It was not Jesus’ prayer that His Father take His disciples out of the world, but that He would keep them from the Evil One (John 17:15). “In the world you have tribulation,” He told them, “but take courage; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33; NASB). Confident of Jesus’ victory and the Father’s protection, we can escape the temptation of escapism and leave behind “left behind” thinking as we obey the Lord’s command to engage profitably in the business of His kingdom until He comes (Luke 19:11–27). ~ Elliot Miller | equip.org/articles/the-perils-of-newspaper-eschatology/#christian-books-4
