Multiple Fulfillments in Bible Prophecy

Author Mark Twain is credited for saying that “history does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme”. I don’t know if Twain actually said this or not, but the statement is pertinent to Bible prophecy as others and I have noticed that some future Bible prophecy events will parallel past Bible prophecy-related events in how they will be fulfilled. I discuss how some Bible Prophecy passages have multiple fulfillments in this article.

Daniel 12:4

The Significance of Daniel 12:4

I've always been intrigued by Daniel 12:4 as a student of Bible prophecy. I share my view on what this verse means in this article.

Arab Peace Initiative

The Arab Peace Initiative: Potential Insights Into Daniel 9:27

I highlight some of the items discussed in the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative. It’s worthwhile to examine the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative because it may provide us with some idea of what an eventual Middle East peace deal (Daniel 9:27’s “covenant with many”) might include

The Antichrist & Oil During the End Times

In this article, I want to show how much of the world’s oil comes from the Middle East to provide some sense of how much economic and political clout the Antichrist would likely gain if he manages to conquer the oil-producing countries of the Middle East. I also want to show how much of the world’s oil currently comes from Europe and Russia to provide a sense of how more powerful the Antichrist could become if he also controlled these areas.

Critiquing the September 23, 2015 Rapture Speculation

I was a critic of the theory that the Rapture would transpire on September 23, 2015 all the way back in 2011. Unsurprisingly, September 23, 2015 came and went without any significant event happening. I explain why the September 23, 2015 Rapture predictions failed in this article.

Tribulation

How to Tell If We’re Living in the Tribulation

A reader a while back asked me something along the lines of “how shall we know when the “tribulation” has definitely begun”. This is an important question to address because there is a lot of speculation about when the seventieth week of Daniel (the seven year time period that most people refer to as the “tribulation”) might begin or what people are going to see before it begins. It would be useful for us to have some definitive signposts that we look for so we do not get caught off guard when the seventieth week of Daniel does begin or get caught up in premature proclamations that the seventieth week of Daniel has already begun.

I'll provide a few definitive signposts that the seventieth week of Daniel has begun or is about ready to begin in this article.

Hanukkah

The Future Significance of Hanukkah

Most people believe that Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday whose significance is connected solely to past events. However, I will demonstrate that Hanukkah will have future significance as well.
