In this multipart series I explore the phenomenon of interpreting "Bible Prophecy" and why it has utterly disappointed its devotees and adherents through the ages--with a 100% rate of failure! We look at both the texts of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, but also the long history of interpretation and predictions of the end of the age, beginning with the Dead Sea Scroll group around 100 BCE, all the way down to our own time--which has proven to be a heyday of Prophetic Schemes and Predictions.

In this video I discuss some of the surprising ways in which critical historical readings of the prophetic texts of the Bible and Christian fundamentalist Prophecy Believer share some strange areas of agreement! I lay out the main ways the biblical prophetic texts have been read over the ages: historically, allegorically, and futurist--but the common ground between the most critical readings and the most fundamentalists--taking the words of the texts and their historical setting seriously.
