The Lord Jesus said to His disciples, "Be careful what you are hearing"... and I would suspect also on HOW we hear it. This makes quite a difference when you hear something taught, preached or even prophesied, Be careful what you hear and how you hear it. What you hear has to do with the content of what you are hearing, be on your guard against false prophets, teachers, pastors, apostles etc, etc. Don't subject yourself to false teachings, for you might become ensnared by them. How you hear, has to do with your heart attitude. Are you proud and conceited, do you think you know it all? Remember, it is God who resists the proud, not the devil.
What has this to do with the end times? The same checks apply to end time things as any other matter in scripture. The truth about the end times will either prepare you for what is coming, or, make you nonchalant because you think you will be raptured away. Oh yes, you read that right. It is error to think you will be conveniently raptured away, especially during the last of tribulation days i.e. the great tribulation. Any teaching on pre - tribulation rapture is the work of man's interpretation or perception of end time events. Movies have been made of it, books have been written on it, sermons have been preached on it, even apparent prophecies have been made on it. Yet, all are unscriptural and are not the teachings of Christ or the apostles and prophets. This is all so because, we have not listened carefully, we have chosen to hear the words of men rather than the apostles and prophets of scripture, the main witness being that of Christ Himself. Ponder on this.
Grace be with you.
