God's prophetic Word sovereignly determines world events, not the converse, so it behooves us to keep our focus on God's Word, looking expectantly for our Bridegroom (Re 19:7- note) Christ rather than for the "Antichrist" (cf 1Jn 3:2, 3- note, Titus 2:12- note, Titus 2:13- note Php 3:20, 21- note). Although there will likely be some attempt to correlate Biblical events with current world events, that will not be the major focus. For example, if you are looking for "dogmatic" interpretation of the locusts unleashed when the fifth angel sounds his trumpet in Revelation 9 (Re 9:3- note, Re 9:7- note) you will probably be disappointed in the offering on this website. My approach will be to allow God (His Spirit and the Scriptures) to "speak for Himself" (i.e., to read the text for its Literal sense) and avoid ingenious, imaginative interpretations (i.e., an allegorical approach) that are not compatible with the plain sense of the passage and the Scriptural context. (see The Millennium 1, The Millennium 2, The Millennium 3)Īllegorical, figurative, spiritualizing approaches to interpretation will be assiduously avoided.
The literal approach to interpretation is emphasized throughout this website.įor example if God says "1000" and "1000" makes good sense in context, then the interpretation in these notes is that God means "1000". This page on BIBLE PROPHECY consists primarily of Biblical "Timelines" and charts that have been developed over many years of inductive study of the Scriptures dealing with eschatology (Greek eschatos meaning "last").
