I am merely suggesting that even during the primal apostolic period, the notion was present that certain traits would not continue.

But, my personal view is hardly relevant. Read the texts in context and plot it on a timeline. Then ask yourself: what changed?

It is interesting to note, when Q quotes scripture these are generally poised towards spiritual readiness:

1. Armor of God
2. Love.

Also interesting to note: John emphasizes it, James and Jude do, Peter does in his writings.

And especially saillant is when Paul writes to Timothy about the end times. As a general description people would behave without love.

Of course, it is a trueism, from proverbs or ecclesiastics that when a vision is absent, the people perish. When a thing hoped for does not manifest, the people become disheartened.

This.places upon all of us the question what is our mission?

To be against something or to be for something?

Drilling down to the nitty gritty, the greatest thing we can do, is live from the spirit: i.e. love, hope, joy.

Where then do the other manifestations of the spirit come into view? It seems.to me, considering the overwhelming emphasis, it is not prophesy, or any other trait but the soul-state: love, joy, hope.

And what a vision, what hope do we have? The greatest vision, the greatest hope of all.
