WHAT IS THIS WEBSITE'S APPROACH
TO THE INTERPRETATION OF PROPHESY?

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"). The literal approach  to interpretation is emphasized throughout this website.

For example if God says "1000" and "1000" makes good sense in context, then the interpretation in these notes is that God means "1000". (see The Millennium 1, The Millennium 2, The Millennium 3)

Allegorical, figurative, spiritualizing approaches to interpretation will be assiduously avoided.

My approach will be to allow the Scriptures to "speak for Himself" and avoid ingenious, imaginative interpretations that are not compatible with the plain sense of the passage and the Scriptural context. For example, if you are looking for "dogmatic" interpretation of the locusts unleashed when the fifth angel sounds his trumpet in Revelation 9:1-11, you will be disappointed in the offering on this website. Although there may be some attempt to correlate Biblical events with current world events, that will not be a major focus. 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 rather than for the "Antichrist" (cf 1 Jn 3:2-3).

The goal of the charts and notes on prophecy found on this website is to present a "Bibliocentric" overview of "God's Plan for the Ages" in such a way the reader is motivated to

"deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age looking for the blessed hope (click study of "HOPE") and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus" (See notes on Titus 2:11, 2:12, 2:13-14  cf notes on 2 Peter 3:10, 3:11-13, 14).

I am a retired physician who specialized in pathologist and received training in the importance of careful observation. I fully understand the relationship between accurate Interpretation and correct treatment of patients and it is this same "life and death" mindset that will guide all observations and Interpretations of Biblical Prophecy on this website.

Approximately one quarter of the Bible was prophecy at the time it was written. Fulfilled prophecy is now history, but there is still much exciting prophecy yet to be fulfilled to the letter. Remember however that prophecy was not written to satisfy our curiosity about how the world will end or to make us smarter sinners, but to cause us to discipline our selves for godliness being conformed more and more into the image of our  Savior. May the study of prophecy edify and equip us so that we

"walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls (us) into His own kingdom and glory" (1Th2:12).


MARANATHA! OUR LORD, COME!
(1Corinthians 16:22)

BELOVED OF GOD, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
IT WILL DETERMINE WHAT ARE YOU LIVING FOR

"The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the Blessed Hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deed...Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God...eagerly waiting for the hope of righteousness...waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body...longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven...for our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ...from heaven, Whom (God) raised from the dead, that is Jesus, Who delivers us from the wrath to come...Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless...there is laid up...the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to...all who have loved His appearing." (Titus 2:11-14, 2Peter 3:11-12, Gal 5:5, Ro 8:23, 2Cor5:2, Phil 3:20, 1Th1:10, 2Peter 3:14, 2Ti4:8)
