In this video series, I consider how the American strike on Iran in support of Israel has caused a fresh spate of prophetic drug-taking amidst prognostications of Armageddon and WWIII. I look at Rapture Fever, that Jesus failed to return in 1988 and the broad contours of End Time theological perspectives, Jesus’ main future facing dialogue on the End Times in Matthew 24-25 and the Book of Revelation.
