that comes with a blessing. I guess that’s ‘kinda what he does.
You don’t have to read the words of prophecy. Your call. Some of us are curious (me for one). Some are afraid and call these discussions “fear mongering” (not me). Regardless, this is a place for discussions, so that’s what we do, freely.
