Day 233: Putting Together Prophecy

Many, many years ago when I was still in the British Army, a baby Christian, I read a statement by Maya Pearlman. He said, “When you want to interpret biblical prophecy, it’s like putting together the parts of a body. Don’t start with the left hand or the right hand, because you don’t know how to fix the rest of it. There’s one place to start,” he said, “that’s the spine. When you get the spine in place, everything can fit into it.” And he said, “The spine is the last great discourse of Jesus which is recorded in three different gospels, in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. If you’re really grounded, there then you have something that you can attach the rest off the body to.”
