The study of biblical prophecy can become a life-long project and joy. It can also be the source of much confusion and even controversy. As anyone knows who has spent much time studying the doctrine of eschatology, or last things, there is considerable debate over the proper way to interpret these Scriptures. This debate exists even among evangelical Christians who hold to the inerrancy of the Bible. Such is the difficulty of the task.
While a study of the end times is not the purpose of this article, it is helpful to understand the context of where our discussion will go. A proper study of eschatology requires the harmonizing of relevant passages from both the Old and New Testaments. Just reading Revelation doesn’t cut it. Scriptures that inform this study are scattered throughout the Bible, although some books address the topic more thoroughly.
Another decision the interpreter encounters is determining when passages are meant to be taken literally and when they are symbolic. Or maybe even both. Figures of speech are used, just as we use them in our normal conversations. How should those be interpreted? More to the point of this article, how should we take the numbers that are used in prophetic passages? Again, even those evangelicals who uphold the doctrine of inerrancy can still differ, hopefully in a friendly way, on the proper methods of interpretation.
So what are some prophecy scholars saying now in the light of some remarkable happenings in our world? More on page two.
Before the days of Obama when a country was threatened with attack or attacked that country would retaliate. The new way of dealing with these types of situations after Obama took office was to come up with some type of agreement where he would apologize and send tons of money.
Obama was the fore runner for the Anti Christ. The Anti Christ will come from a small Country.
There may be a war IF Trump were to move the the US embassy to Jerusalem. Pslam 83 is a prayer, not a prophecy to be fulfilled. As far as the 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days, there is nothing in scripture pointing to this as meaning anything. It is nothing but a numbers game to gain the attention of the biblical illiterate.
Actually the Israel we all call Israel in the Middleast is Judah and so prophecy for Judah is for them. The Lost ten tribes Israel who are not jews are now very powerful countries as God made the promise to Abraham and Joseph to his sons Ephraim ( Great Britain) and Manasseh ( The United States) and other such as Canada, Australia, France, Ireland and other Northwestern European Nations. They will recieve the prophecies for Israel unless it’s dual for both Judah and Israel. You must know who you are before you understand prophecy. Now you know you can find our fate.
Interesting read.
those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ and Jehovah God Almighty understand that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes … don’t blink, you’ll miss it!
Brian Overcash God has not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation through the lord Jesus Christ. God dose not lie.

The Pope is a bad man!
Total BS! Trump may be acting like someone in the Bible but that in no way means that he’f fulfilling a prophecy. People that say this kind of nonsense are people that are clueless and only fool other people that are clueless.
