In this finale to my 25-part series on Bible Prophecy I explore the three major interpretations of “Bible Prophecy Belief” in our own time–Preterist, Continuous Historical, and Futurist–weighing them in the balance and finding them wanting. I discuss the terms: literal, symbolic, poetic, spiritual, and actual as well as the…
In this video I begin to explore various kinds of “Preterist” interpretations of Bible Prophecy, particularly those Christian views that claim EVERYTHING, including the Return of Jesus and resurrection of the dead, took place in the summer of the year 70 AD, with the destruction of the Jewish Temple and…
In this overview video I offer a summary of the major futurist interpretation of Bible Prophecy today–that of the evangelical Christians, most of whom follow the “Dispensationalist” views of John Darby. Remember Hal Lindsey, The Late Great Planet Earth? These views are really mushrooming in the last month, as the…
In this latest video in my ongoing series on “Interpretations of Bible Prophecy Through the Ages,” I offer an overview of the New Testament Book of Revelation–with attention to its overall narrative flow as well as its main characters and players in the final drama of the end of the…

Did you realize there are ONLY ten passages in the Hebrew Bible that predict his arrival and what he is supposed to do. The title to this post is not cynical….it is meant to be quite straight forward and direct? Christian and Muslims believe Jesus is THE Messiah of…
I began a new series on Youtube dealing with interpretations of Bible prophecy from ancient to modern times–a kind of history and analysis of “apocalyptic” dreams and schemes through the ages. We are up to episode seven–and I did five segments on the most influential book of all in this…
In this 2nd in my new Youtube series on “Bible Prophecy Through the Ages.” I take a look at the First Messiah in Jewish history–the Messiah BEFORE Jesus, who flourished in the late 2nd Temple period–100 years before Jesus and his movement. We don’t even know the name of this…
