Everything Will Pan Out In The End
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36)
When I was in college, I went to a Christian college which required that you take at least nine hours of Bible. At that particular time in my life, I wasn't really interested in the Bible. I had gone to Sunday School and I was majoring in music and speech. Because of my background and growing up in a church, I had some theology, and I knew several different interpretations of the Book of Revelation.
I went to Dr. James Level, who was teaching a particular course on the New Testament. I asked him, “Dr. Level, are you a Pre-millennial, a Post-millennial, or an A-millennial?” Basically, this has to do with the reign of Christ for a thousand years, and when He will come. The Pre-millennials believe that we will be with Christ before the millennial reign. The Post-millennials believe that it will get better and better, then Jesus will come. And the A-millennials believe it is all symbolic, and there is not literally a thousand years.
Because I was curious where the professor stood, I posed the question. He looked at me and said, “Young man, I'm a “Pan-millennial.” I said, “What's that?” He said, “I believe it's all going to pan out in the end.” That is exactly where I want you to go to realize that Jesus wins; and we will win with Him.
It breaks my heart to see so many relationships experience tension within the church because of where we stand on the end times. We need to realize that as much as we study and learn, we will never have all the answers. Only the Father knows it all. Don’t allow the interpretation of the end times to ruin your fellowship with your friends, pastors, theologians and with your family. Don't get into an argument over it. Remember that the theme of the Book of Revelation (and really all of Scripture) is about God's hope for His children. If they are going through difficult times, we must remember that, in the end, He will bring everything together and make all things right. Remember, God is in control!
