Myths About Studying Bible Prophecy

People that study end-times Bible prophecy (a.k.a. "eschatology") know that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence suggesting it should be studied—and that it is very relevant for us today.  Yet we also encounter people that do not appreciate that concept for a variety of different reasons.  I hope the following information will help dispel the most common myths that discourage the study of Bible prophecy.  The first discussion addresses the misconception that studying prophecy distracts one from studying "more spiritual topics", the second discussion helps alleviate the fear that prophecy is too complex to study, and the third myth refuted is that prophecy has already been fulfilled historically.

 

MYTH #1 – Studying Bible Prophecy Will Distract From More Spiritual Topics

While some people may think studying Bible prophecy can be a distraction, it is actually just the opposite.  When one studies Bible prophecy, it only enhances ones desire to study the Bible and dig deeper into many spiritual matters.  Many of the strongest Christians I have met were scholars of Bible prophecy.  Moreover, God's Word is extremely profound and highly interrelated; thus, any serious student of Bible prophecy will find themselves in every book of the Bible, as they seek to increase their knowledge of that particular topic as well as other matters addressed by our Creator.

Bible prophecy is found throughout scripture and some core concepts of every theological issue can be linked to prophecy.  Prophecy concerning the first coming of Christ (a.k.a. "Messianic Prophecy") is found in many places in the Old Testament.  Indeed, it's a wonderful testimony to know that prophecies written and recorded in the Old Testament, foretelling Jesus' birth, life, and death centuries before He was born, all came true!  There was also prophecy about the great Flood, as well as many other events.  In fact, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, the apostles Paul, Peter, and others give end-times prophecy special attention.  Jesus Himself explained the end-times scenario in the Olivet Discourse, which is recorded in Matthew 24 and in the parallel passages of Mark 13 and Luke 21.  In addition to being found in the first three Gospels, Bible prophecy about the end times can be found in Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Hebrews, 2 Timothy, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 2 Peter, the book of Revelation, and elsewhere.

Prophecy is an extremely important subject, and we know that God does everything according to His divine plan and purpose; therefore it would be contradictory to God's nature for Him to have had the prophetic words recorded if there were no purpose in doing so.  God even tells us it is important, as indicated by the abundance of prophecy in Scripture, as well as specific verses that tell us to pay attention to prophecy.  The following verses are just a few examples of God's Word specifically mentioning the importance of prophecy.

Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.  (Amos 3:7)
None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.  (Daniel 12:10)
"See, I have told you ahead of time."  (Matthew 24:25)  And "So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time."  (Mark 13:23)
Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt.  Test everything.  Hold on to the good.  (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21)
And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.  (2 Peter 1:19)
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.  For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.  (2 Peter 1:20-21)
I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.  First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.  They will say, "Where is this ‘coming' he promised?" (2 Peter 3:2-4)
Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it.  (Revelation 1:3)

We need only take a look at 1 Thessalonians to realize the significance of Bible prophecy.  There, in one of the earliest books of the New Testament, we find that every chapter has a reference to Christ's second coming!  Paul, the writer of 1 Thessalonians under the inspiration of God, wrote to the new Thessalonian church about events such as the Rapture, the Antichrist, and the tribulation events that will happen in the end times.

 

MYTH #2 – Bible Prophecy is Too Complex to Study

In the past it could have been said the prophecy was a complex subject; and, therefore, it was not that well understood.  Only recently has end-times Bible prophecy become as understood as it today.  To acknowledge that concept is actually a tremendous encouragement to people who study end-times Bible prophecy.  Why is that?  Because of what God Himself told Daniel.  Daniel wrote, "I heard, but I did not understand.  So I asked, ‘My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?'  He replied, ‘Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end'"(Daniel 12:8-9).

As you can see, Daniel did not understand what God was asking him to record.  When he asked the Lord what the outcome would be, God replied that the words were not meant for Daniel to understand and, in fact, they were to be "closed up and sealed until the time of the end." Consequently, if it can be demonstrated that now, due to relatively recent events, we are able to understand prophecy more than ever, then the logical conclusion is that we are now living in "the time of the end" that God mentioned!  Today Bible prophecy scholars are able to understand so much more than could have been understood even a few decades ago.   We now understand that historical events and modern technological advances make the fulfillment of prophecy something that only a few decades ago could not have been achieved.  I'll discuss some of those issues while addressing the last myth that requires more study to fully understand.

