How do I know who is telling the truth about Bible prophecy?
Ask, who’s interpretations are actually happening!
By Craig C. White
There are a lot of different Bible prophecy views out there. Most of them are old presumptions that have become popularized. Too many Bible prophecy interpretations are wrong. I do not follow any teacher. I study the scriptures and derive my views from them.
You will find Bible prophecy interpretations at High Time to Awake that you will scarcely find elsewhere. Many people have asked me, how do we know who is telling the right interpretation? Well I am not a prophet but I do proclaim the messages of the prophets. The Bible says don’t believe the prophet who says something that does not happen! My Bible prophecy interpretations are happening!
Deuteronomy 18:20-22 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
I am very nearly the only Bible teacher that has examined the book of Nahum and then warned about the flooding of Mosul. Now the world fears that the Mosul dam will burst flooding the city. Read The End of ISIS is near!
I am the only Bible teacher that has examined Jeremiah 49:23-27 and has understood that Syria will be invaded from the Turkish border. Now Turkey has 54,000 troops on the Turkish border and Turkey has just announced its plans to use military intervention inside of Syria. Read The nations are disquieted over Syria
I am the only Bible teacher that has understood that the “chief prince” in Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39 is the primary governor of Turkey. That points to identifying Turkish President Erdogan as the Antichrist. Now Erdogan has claimed to be god and has gained complete power over Turkey. Read Erdogan is the Antichrist!
There are many more examples that I could give. I don’t rely on popular misconceptions in order to form my Bible prophecy interpretations. My views are being vividly proven on the world stage.
Christians! It is High Time to Awake to the end time prophecies that are happening today! It’s time to believe the interpretations that I am explaining. Jesus Christ is about to come for his Church. He is coming for us because there is a terrible time of trouble coming upon the earth and especially upon Israel. Let’s strengthen the body of Christ before he gets here!
High Time to Awake 
Craig,
This is a timely article in light of today’s World News Headlines regarding the Mosul Dam. Just thought i would crow a little for you today. After all, “he that tooteth not, no other shall his horn toot.”

As far as the only Bible teacher to say those things.. there are others. Walid Shoebat, for one, along with others. Don’t you know of them?

Hi Mark. I do read Walid Shoebat’s articles. He is really on the ball concerning end time Bible prophecy especially from an Islamic perspective. Walid has more and more identified Turkey as an Antichrist State but stops short of calling Turkish President Erdogan “The Antichrist”. I think that Walid views this verse as relating to end time events. I don’t. Walid is looking for a Greek king to die and a new ruler to replace him that could be the Antichrist.
Dan 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
The broken horn in Dan 8:8 represents the death of Alexander the great. The Grecian Empire was then divided into four sections. Dan 8:21 explains the interpretation.
Dan 8:21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
In Dan 8:21 the Hebrew name Javan is translated as Grecia. Javan was a son of Japheth but he did not necessarily settle in Asia Minor (or Turkey) as did his brothers. Most locate Javan to the west of Turkey in Greece.
Daniel chapter 8 maps the lineage of the Grecian Empire. It does not map the lineage of the Antichrist. We are introduced to this end time king beginning in verse 23.
Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Here is the most important thing to realize. The great horn in Dan 8:21 is not identifying the Antichrist at all! It does not even represent a forerunner of the Antichrist. It only pertains to ancient history. Alexander the great is not a prototype of the Antichrist. There is a type of the Antichrist that is identified a few verses latter in Daniel. In Daniel 8:25 below, Antiochus Epiphanies as well as the Antichrist are represented. They will both be destroyed.
As far as I know Walid has never identified the invasion into Syria described in Jeremiah 49 as coming from the Turkish border. Walid talks a lot about Turkey fighting against Russia and I think that he is right but that event won’t happen until well into the Tribulation period. Walid does see from world events that Turkey is planning to invade Syria but includes a Turkey vs Russia war in his analysis. Walid stops short of recognizing that Jeremiah 49:23-27 identifies Turkey as destroying Damascus which I think is one of the very next events to expect on the Bible prophecy timeline. I think that Walid Shoebat is one of the most important Bible prophecy teachers that we have during these end times but I think that there are a few key prophecies that he is still overlooking.
Walid Shoebat has rightfully identified Turkey as being represented by Magog, Meshech, and Tubal in Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39. That is very good since few others have. However he has failed to recognize that the “chief prince” in Ezekiel identifies the “primary governor” of Turkey.
NOBODY else is analyzing the Old Testament book of Nahum. NOBODY else has recognized the verse by verse application of Nahum to current events in Mosul. NOBODY else has recognized that the flooding of ISIS in Mosul is very possibly the one end time sign that Jesus will give to Israel that proves that he is truly their Messiah! Israel must repent from their unbelief as they remember Jonah’s preaching at Nineveh.

