The state of the Church before the Millennial Reign: Time and timing differences in the book of Revelation.

The state of the Church before the Millennial Reign: Points of disagreement.
I’ve noted earlier that the Church as a whole has relegated the Old Testament as history only and prophetic only in the places they assign.

A short commentary on the Parable of the ten virgins.

Epilogue to the sun/goat series and what’s next.
Through the last two series connecting symbols through the Bible to gain prophetic insight, we have been able to see institutions and individuals prophesied very specifically outside of a biblical timeframe.
