Could Chernobyl Be the Third Trumpet?

For decades, eagle-eyed prophecy aficionados have scoured the headlines and the Scriptures hoping to find clues as to where we’re at on God’s prophetic timeline and how much longer we’ll have to wait before the glorious return of our Master, Yeshua. But does the Bible really predict Apache helicopters, Patriot missiles, the Chernobyl disaster, and nuclear weapons? In this, the first of a multi-part series on the end times, this podcast episode features a discussion with D. Thomas Lancaster, author of the forthcoming End of Days Torah Club study track. Jacob and Daniel explore some of the apocalyptic imagery in the Bible to find out what’s really going on behind the veil. 

👉 Takeaways 

►  The First Rule for Interpreting Revelation: Understand the text in its historical context. The book of Revelation was written to real people at a real time in history. Our understanding of its future application comes after we first understand what it meant in their time.   

►  Apocalypse Means Unveiling: Explore how apocalyptic texts reveal the spiritual forces influencing physical world events. Instead of looking for direct correlations with modern occurrences, learn about the spiritual power behind what you observe.  

►  Develop a Robust Prophetic Framework: A Jewish apocalyptic understanding creates a robust, biblical, and resilient framework for interpreting end-times prophecies, as highlighted by the End of Days Torah Club study track. This approach provides a reliable anchor for your faith, independent of current headlines, offering a stronger foundation than sensational interpretations.
