You don't need to spend hours and hours to discover what God wants to show you.
You do if you want to discern the truth from amongst all the teaching that tickles your ears. Many wonderful pastors have never really studied the end times. They teach what they were taught from teachers who never really studied it for themselves either. The pastor who first taught pre-trib (john darby)was physically thrown out of his church for heresy. Why do you think it is so confusing, and so rarely taught. When they do teach it they do so from someone elses study material, rather than the bible. Why is it that most of the bible is never taught. Oh we know the Gospels and the epistles, but how many in your church can even name a minor prophet, or recognise terms like the day of the lord or day of judgement. Did you know that israel was first described as the bride of christ. Its because when you teach from the minor prophets you put the end times back in context and have to explain why do the jews get an earthbound kingdom and the christians get eternity in heaven when christ paid the price for both. You are a smart person alabaster, if you dont have time to study the bible for the truth, then study the roots of dispensationalism, and the entire pre-tribe position, it will curl your stomach.
hosea 4v1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,
because there is no truth,
nor mercy,
nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
