This is exactly the way I feel about the word, "discernment", that so many people throw around. I think 9% of Christians might possess a measure of it, but close to 85% claim (no, "swear") they have it, in spades........ when they probably wouldn't recognize "discernment" if it suck up and bit them on the rear end.

What I have noticed is that those who feel threatened by concepts they do not understand or ideas that do not fit into their narrow mold of reasoning from the biblical text tend to immediately try to discredit the other person by either challenging academics, marginalizing their level of education, or attacking their level of intelligence, and then claiming that their own view is the correct one because the H.S has led them to this view, even when it stands diametrically opposed to the language of scripture. This is nothing but an attempt to assign credibility to ideas, theories, or concepts that scripture clearly will not support. Anyone who makes the claim that the H.S is directing them to accept something as truth that stands contrary to the the scriptures definition of language is simply lying in attempt to establish credibility for themselves by extending credit for their ideas to the H.S. A word of advise, don't blame what you believe on the H.S.
Ezek 12:22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
Ezek 12:23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
These time draggers that claim "at hand" and "shortly come pass" in prophecy can mean 6 days, 2 hours or 2000 years are doing exactly what the people in the land of Israel were claiming in Ezekiel - "The days are prolonged"...

Because the book of Revelation was written late in the first century and concerns "the Lord's Day" (Rev 1:10).
The persecutions Christians experienced in the first century, and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD are not the topics of Revelation. Revelation primarily concerns Daniels 70th week and beyond.

People hold different eschatological views because they believe the Bible supports their view. If everything was crystal clear, we would all believe the same thing.
At this point, I am firmly pre-mill, pre-trib.
Agree. Our beliefs should come from the Bible, and not contradict it.
