I've always believed that God opens up the Bible gradually over the years to those He has picked to deliver His Word to the people (and you are certainly one of those). I believe that's why the emphasis on prophecy and also the Book of Revelation has only become knowledgeable in recent years. Previous generations didn't have a clue but as He unfolded more and more of His word to succeeding generations I can only say we are blessed to be living "in such a time as this."
