The individuals listed below are
Christians (past and present) who are passionate about their faith. Some
are recognized pastors, scholars and teachers of Bible prophecy and eschatology
(study of end-times) who also belong to various denominations. Also
listed here are those from pseudo-Christian organizations
(so-called Christian groups that adhere to doctrines outside mainstream
Christianity). This comprehensive list of individuals is meant to help
you identify sound teaching on Bible prophecy and prophecy topics only.
Some have devoted their entire lives to teaching Bible prophecy. Not all
are always in agreement, and not all are sound in their doctrines.
Therefore, study for yourselves, and use this as a guide only.
You will see the terms pre-millennial, pre-tribulation, post- tribulation and preterist used here. They are simply this:
The pre-millennial and pre-tribulation views are the most widely held in Bible prophecy. These views are the most literal approach to prophecy, and are sometimes called the futurist view, which claims there will be a literal future 7-year tribulation period followed by a 1000-year reign of Jesus Christ on earth. As well, the rapture of the Church will precede the tribulation period, and is a separate event from the Second Coming of Jesus Christ at the end of the tribulation period. Additionally, the Church and Israel have distinct and unique roles in the end-times, thus the events described in the book of Revelation are still to come. These positions are often attacked by liberal denominations and the cults, while a majority of conservative denominations accept these views of the end-times.
I welcome any additions and/or updated information, and your comments. Please email me, and if you disagree, that's ok, but please don't resort to name-calling in your email.
Though there are many good prophecy
teachers, some should be avoided. With that in mind, remember that we are
commanded to pray for those whom we take issue with. Please don't confuse
this list with those who claim to be prophets or those with prophetic revelations,
dreams, visions or other so-called inspired prophecies.
The below "apple" rating is
solely for the teaching of Bible prophecy and prophecy topics, not for
individual ministries or personal lives of those listed. You might find
some listed here who teach sound Bible prophecy, yet to support other doctrines
you disagree with. Their teaching on other important Bible doctrines
should not necessarily be confused with the comments here. Use the Bible
as your guide, just as Paul described the Bereans in Acts 17:11, "Now
these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the
word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these
things were so." "Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore
get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding."
Proverbs 4:7.

You will see the terms pre-millennial, pre-tribulation, post- tribulation and preterist used here. They are simply this:
The pre-millennial and pre-tribulation views are the most widely held in Bible prophecy. These views are the most literal approach to prophecy, and are sometimes called the futurist view, which claims there will be a literal future 7-year tribulation period followed by a 1000-year reign of Jesus Christ on earth. As well, the rapture of the Church will precede the tribulation period, and is a separate event from the Second Coming of Jesus Christ at the end of the tribulation period. Additionally, the Church and Israel have distinct and unique roles in the end-times, thus the events described in the book of Revelation are still to come. These positions are often attacked by liberal denominations and the cults, while a majority of conservative denominations accept these views of the end-times.
The post-tribulation view
blends the rapture and the Second Coming into a single event at the end of the
tribulation period. Many who hold to this theological concept often
adhere to the historicist view which contends that Bible
prophecy spans the time from the end of the first century A.D. through the
Second Coming of Christ (yet future). In a nutshell, historicists
believe that the events of Revelation are a symbolic outline of Church history,
taking place over a 2000 year period of time, ending at the Second Coming.
Followers of this theology generally tend toward a more liberal and/or
allegorical view of prophecy, though some combine both literal and allegorical
viewpoints. For example, a majority of self-proclaimed prophets hold to a
post-tribulation rapture view, as do leaders of most pseudo-Christian
cults. Many liberal denominations also accept this view.
The preterist view
takes the historicist position further. Preterism contends that most, if
not all major prophetic events havealready been fulfilled in
history. The term preterist means "already
fulfilled." This view discredits the biblical importance of Israel
and those Christians who stand with Israel. This is best described as an
ecumenical view, which also contends that the book of Revelation was mostly
fulfilled in events leading up to and including the destruction of Jerusalem in
70 A.D. This position is held by many in Covenant, Reformed and Catholic
theologies. They would be most critical of this website, as they do not
usually accept a literal earthly fulfillment of Bible prophecy. This view
is closely tied to dominionism (the idea that society should be governed by the
law of God). There are other variations to this theology, such as the
"partial preterist" which hold the same beliefs as other preterists,
except for last couple of chapters in the book of Revelation, which they
suggest are yet to be fulfilled.

