The plea that the prophetic portions
of the Bible present problems over which men disagree is not a worthy release
from its claims. There are no more
problems in Eschatology than in Soteriology.
It happens that, owing to the central place accorded Soteriology by the
Reformers and in subsequent theological writings, that it has had a measure of
consideration not given to prophetic truth.
Disagreements as divergent as Calvinism and Arminianism have never been
urged as a reason for the neglect of Soteriology, but disunity of the slightest
degree among teachers respecting Eschatology has been seized on as a reason for
its neglect.
