Mike was really cryptic about his end time beliefs. It was always a mystery what his thoughts were on most things about prophecy, but he did hint a a few things.
well, he’s not presenting himself. he’s presenting what he believes about the scripture. it’s funny, though. i think he was abundantly clear. 1. no current systematic way of approaching prophecy is adequate. 2. none of us are getting away with anything. 3. prophecy has been fulfilled, but not all of it, and the time it takes is the time it tales. and those perspectives make sense if you know that prophecy can only be understood after it is fulfilled. i personally believe we keep doing the same dastardly things, and we keep getting punished, and each time we’re punished, it’s worse than the last because we’re still living with the past judgements, and the new judgements pile on top of the old ones. for instance: consider: the apostasy has already occurred. just read those letters in the revelation. the saints were overcome by the roman church, tortured and killed. they killed more christians in one day (france before the reformation) than rome did in three and a half centuries (there’s that number). then, from nicaea to the reformation is 1260 years (that number in a different form). the pope uses the same name for himself as caesar, who is named and shamed in the revelation. he committed fornication with the kings of the earth. the abomination of desolation is human sacrifice, which priests do every time they say mass. then people drink human blood and eat human flesh. and they take it very literally. was it ezekiel who said: your sacrifices are an abomination to me? and christians who were supposed to be the salt of the earth are reveling in its destruction. most people are going to hell, and it’s not the way God wants it, but christians revel in that too, saying “not me!” that’s not the way God wants us to be. so, the tribulation has been on since we killed yeshua, the anointed of God. read daniel about the messiah who will destroy the temple. the yeshua you might worship says he did that in the gospels. they were written after that happened, btw. he at first affirmed, then broke the covenant, came in peace to bring war, declared himself God and stopped the daily,. it’s too clear, but as in the revelation says, people don’t see it. i don’t mean to pontificate. 🤍💭 david
When Israel is being called by the name “ Jacob “ it means they are in their sinful character. The name Israel is when they follow God. So Jacob goes into the great Tribulation because they are sinners/
Oh how I miss you Mike and the passions you could cut loose.
Fantastic! Praise God. Bless you dr. Heiser 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

Jdg 21:3 They called out, "Why, Yahweh, God of Israel, has this happened to Israel, that one of our tribes should be missing today?"
already but not yet, none of us are getting away with anything.