Late founder of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG). Prior he was
a minister in the Church of God Seventh-Day (COG7) that had splintered from
the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) church. When his teachings began to
disagree with COG7 doctrine, he started his own denomination called the Radio
Church of God, which became the WCG. The organization produced the
"Plain Truth" magazine and the "World Tomorrow" radio and
TV programs. While his theology was rooted in Seventh-Day Adventism, he
also taught the false doctrine of British-Israelism, later known as
"Armstrongism" which claims the ten "lost" tribes of
Israel were actually Anglo-Saxons. This unbiblical doctrine is not only
anti-Semitic, but wrongly contends that Jews are Israelite imposters.
He was the self-proclaimed "apostle" of the "only true church
on earth," with an emphasis on linking Bible prophecy to contemporary
world events, but with his own twist (just
as SDAs do today). He regularly predicted specific times for the return
of Christ when previous predictions failed. He claimed that he was a
fulfillment of prophecy and that he and his "church" alone were
preaching the truth. More than 30 splinter groups formed after his
death.

Prestigious defender of Seventh-Day Adventism, host of the popular

rejected by mainstream prophecy scholars and teachers. He, and other
Adventists use "bait and switch" tactics at highly-publicized
prophecy seminars (after many hours of prophetic teaching, participants are
eventually told they will receive the "mark of the beast" if they
don't convert to a Seventh-Day Adventist). Many Christians are duped by
this tactic due to their lack of Bible prophecy knowledge. These
"Revelation seminars" promote doctrines that are required knowledge
for membership or baptism in the SDA church. For example, popular
teachings are the "great whore" of Babylon in Revelation 17 &
18 is the Catholic church, and the "daughters of the whore"
are Protestant Sunday-keeping churches of today. The origins of SDA
doctrine are rooted in date setting, false prophecies and legalism.

Irvin

Has unique views of prophecy, says they are "his" theories,
and thus has many good and bad ideas. He has a correct view on Israel's
role in history, and correctly argues against preterism. He does not
believe the book of Revelation is chronological, which leads him to some
fanciful interpretations. For example, he says we are now living in the
midst of the sixth trumpet of Revelation 9, and we may soon witness the
annihilation of 2 billion people. The fifth trumpet he claims began in
1991 when Saddam Hussein (Saddam means "the destroyer") set Kuwaiti
oil fields on fire, and ended with his execution in December 2006.
Mainstream scholars consider that absurd. Even so, he still says the
7-year tribulation period is yet future. He hosts the popular radio
broadcast, "Politics & Religion," and is founder of Endtime
Ministries at endtime.com. He does not accept the doctrine of the
Trinity, and is affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church which claims
its methods are the only true way to salvation. He also rejects a
pre-tribulation rapture based on Revelation 20:4-6 which he claims is the
"first resurrection." He fails to follow the text which
clearly describes this first resurrection as being for the martyrs of the tribulation
period after Christ's Second Coming. He also believes
the two witness of Revelation chapter 11 are now here on earth, and
mistakenly thought they might be revealed in Israel during the summer of
2011.

