Description
Prophecy, believe it or not, is big business. It's an industry, that rakes in millions by scaring people to death. There are more religious titles about the Antichrist than we could possibly count, and cable T.V. can't produce enough shows on how the world will end. It's big money for publishers and television advertisers as well. What's fueling it? A deep psycho-spiritual desire to be enlightened? Or perhaps the same thing that causes people to line up for the latest generation of roller coasters - the adrenaline factor.
Let's face it. Apocalypticism is an admission of failure. We are tasked with making the world a better place, making it fit to live in, for ourselves and our posterity -- "Giving a damn" about the next generation to come after us. But instead, too many religious-minded people simply throw up their hands and say: "Well, we tried... It must be time for the judgment day!" Perhaps that's why end-time prophecy is so often associated with an assortment of hyper-religious "nuts"... and not without reason. There's hardly a person alive who isn't at least curious about how it will all end, but when we actually pay attention to what the prophecy buffs are saying, we want to shout: "Stop the insanity!"
Might it perhaps take a Hebrew/ Jewish perspective to appreciate what so many (especially in the Christian world) are preoccupied with? That at least is my take. As a person of Jewish faith, I seek to give timely advice to help Christians better appreciate the many prophetic portions of the New Testament, which have in fact been fulfilled already, in the terrible events connected with the "Great Revolt" against Rome (66-70 A.D./ C.E.). I hope to help create an awareness that history does indeed repeat itself, and if another round of "tribulation" awaits, we cannot better prepare ourselves than by studying the "Great Tribulation" of days gone by...
