RAPTURE, TRIBULATION, MILLENIUM

I see too many people obsessing over features of 'end times prophecy.'  They proclaim and debate (discuss and cuss) their doctrinal positions, and often become disagreeable over their disagreements.
My own positions are not quite so settled.  I have come to reject dispensationalism and its basic premise.  Otherwise, I am not too concerned.
Why?  I realize that I cannot do anything to make these events happen.  Neither can I do anything to prevent or delay them.  They are going to happen when they happen.
I am not being fatalistic either.  I recognize that they are beyond my control.
In the first chapter of Acts, the disciples asked Jesus if He was going to restore the Davidic kingdom of Israel at that time.  He told them the time for that was in the Father's hands.
His answer reminds me of a line from Jesus Christ Superstar:  Why are you so obsessed with fighting times and dates you can't defy?
