Prophecy Conference


Some of the resources we purchased at the Prophesy Conference.

A couple of weeks ago, our family attended a prophecy conference featuring Dr. Jimmy DeYoung. Only Daddy was able to attend the first session, but the rest of us joined him for the other two. It was quite fascinating!

Listening to Dr. DeYoung was very interesting because he lived in Jerusalem for 18 years as a fully credentialed journalist. He is very knowledgeable about Middle Eastern culture and history, particularly that of the Jews. He has also memorized an incredible amount of scripture and can quote dozens of verse references at a time when discussing end-times prophesy.

During the nights we were there, Dr. DeYoung talked about the chronology of the tribulation; how people groups like the Muslims play into the end times; from where the Antichrist will likely come; who the 2 witnesses will be (he believes them to be Elijah and Enoch), and what the new heaven and the new earth will be like.

The conference definitely caused me to think a lot about my view of eschatology and why I hold those views. Although we didn’t agree with all of Dr. DeYoung’s interpretations, it was a very interesting conference and gave us much food for thought!