 

MYTH #3 – Bible Prophecy Was Fulfilled Historically

This myth is widely accepted, as it has been propagated by the Roman Catholic Church for several centuries (and likely will never be readdressed because that would require admitting the error and how it came about).  Sadly, that viewpoint has also been adopted by many protestant denominations that would otherwise shudder at the thought of accepting apostate doctrine originating from Catholicism.  The viewpoint originated because leaders within the Roman Catholic Church were trying to please the Roman government, led by men that certainly didn't want to hear of any possibility that their great empire would ever fall.  Thus, the church leaders needed to diminish the fact that some day in the future a "King of Kings" would return and reign supreme.  Hiding any mention of God's future kingdom was achieved by making it seem as if it all happened in the past or was otherwise "allegorical".

The theory of preterism, as it's called, draws the false conclusion that most of the prophecy Jesus talked about was fulfilled in a relatively short time after His death.  Depending on how extreme the position, the claim is that some, or all, of it was fulfilled in 70 A.D., with some perhaps fulfilled within a few centuries thereafter.  The Olivet Discourse, wherein Jesus explained many events that would happen in the future, did have some of the events described therein fulfilled, which does lend just enough credibility to the theory to make it sound good.  The most notable events that did happen in 70 A.D. was the destruction of the Temple and the persecution of the early Church.  However, as I'll explain, when one diligently studies the matter, they learn that many of the prophetic events Jesus foretold did not happen (and it would be stretch of the imagination to say so once it's all examined closer).

 

To back up just a little, one must understand that the Bible has many examples of what is called "prophetic foreshadowing", wherein we see a partial fulfillment of something that will be completely fulfilled at a future time.  While there are many examples, the most notable example is probably found in Genesis, where we see Abraham (the father) about to sacrifice his son, Isaac.  Some especially telling verses that explain it's foreshadowing nature can be found in Genesis 22:2, "Then God said, ‘Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah.  Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.'"  What makes that especially revealing is that Abraham had another son, Ishmael, conceived via Hagar; yet we see the phrase "your only son" was specifically used.  Moreover, it is interesting to note that it is the first place the word "love" appears in the Bible.  With that in mind, we can see how easily the description of that scene was inspired upon its writer so that it prophetically foreshadows the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, eloquently summarized in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  Another example can be found in the book of Ruth, where we learn that Boaz, as a kinsman redeemer, takes his Gentile bride, Ruth: similar to how Christ took the Gentile church as His bride.  Of course, the events that foreshadowed the real event were smaller and less consequential; yet  they provide evidence of an omniscient God that had a plan from beginning to end (much of which was foretold via prophetic foreshadowing centuries prior to the more significant event).

Carrying that concept forward, we can see that while some of the events Jesus' said would happen in the Olivet Discourse did happen in 70 A.D., many other events simply did not.  We don't have to search hard to find our first example, for in Matthew 24:14 it states the other events described in the Olivet Discourse will take place at a time when the Gospel has been preached to all the world, yet that certainly did not take place by 70 A.D.  In fact, only now, via modern communication technology (print, radio, television, movies, satellites, and the Internet), are we getting close to claiming that the Gospel has been preached to every nation, tribe, people, and tongue.

Stepping forward to the very next verse, we read in Matthew 24:15 about the "the abomination that causes desolation," which is when the Antichrist will set himself up in the Temple and proclaim to be god.  Elsewhere in scripture we learn more about the Antichrist: for example, we know that he'll be accompanied by a false prophet and that they will perform many signs and miracles.  We also know from Daniel 9:27 (which Jesus specifically refers to in the discourse) that he will confirm a covenant with many for a period of seven years, but then in the middle of that time period he will perform the abomination that causes desolation.  Note the abomination is what causes the desolation (which is God's wrath via the tribulation events described in Revelation), and not the act itself that is the desolation.  There is not any historical record of that taking place in 70 A.D.  We can look back to 168 B.C. as a foreshadow to the event, where the Greek tyrant, Antiochus Epiphanes, desecrated the Temple's holy place by erecting an altar to Zeus there.  However, the Roman general Titus did not take any such action in 70 A.D. before destroying the Temple.  In fact, the Romans did not intend to destroy the Temple, as it had many rich treasures therein.  However, when a torch was thrown through a Temple window and caught it on fire, the gold melted into the cracks.  Later, to retrieve the gold, the Romans took apart the Temple one stone at a time; thus fulfilling Jesus' prediction that one day not one stone would be left upon another (Matthew 24:2).

