Every headline about Israel sends the prophecy charts back up on the wall, and every war in the Middle East gets matched to a verse. Some of those matches are real, some are wishful thinking, and some are the kind of speculation Jesus himself warned against. Signs of the Times closes the Demonology Study Series by taking three of the most-quoted prophetic passages — Ezekiel 38 and 39, Zechariah 12 through 14, and Matthew 24 — and walking through them verse by verse in the Hebrew and Greek, in their context: who was speaking, to whom, and about what. Unusually, the book gives its summary of findings up front — what is certain, what is strong, and what is disputed or beyond the evidence — so you can watch every claim earn its rating as you go.

Each passage gets the same three passes. First the text, section by section: Gog’s coalition named and identified as honestly as the evidence allows, including the Hebrew of Ezekiel 38:2 — the Rosh question — examined word by word, and the eerie arithmetic of chapter 39: seven years of burning weapons, seven months of burial; Jerusalem as a burdensome stone; the Olivet Discourse from the disciples’ question to the unknown day. Then, and only then, today’s headlines are allowed near the text, in a current-events alignment audit dated October 2026: Persia is Iran, and Iran is at war with Israel — does that align, and how far? What about “when my people of Israel dwelleth safely,” the bystanders Sheba, Dedan, and Tarshish, the nations’ diplomacy and “peace and safety,” wars and rumours of wars, and the gospel preached in all the world? Each alignment is tested and rated openly. Then the strongest alternative readings get their turn at full strength: Ezekiel fulfilled in antiquity, Ezekiel as symbol, Ezekiel as Revelation 20; Zechariah fulfilled in the Maccabean era or in AD 70; the preterist case for Matthew 24 stated as strongly as its own defenders state it — and the futurist answer, and the mediating view between them.

The honest answers include uncomfortable ones: the popular claim about “Rosh” in Ezekiel 38 has no linguistic basis, Jesus forbids using wars as proof the end has arrived, and no one knows the day or the hour, by Christ’s own word. The book closes with the honest ledger — certain, strong, disputed, beyond the evidence — and a pastoral word. Not hype, not date-setting, not fear: the text, the headlines, and exactly what we can and cannot say. Read it before the next headline hits, and you will have the tools to audit the chart on the wall for yourself.
