Reading News Headlines Back Into Scripture.
"Europe, Russia, and Israel have played prominent roles in speculative prophetic
declarations since World War I. Out of Europe, we are assured, Antichrist will arise to
act as a unifier and peacemaker. Russia, the "Rosh" of Ezekiel 38 and 39, will gather its
troops and attack Israel. Of course, Israel plays the prominent role as two-thirds of those
living in their ancient homeland will be slaughtered by descending Gentile hordes. (John F.
Walvoord, Israel in Prophecy [Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan / Academie, 1962], 108.).
"While this scenario is interesting and makes for fascinating reading, we must ask a
fundamental question: Is it biblical? Bible experts have been involved in solving the
prophetic puzzle for some time. Since World War I prophetic speculation has increased
at a frenzied pace. Are today's prophetic declarations any more accurate? Can we find
biblical and historical evidence that their timing is off?
"Many so-called "predictions" are nothing more than the projection of already existing
geopolitical trends that are then read back into Scripture to fabricate biblical support. ..."
(pages 354-355: DeMar, Gary. (1999). Last Days Madness: Obsession of the Modern
Church. Powder Springs, GA: American Vision.).
God save us all from false prophecies "based on the Bible" (sic). The Bible means what
it means, not what some people say that it means! These pre-tribulational rapture
dispensationalist people are wrong about Bible prophecy! In Erie PA Scott R. Harrington