One of the most telling indications we have about the subject comes from four words Jesus specifically chose to use.  Keep in mind that most of the gospel was spread orally between the time Jesus was on earth until 70 A.D. (and even beyond) because most people could not read and write, and it was a time well before it was easy to record words quickly and easily.  Thus, it is quite revealing to read in Matthew 24:15 an interesting phrase, "let the reader understand".  Jesus quoted from scripture many times, yet we can see that He was clearly pointing us to the fact His spoken words were meant to be read and studied by people that would be doing so by reading scripture far into the future, as we do now!

Another place we can easily dispel a notion that 70 A.D. fulfilled all that was said is in Matthew 24:21.  There we read these important words, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again."  As we look back in history, we can see that the Jews were severely persecuted during that time, for the historian Josephus records that millions of Jews were killed at the hands of the Romans in 70 A.D.  Subsequent historians suggest it may have only seemed so and that the number is far less.  However, even if we were to use that inflated figure, we know without a doubt that it is nowhere near the six million Jews that were killed via the Nazi Holocaust during World War II.  Other places in scripture also point to major death:  Zechariah 13:8-9 explain how two-thirds of mankind will be destroyed, which is also supported in the book of Revelation.  (In fact, many of the tribulation events described in Revelation clearly have not happened yet.  I'll address the book of Revelation further below: not because it is not highly related to the Olivet Discourse, but because it has issues of erroneous interpretation and understanding all its own).  Returning to the Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24:22 continues to explain that it will be so severe that it must be cut short so that all human life is not exterminated.  Once again, we see no evidence of anything near that extreme happening in 70 A.D.

Continuing along, we read in Matthew 24:29 that the Lord will return "immediately after the tribulation of those days."  There is absolutely no record of Christ returning at that time, which, given the extreme significance of that, assuredly would have been recorded by the early church had He done so.  The only other way that verse can be explained is to spiritualize it, and claim that the Second Coming of Jesus was "invisible"; yet we read in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 that He will return for the Church in a much more noteworthy manner:

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And so we will be with the Lord forever.

 

Acts 1:11 also supports what we read above: that Christ will be seen in the clouds and that it will be a physical return.  If it were not so, there would not have been any specific mention that he ascended into heaven, was covered by a cloud, and that he would return in the same manner that he had just ascended.

The last part of the Olivet Discourse we can look to is Matthew 24:32.  Earlier, when addressing the myth that prophecy is too complex to study, I mentioned that we now are able to see relatively recent historical events that have shed considerable amount of light on what we know of prophetic scripture.  One of the most notable events is when Israel came into existence again:

"However, the days are coming," declares the Lord, "when men will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers."  (Jeremiah 16:14-15)

Until recently, it was difficult to know exactly what those words recorded by the prophet Jeremiah meant.  Due to Israel's destruction at the hands of the Romans in A.D. 70, the Jews ended up scattered far from their homeland—and they remained that way for nearly two thousand years.  As a result of that long period of time, it's not difficult to imagine that many Bible scholars began to wonder if Jeremiah's words weren't somehow historic or symbolic in nature.  However, May 14, 1948 dramatically changed that concept, for that is the date that Israel officially became a nation again.  The result of Israel becoming a nation is that while only 50,000 Jews were living there in 1900, today there are nearly 5.6 million Jews in Israel.  Without a doubt, May 14, 1948 changed a lot of things and is yet another example of how God's Word is 100 percent reliable.  It's important for us to realize, as a generation living in the times we do, that important historical date is not very long ago!  Unlike many generations, that for nearly 2,000 years, watched for end time events, we are the first that can truly point to that event and note how that crucial part of Bible prophecy has now recently been fulfilled.  The following graph will hopefully make that important concept especially clear.

Relating that to the Olivet Discourse, there are many places throughout Scripture that refer to Israel as a fig tree.  Examples include Hosea 9:10, Jeremiah 24:1-10, and Joel 1:7.  Therefore, it is believed that Jesus also was making a prophetic statement about Israel when He said in Matthew 24:32, "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.  Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.  I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."

Given that Israel is often referred to symbolically as a fig tree, we can see how the events of 1948 dramatically changed the prophetic landscape. Essentially, Israel came back to life when it became a nation again in 1948, though it had been dormant for nearly two thousand years. In other words, the prophecy Jesus spoke about in His Olivet Discourse—the prophecy that a generation would not pass once that important event happened—was miraculously fulfilled in 1948.

