Probably the most common error made in interpreting Bible prophecy is attempting to interpret the symbolic portions of these prophecies without taking into account the explicitly stated portions.
We (almost) all agree that the Bible is a unified whole, and that we cannot correctly interpret any part of the Divine Word without considering the rest of what God has said about the subject under consideration. But very few seem to even be aware of many explicitly stated details of what God has said He will do at the time He returns to this earth.
This series of articles is an attempt to address this problem. It reviews five battles or campaigns distinctly spelled out in the prophetic scriptures as occurring after the Lord returns, with the scriptures that clearly state these details. It also reviews events occurring between and after these battles that help to understand the battles themselves and how we can know the order in which they will occur.
It is important to understand that these articles are not based on interpretations of the meanings of deep, mysterious statements of scripture. They are rather based on explicitly stated prophecies made in plain ordinary language. Thus, there articles are not a product of a fertile imagination, but a review of what God has expressly said He will do when He returns to this earth.
