Responding to War, Prophecy, and the End Times: A Christian Perspective on War and Prophecy
Is this the war of Gog and Magog?Is Jesus coming back next week?Is it wrong to even ask?
In this episode of Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson, we dive into:
How Christians should respond to the Israel-Iran war
Why spiritual revival is rising even while rockets fall
The 5 biggest mistakes Christians make when interpreting end-times prophecy
How to pray, think, and live with wisdom—not fear—in times of global crisis
We’re not chasing headlines.We’re chasing truth.Let’s trade speculation for Spirit-led strategy.
🧭 What You'll Learn:
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 worry
How to align your heart with God's mission in the Middle East
What Jesus actually told us to focus on when the world feels unstable
📖 Scripture References:
Matthew 24:6
James 1:19
Galatians 5:1
Romans 11:26
Isaiah 1:17
1 Corinthians 12:26
Ezekiel 36–39
Revelation 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.
Romans 9–11 shows us:
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.
🙏 How to Pray:
For innocent lives in Israel and Iran
For revival in the underground church
For wisdom among world leaders
For Jewish people to encounter Yeshua
For the Church to respond—not react—with the heart of Christ
