For anyone in leadership or of the 'council' in churches. The whole counsel of God can be tough to teach in the church age we live in.
Acts 20:27- FOR I DID NOT SHRINK BACK FROM YOU THE WHOLE WILL OF GOD. -Paul to the Ephesians. (CR- Jeremiah 26:2).
If anyone has ears to hear and truly cares about delivering balanced teaching of the Word of God. Jacob Prasch is one of the best teachers to sit under.
As teachers go, they have a very high calling and responsibility. Answering to God for the handling of His Word is a lofty weight to bare.
Just so it doesn't look like I put Jacob on a pedestal and promote him for ulterior purposes. Dave Hunt, David Hocking, Sandy Simpson are all great teachers to learn under as well.
Let's not underestimate the believers in the pews. Those that truly are founded on Jesus and in Jesus want to know the depths of God's word. A great deception in western church culture is eliminating eschatological study. The mainstream mind goes to 'boogey man' mentality of end times and prophecy teaching because of all the charlatans out there. It's time to eliminate that trap and delve into the whole counsel in Revelation, Thessalonians, Daniel etc.
If the church doesn't teach this, it is a travesty and a hole left in the equation of who Jesus is and what He promises to do. Yes, you will be met with views contrary to each other. (Especially in the realm of the 'rapture'.) this should not stop the teaching of God's word. I do think most teachers are afraid of this subject because the content is sobering and the truth of the matter can cause loss of attendance and financial support. If that is the case, priorities are wrong. The subject matter is for ALL and not just the upper echelons of leadership.
Prepping and Equipping the Saints does include looking for His return.
A good read

Update: David Hocking is out. He had an affair.
It is amazing the once sound start of pastors who then end up in sin. The great apostasy is upon us.