Thanks for the response! There are definitely a lot of similarities. I’ll have to read your studies on Nahum, although I am familiar with Mosul being flooded. You might be confusing Walids views on the Greek King dying and being replaced with his views on the beast system? His number one suspect for antichrist has been erdogan for years (and claims anitchrist will be the ruler of turkey), although hasn’t yet penned erdogan as the antichrist (basically has throughout his articles) Maybe you two read each other? Or at least learn from the same Person 😉
“Daniel chapter 8 maps the lineage of the Grecian Empire. It does not map the lineage of the Antichrist. We are introduced to this end time king beginning in verse 23.”
Do you think it is mapping the beast, however?
Dan 8:18-22 in these verses, would it be both historical and present? Who are the four nations (Greek empire split maybe directed by the 4 winds? 4 end time empires giving power to the last from the 4 winds? Am I off somewhere?) Aren’t they present historically and at the end as the beasts who become one?
I’m curious on your thoughts with Mosul being the sign for Israel Jesus is Israels Messiah. I was under the impression that would happen later on, and the flooding of Mosul will be either pre trib or early trib? If I remember right, God makes himself known in Ezekial 38, specifically seen in verse 23 (just looked it up). Your thoughts?
I also follow lamb and lion and Alan Horvath along with you and Walid (and others not as frequently). One thing fun about being in the church is how He uses everyone together, pieces here, pieces there (even if everyone can’t agree on christian theology :s Most of confusion is over the/which church when they should be focusing on the Body and not religion). Looking forward to the continuation of your posts.

Hi Mark. I am certain that both Walid and I have independently concluded that Turkey is represented in Ezekiel 38:1-3. Many Bible prophecy teachers don’t see end time fulfillment in Daniel 8 until it starts talking about Antiochus Epiphanies. It does that twice. Once beginning at verse 9 and again in its interpretation beginning at verse 23. That is because we are also told elsewhere in the Bible about the end time invasion of Jerusalem and the ending of the temple sacrifices. Some prominent Bible teachers try to apply the rest of Daniel chapter 8 to the end time which results in confusion. I think that that is what prevents Walid Shoebat from proclaiming outright that Erdogan is the Antichrist. If we look at the way that Bible prophecy paints the development of ancient world empires with broad strokes than we can see how we might look at future world events. There is no surprise character that upsets the play just before it ends.
Daniel 8:3-8 describes the Mede & Persian Empire as it conquers the old world and then is defeated by the Grecian Empire. The two horns on the ram represent Persia and the Medes who were dual rulers over the Mede & Persian Empire. In verse 5 we are introduced to the Grecian Empire. The one notable horn represents Alexander the great. After Alexander died the Grecian Empire was divided into four parts (see verse 8).
Dan 8:3-8 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. 4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. 5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. 7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Most Bible teachers do not see future fulfillment of Daniel 8:3-8. However in Daniel 8:9 we are introduced to Antiochus Epiphanies who was the ruler over one quarter of the Grecian Empire. Most Bible teachers think that Antiochus is a model for the Antichrist. The Antichrist will conquer Egypt, invade Jerusalem, and stop the temple sacrifice just like Antiochus did in 167 BC.
Dan 8:9-12 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Daniel chapter 8 interprets itself beginning at Daniel 8:19.
Dan 8:19-25 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. 20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. 24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
About the Beast: In the Bible beasts represent Gentile ruled governments; nations, unions, empires, and world empires. The final beast is the next world empire. I think that Daniel chapter 7 describes three Unions that combine to form the next world empire. Four kings conspire together to form the next world empire. Three kings from the three Unions. I think that the first three kings are from England, Russia, and one king from a newly formed Middle Eastern Union. The fourth king may be the king over the next world empire. Walid Shoebat has a different view on this. He sees the “beast” as an Islamic Union. I think that a new Islamic Union will combine under a common government with the EU and the new Russian Union.

Thank you Nathan. Good job looking to Isaiah for the identity of Mystery Babylon.
