I guess it depends on where one thinks we are in point of time whether they would think teaching on end times is beneficial. If one thought we were at least generally close to the coming of Jesus it would become very important. It would mean that in their lifetime they would live to see perhaps millions of their fellow saints being led to the slaughter, and live on a planet devastated by nuclear war, earthquakes, famines, ect.
Have I learned anything there? Honestly nothing I could not have learned, or more accurately as you put it been reminded of at the UPC Church that is 12 miles from me. They teach almost exactly the same things.
So I have been driving 150 mile round trip to this Church on the basis of post trib truth. If it was taught or at least mentioned occasionally it could perhaps overcome the other issues of disagreement such as the teaching of immortal soul and the embracing of Christmas and Easter.
