Is this the war of Gog and Magog?
Is Jesus coming back next week?
In this episode of Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson, we dive into:
How Christians should respond to the Israel-Iran warWhy spiritual revival is rising even while rockets fallThe 5 biggest mistakes Christians make when interpreting end-times prophecyHow to pray, think, and live with wisdom—not fear—in times of global crisisWe’re not chasing headlines.
We’re chasing truth.
Let’s trade speculation for Spirit-led strategy.
A biblical overview of Ezekiel 36–39 (and why it may or may not apply right now)The danger of “newspaper theology”Why prophecy should lead us to worship, not worryHow to align your heart with God's mission in the Middle EastWhat Jesus actually told us to focus on when the world feels unstableMatthew 24:6James 1:19Galatians 5:1Romans 11:26Isaiah 1:171 Corinthians 12:26Ezekiel 36–39Revelation 7:9✖️ Mistake 1: Obsessing Over Timelines
We want dates. Jesus gave us warnings.
Matthew 24:36 —
“No one knows the day or the hour.”📌 Instead: Live ready every day. Watch with hope—not fear.
✖️ Mistake 2: Confusing Israel, the Church, and the Nations
Some believers apply every prophecy to the modern Church. Others assume every ancient text points to modern Israel.
God is not done with Israel.The Church is His body.And the nations still matter.📌 Instead: Study Scripture with humility. Context matters.
✖️ Mistake 3: Reading the Headlines Into the Bible
Every crisis isn’t an end-times confirmation. That’s called newspaper exegesis.
📌 Instead: Read the news with a Bible in hand—but let the Word be the lens, not the mirror.
✖️ Mistake 4: Ignoring the Genre
Revelation is apocalyptic literature—symbols, metaphors, visions. Not a science report.
📌 Instead: Let it awaken awe. Let it drive you to worship and holiness, not just debate.
✖️ Mistake 5: Losing Sight of Jesus
The book is called The Revelation of Jesus Christ—not of world governments or conspiracy theories.
📌 Instead: Let every prophecy point you back to the Lamb who was slain and the King who is coming.
