Chris.
Some good Christians, True Believers, concentrate on the future. They get caught up with all kinds of future prophetic teachings. There are other good Christians, True Believers, who concentrate far too much on the past. They waste people's time attempting to be overtly 'spiritual' attempting to delve into and bring 'healing' to people's inner man. The Lord wanted John also to write about the present. In our churches and ministries, let's not get caught up with the past and the future, but essentially minister in the present.
