Prophecy has often been misunderstood. For some, it becomes a source of anxiety. For others, a puzzle to decode or a timeline to calculate. But Scripture never presents prophecy as a tool for fear or speculation.

At Last Days Living, we approach prophecy as God intended it: a gift meant to strengthen faith, steady obedience, and anchor hope in Jesus Christ our reigning King.

This page explains the posture we take—and why.

Throughout Scripture, prophecy is not primarily about satisfying curiosity about the future. It is about shaping how God’s people live in the present.

Biblical prophecy reminds us that God is sovereign, reassures us that evil is temporary, calls us to endurance and faithfulness, and anchors our hope beyond present circumstances.

When prophecy is treated as a prediction tool, it often produces anxiety, urgency, or division. But when received as God intended, it produces confidence, steadiness, and joyful obedience.

God did not give prophecy so His people would panic. He gave it so they would persevere.

Scripture is intentionally quiet about when events will happen. This is not a gap for speculation, it is an invitation to  trust. Because of this, we avoid date-setting, proximity language, claims that “this generation” will see specific fulfillments, and interpreting current events as prophetic signals.

The heart of Christian hope is not escape, but restoration. We live for “there” – God’s Kingdom fully revealed – knowing that one day “there” is coming here with Jesus. His return means faith will become sight, weakness will give way to wholeness, grief will be healed, sin and death will finally be removed. This is why Scripture calls His return the blessed hope.

Not because we know the day –
but because we know the outcome.

This hope lightens present burdens. It gives meaning to obedience. It allows believers to endure hardship with joy rather than despair.

Books like Revelation are often treated as codes to crack. But they were written as pastoral letters to strengthen believers facing pressure, suffering, and temptation. When we read Revelation, we ask: What does this reveal about Jesus? How does this call believers to faithful living? How does this encourage endurance and hope?

• Identify modern political figures
• Predict global timelines
• Stir fear or fascination
• Map current events to prophecy

• Point to Christ’s joyful return
• See Christ exalted
• See evil defeated
• See God’s people preserved

Fear may grab attention, but it does not produce faithfulness.

Fear-based prophecy teaching often results in:

• anxiety instead of peace
• urgency instead of endurance
• obsession instead of obedience

Scripture consistently points believers away from fear and toward trust.

The return of Jesus is not meant to make us frantic.
It is meant to make us faithful and hopeful.

Our approach to prophecy leads to a simple, steady question:

How should a citizen of God’s Kingdom live faithfully today?

The answer is not found in charts or calculations, but in:

• loving God and neighbor
• remaining rooted in Scripture
• walking in fellowship
• resisting compromise
• trusting Christ’s promises

We live faithfully not because we fear being unprepared, but because we are confident in the One who reigns—and the One who is coming.

• speculation
• sensationalism
• anxiety-driven teaching

• Christ-centered hope
• steady encouragement
• joyful anticipation
• confidence rooted in God’s promises
