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.

At the heart of most popular Christian "Prophecy Beliefs" (Rapture, Tribulation, Anticharist) is a fundament flaw--a misreading of the historical backdrop to the "70 Weeks" Prophecy of Daniel chapter 9. This is by far the MOST influential in all the Bible when it comes to calculating the End--influencing the Dead Sea Scroll Group, Jesus and his first followers, and even the Apostles Paul.! And yet, the fairly straightforward historical interpretation makes the most sense--and so far all attempts to stretch it out over subsequent centuries have failed miserably--and the 2000+ year Gap Theory...when the prophetic clock "stops," is totally without basis. It was invented in the 1830s by John Nelson Darby, then popularized by the Scofield Bible--and put out to the world by Hal Lindsey and Tim LaHaye in the 1970s-1990s.