We can also look to many other places in scripture that reveals 70 A.D. did not fulfill the prophecy foretold to happen—which means it is yet to come:

In Romans 11:12-24, Paul clearly explains that Israel will have a future blessing.  It demonstrates that God's chosen people have not been forgotten.  God's promises are eternal, which should give every Christian comfort to know that God would not just someday "have another plan" for us too!

Following his explanation of Israel's future blessing, Paul reveals in Romans 11:25 that the Jews' rejection of the Messiah happened so that Gentiles could also be part of God's eternal kingdom.  Any time you see a biblical reference to a "mystery", it means that it is something that has not been revealed before.  In this case Paul is explaining the whole concept of why the Jews' rejected the Messiah and gave others whom He loves equally well an opportunity for salvation.  It's important to note that he says it will happen until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in.  In other words, God has some specific number of Gentiles becoming Christians in mind.  Once that number is reached He will again turn His attention to Israel.  This may also be a good point to explain that God does not love the Jewish people more than others; however, He chose the nation of Israel to bring forth the Messiah and to show His omniscience, wherein events that predict something with Israel come to pass.

We read in II Thessalonians 2:3,4 that there will be a great falling away (apostasy) before that day (the Day of the Lord: a.k.a. "the Tribulation").  That is echoed in the prophecy of Daniel, chapter 11.  A few verses later in II Thessalonians 2:8, we read that the Antichrist will be revealed and then later the Lord will consume him by coming again (the Second Coming).  Jude 1:14,15 also has a reference to unfulfilled prophecy: Namely that when Christ comes again He will do so with "thousands upon thousands" of his saints to execute judgment upon all.

That brings us to the book of Revelation, likely the most misunderstood book of the Bible.  It doesn't have to be if one learns how to study it.  Of course we have to recognize it is an apocalyptic work, wherein what is said is being done with many signs and symbols; yet we can also understand it if we carefully study scripture and recognize that much of what is said can be taken literal, or at least near literal.  The interpretation of the Bible (a.k.a. hermeneutics) is very important to all disciplines of Bible study, and eschatology is arguably one of the most important studies where interpretation is crucial to properly understanding God's Word.  As briefly mentioned before, what can make Revelation potentially confusing is if one chooses to spiritualize the interpretation of the Bible.  When I say spiritualize, I refer to the methodology whereby people do not read the Bible and understand that it means what it says but, rather, think it is all allegorical.

It is time for people to reevaluate the way they interpret end-times Bible prophecy: not unlike when people used to look at the word "Israel" in the New Testament and think that it must have really meant "the church" since Israel did not even exist as a nation.  Sadly, some people (or denominations) still hold to that theology in the face of reality because doing otherwise would have to address that past doctrine was erroneous.  As mentioned above, we can understand that misunderstanding by early readers of Scripture because, until 1948, Israel did seem out of the picture; however, one really must reevaluate how they interpret the Bible when, time after time, it seems that the more literal we take it, the more correct the interpretation becomes.

Moreover, if we are to look to our imaginations to understand the Bible, we will be left with a wide range of interpretations and, quite frankly, a lot of nonsense and debate.  Dr. David R. Reagan explains the unusual way in which some people want to interpret Scripture as "perplexing".  He notes that they accept the Bible as the Word of God and that they agree that it contains divine revelations about the future.  What is particularly inexplicable is that while they interpret virtually all non-prophetic passages literally (even Messianic prophecy), they insist upon spiritualizing all the Bible's prophecies concerning the Second Coming. That means of interpretation only invites more debate than there already is.  After all, who is to say one person's interpretation is better or worse than another's?  Given enough time and imagination, one can always make the text fit their theories if they want to just allegorize everything.

