Why shouldn't Christians give up waiting for the end times to come?
Christians should not give up waiting because God is on the throne and the end is still going to happen. Every passing day brings it closer and closer, so they can keep waiting with certainty that it will come to pass.
Les teaches that today the end is a lot nearer than it was when those lessons were taught in 1995 and 1996. His exhortation is, “don’t give up.” The ground for that patience is that God is on the throne and it is still going to happen. The passage says we keep getting closer and closer with every passing day, so the waiting is not pointless; the fulfillment remains certain because God rules.