Considered one of the most controversial revival preachers of the 20th

discernment of Bible prophecy. In early 1963 he preached a set of
sermons which he declared a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy transpired.
He later stated the following events took place over a 7-day period in
1963: Revelation 4, 5, and 10:1-7 were fulfilled; the seven seals of
Revelation were opened (not physically); the times of the Gentiles ended; the
opportunity to be saved by grace ended; and the rapture and the Second Coming
of Christ secretly occurred followed by Christ's image appearing in an
Arizona cloud. Obviously his views were distorted and riddled with

Church Age began when the State of Israel was officially formed in May of

use of numerology and allegorical interpretations of Bible prophecy are well
known. He is famous for his failed prophecy concerning the return of
Christ in September 6, 1994, and the two failed predictions of the rapture on
May 21 and October 21, 2011, along with the end of the world. Rather
than admitting he was wrong, he stated the end will come very very

Developed post-millennial preterism, a newer, often confusing view of
Bible prophecy. He once stated, "If you're familiar with the
Apostles Creed, it simply says Christ is coming again and doesn't tell us

One of the few ever booted out of the Evangelical Theological Society

to intellectualize the Scriptures and Bible prophecy, but is not

pre-tribulational, he turned against the pre-tribulation rapture view, then developed
a new confusing type of post-tribulationism called "dispensational
post-tribulationism." Now that's a mouthful.

proponent of last-days awareness and the coming rapture. His ministry
has given millions of dollars toward bringing Soviet Jews from the former
Soviet Union to Israel. In recent years Hagee has been falsely accused
of supporting "Dual Covenant Theology" which says the Jews have
their own special covenantal relationship with God and can therefore be saved
by observing the laws of the Torah. This pluralistic view is
unbiblical, and is the position of many Catholics and
non-evangelicals. A video of him denying that Jesus Christ
came to "be" the Messiah has been taken out of context as he has
repeated stated that he steadfastly believes redemption for all men comes
through Jesus Christ alone. However, he has gone overboard with
promoting Israel by associating himself with anyone who would align with his

suggesting Christians will be raptured just before the wrath of God and
Armageddon ensue. He calls pre-trib teachers "false prophets"
of the final days who mislead the elect. He states that just teaching
the pre-trib rapture position is enough compelling evidence to indict someone

A Reformed thinker and writer, he is a preterist to the core.

"rightly divided the Word of God," a similar tactic used by Mormons

position is "man-pleasing," and therefore he is a God-pleaser
because he teaches against it. He tries to disguise his acceptance of
preterism (or replacement theology-the Church replaced Israel) by calling it
"expansionist theology." He touts we are not living in the
last days according to Isaiah 9:7 and Heb. 13:20 which state "the
increase of His government will have no end, and is an everlasting
covenant." He believes the tribes of Israel are no longer with us
based on Rev. 1:7 (a verse about the Second Coming). Thus, later
descriptions of the twelve tribes in Revelation 7 and 14 are meaningless,

that are Islamic. He derives his conclusions from he says are many
scholars' misinterpretation of a prediction by Daniel to Babylonian King
Nebuchadnezzar, where Daniel describes the rise and fall of empires of the
future, leading to the end-times. Western Christians have viewed one of
those empires as Rome. He claims Rome never actually conquered Babylon
and was thus disqualified as a possibility. It had to be another empire
that rose and fell and rose again that would lead to rule of this "man

Described by some as the one of the greatest prophecy scholars who

of the appearance of a personal Antichrist, the restoration of the Jews to
Palestine, the material nature of the new heavens and new earth, and the
translation of the saints (what he called the "deathless
rapture"). He argued a twofold coming of Christ: one for His
church (the rapture) and the Second Coming with His
church. His idea of a pre-tribulation rapture was defined by initial
"firstfruits," based on the biblical principle of rewards that
promises some believers a removal prior to the tribulation, such as the
Philadelphia church, but no others. He argued the Philadelphia church
is the only one of seven churches that the Lord promises a way out of the
tribulation through an open door. "I know your deeds. See, I have
placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have
little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my
name." Revelation 3:8.

R.C.
Sproul
|
A brilliant scholar and founder of Ligonier Ministries and
ligonier.org, he is probably best known in prophecy circles for his support
of preterism. He is a "partial preterist" which claims the
events of most of the book of Revelation occurred during the destruction of
Jerusalem in 70 A.D., yet there will be a future bodily return of Jesus
Christ. A difficult, confusing model of Bible prophecy, few scholars
accept this form of eschatology which has roots in liberal covenant and
reformation theology. He, along with other scholars, authored the
Reformation Study Bible. He is a professor, pastor, teacher, conference
speaker and author. He writes against the pre-tribulation rapture
position.

