I think the mistake with prophecy is trying to figure out what it means in detail rather than just getting the general feel for what it is telling us. Prophecy bugs pursue it in the same way Witness Lee pursued "hidden truth"--trying to find that exclusive nugget or insight into universal knowledge and enlightenment that will give you an edge.

At that point prophecy has become a distraction. You are NOT going to find some special key in Bible prophecy that will give you an edge on getting into the kingdom or whatever it is you are trying to achieve.

Here's the key: Jesus is coming back to judge the world, and you. In the meantime he expects to you live a sacrificial, holy life--serving others, spreading the gospel and putting him first. It's that simple. Don't complicate it with prophetical mumbo jumbo.