Looking at Messianic Prophecy, we can see that it was often almost literal (yet some poetic license was also applied).  Just a few of many examples include the following:

 

Jesus would be born in the town of Bethlehem

Old Testament Prophecy: "But you, Bethlehem, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel." (Micah 5:2)

New Testament Fulfillment: "After Jesus was born in Bethlehem ..." (Matthew 2:1)

 

Jesus would have His hands and feet pierced

Old Testament Prophecy: "The assembly of the wicked have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and my feet."  (Psalm 22:16)

New Testament Fulfillment: "And when they came to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left."  (Luke 23:33)

 

Jesus would be sold for thirty pieces of silver

Old Testament Prophecy: "So they weighed out thirty pieces of silver for my price."  (Zechariah 11:12)

New Testament Fulfillment: "And they agreed with him for thirty pieces of silver."  (Matthew 26:15)

 

Lots would be cast for Jesus' clothing

Old Testament Prophecy: "They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."  (Psalm 22:18)

New Testament Fulfillment: "And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots."  (Matthew 27:35)

 

As you can see from this small sample, while the poetic license can not be ignored, we can also see that what was said was fulfilled almost literally.  For example, Bethlehem did not mean some other town in its vicinity, the crucifixion description did not end up as a death by stoning, thirty pieces of silver did not end up being 3 pieces of gold, and so on.

As we begin to look at the book of Revelation in light of that, we can begin to understand that if, for example, the Bible says a great earthquake will happen, that locust will punish people with a sting, that wars and famine will occur, that water will turn to poison, etc.; then that is what is going to happen.  Another important concept that helps with one's understanding of Revelation is that we can often interpret what is in Revelation by allowing the Bible to interpret itself (e.g. a symbol that is initially introduced and ambiguous is later clearly defined: such as "the enormous red dragon" in Revelation 12:3 later clearly defined as "Satan" in Revelation 12:9).

A complete examination of Revelation is far beyond the scope of this article and would take an entire book to do a proper expository study.  If you do want to dig into Revelation deeper, I highly recommend The Book of Revelation (The Smart Guide to the Bible Series) by Daymond R Duck.  I met Daymond at a Bible prophecy conference several months ago and found him to be a knowledgeable, humble man of God.  Having read his book, I can also attest he is a good writer and that his book does a great job of explaining Revelation.

Before leaving the topic of Revelation, I would like to point out an interesting scene we read about in Revelation 13:11-17, where the dragon (Satan) gives power to the Beast (the Antichrist) and the Antichrist is able to control commerce by only allowing those that have "the mark of the Beast" to buy and sell.  There we have yet another indication that we are living in the end times (and that end-times prophecy was not fulfilled historically).  That is because only recently have we seen the invention of electronic banking systems, credit/debit cards, central computing, etc., wherein it's now possible that a central figure could have the ability to control the buying and selling of people on a massive scale.  Indeed in light of the world economy, we are reminded often how it's all tied together, more than ever, and there are many people that are continually pushing that it be even more interrelated (suggesting that we even have a one world currency and bank).  Many other technological advances in recent years have also provided a mechanism through which prophecy can now be fulfilled.

We can also understand much of what is being said in Revelation by referring to other places in Revelation, or even other books of the Bible (particularly Daniel).  In fact, that is exactly what God told Daniel would happen in the end times:

At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.  Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.  But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.  (Daniel 12:1-4)

The last sentence, "Many will go here and there to increase knowledge" is referring to the scroll Daniel was just asked to "close up and seal."  Thus, the verse means people will be searching the Scriptures, as one might do if one were comparing different books of the Bible, different translations, and research from others.

Indeed, a lot more prophecy has been written since Daniel wrote his words (e.g., the entire New Testament), and (as discussed above) we know that the Bible interprets the Bible; thus, we can conclude that Scripture that was written later was intended to help "unseal" what Daniel had written (and vice versa).  Like many others, I find myself going "here and there to increase knowledge" all the time within different books of the Bible, amongst different Bibles translations I own, in the many books I have bought, and particularly via the Internet, where searching, browsing, and researching the work of others has been made extremely easy.  Certainly the Internet has afforded all of us the ability to do research that would not have even been possible as little as twenty to thirty years ago.  Compared to a few centuries (and, in some cases, even decades) ago, I can accomplish the same amount of research within days that would have taken months or possibly years to do.  I believe that ability to go "here and there to increase knowledge," particularly within the previously sealed Scriptures, is a sign of "the time of the end."

I hope this study has helped you better understand the importance of Bible prophecy.  If you'd like to study the topic further, I encourage you to read the book, Pray That You May Escape.  It addresses all of the main topics of Bible prophecy in a concise, extremely friendly manner.  It's equally useful to those that want to begin their journey of studying Bible prophecy, or for people that know the topic well and would like some additional insight.  It's also a very useful resource with which to introduce the fascinating, relevant topic of Bible prophecy to friends and family).  I hope you will also visit the Learn Bible Prophecy Ministries web site, where you'll find many other good resources about the subject.
