Question: Has there not been apostasy since the very writings that now comprise the NT?

I am not dismissing anything current, but didn't the theologians of prior centuries also see evidence that suggested the time was near?

What does deciding that we really do have the general time of the end times do for us? As the disciples of Christ, should we be living differently now than we should have been if we lived 1,500 years ago? Is the very revelation of anything about the ends times for the benefit of figuring it out, or to remind us that given the grand metaphorical narrative supplied, along with the extraordinary power of God to cause even not being as being, that we should always expect it could be today even if it does not happen within this third millennium?

It seems that the history of those who start to "figure things out" is not really so grand.
