it says, "For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing." This describes the modern day Christians at the end of this Church Age.  They are pressing for special revelations of the end day by day. Their bibles are never searched or poured over.  God HAS shown us the end from the beginning, yet it seems to never be enough. And there is such a weariness and hardness to everyone's walk because they have not had a glimpse of heaven. Without that revelation, the Believers then lose strength, perseverance and hope. When you can have a glimpse of the end, then you will push through the middle part of your race. The other world MUST become more real than this one. Forsake this present evil world. The more you spend time in the word and prayer, your eyes will open, and you will "desire a better country, a heavenly land. "Let us therefore go forth unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come."
