Even though I have read through the whole Bible dozens of times and have pursued resources to better understand the context of its books and passages, I have previously been hesitant to pursue the topic of end times prophecy because it seemed that there were so many different camps with interpretations using speculation. I would rather study what God actually gave us rather than spending time listening to people’s ideas on what God did not give us. I have been thankful to find resources that add insight using the whole of Scripture without speculation. Those resources are below for anyone else who would like to better understand Bible prophecy as well as the signs of our times through the lens of Bible prophecy, but would also like to stay grounded in what God actually teaches in Scripture.
