Should Christians focus on things seen or things not seen?
Christians should focus on the things not seen, not on the things seen. The visible world is rushing toward the man of sin, global politics, economics, and religion, but believers are told not to be concerned about what is seen. Instead, they are to look at the unseen things, because those are what we turn to.
Les explains that while the world rushes toward the time when the man of sin appears and brings a semblance of peace to the Middle East, people forget the admonition to lift up their eyes when these things come to pass. He points to exploding technology, global politics, global economics, and religions coming under one headship as signs the time is short. Therefore, believers should not be concerned about things seen but should look at things not seen, because those are what we turn to.