Gerald
B. Stanton

A noted Bible scholar, he has been praised in several Christian
publications for his writing. Moody Monthly noted his book on the
rapture, "Kept from the Hour," stands as "one of the most
important defenses of the pre-tribulation viewpoint," and Left Behind
author Dr. Tim LaHaye has said he has worn out three copies of it. Also
a member of the Pre-Trib Research Group, he is a scholar, theologian, author
and teacher.

Ray C.

Late pastor and scholar, he is considered one of the foremost biblical
expositors of the twentieth century. A prolific author, he was
considered an authority on Bible prophecy, having taught extensively on the
subject. With a photographic memory, those close to him noted his humble
personality overshadowed any hint of a remarkableintellect. An
ardent and faithful supporter of the Jewish people and the State of Israel,
he taught on understanding the relationships between Christians and
Jews. His library can be found at raystedman.org.

Perry
Stone, Jr.
|
A powerful, charismatic prophecy teacher, he ties Jewish traditions
with current prophetic events. He asserts the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh
Hashanah) and the traditional Hebrew wedding both depict the rapture (likely
correct). His teachings are sometimes on the fringe, sometimes
confusing, other times challenging to prophecy buffs and scholars
alike. He is host of "Manna-fest" television program,
director of Voice of Evangelism ministries, and often teaches on location in
Israel during tours. He publishes "Voice of Evangelism"
magazine and produces other materials on Bible prophecy at
voiceofevangelism.org. He is an author, scholar, pastor, teacher and
convicting speaker.

a great deal to bring the topic of the rapture to the internet. He
maintains the rapture index, and has a great list of good and bad apples of
Bible prophecy. He can be seen at many prophecy conferences.

Hilton
Sutton
|
Founder of Hilton Sutton World Ministries, he is an author, pastor and
an outstanding Bible prophecy teacher. Though a respected prophecy
expert, he has stated that "new Christians don't have any valuable
input, and when they try to tell me something, I tell them to sit down and
shut up and maybe they'll learn something from me." This attitude
continues on his website at hilton-sutton.org, where it states, "He is
in great demand as a speaker for churches, Bible colleges, national and
international conventions and for radio and television audiences," and
"Hilton's over fifty-two years of study and preaching the prophecies of
the Scripture qualify him as the senior prophetic teacher of our
day." We should all be so humble.

Kevin
R. Swift
|
Founder of Focus on the Prophecies Ministries, he claims to have
seriously studied and combined the books of Daniel and Revelation from which
a time chart of events emerged, a chart never seen before. When he
discovered that time periods in the books of Daniel and Revelation merge into
a prophetic chart, he later realized the chart fit between Jewish Festivals,
which is found at focusontheprophecies.org. His beliefs are close to a
pre-wrath rapture view, but not as commonly taught. He does not see a
mass exodus of the church, but rather the mass resurrection of the saints
(since "as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment," Hebrews 9:27). This event comes at the seventh seal,
which in his view, occurs just prior to the destructive vials and trumpets
during a very short, but great tribulation period. This could best be
described as a "just-in-time rapture." He authored a book entitled
"Appointed Times & Seasons Calendar, Divine Dates of End-Time
Disaster & Deliverance" which further explains his
eschatology.
|

Paul
Thigpen
|
He is a former evangelical turned Catholic who claims to be an ex-fundamentalist
and one-time rapture advocate. He wrote a book for ordinary Catholics
looking for answers about the end-times, which attacks the pre-tribulation
rapture. He believes many unsuspecting Catholics have gotten caught in
the "rapture trap" mostly due to the "Left Behind" book
series by Dr. Tim LaHaye. He claims that many protestants, without
adequate religious training, accept LaHaye's teaching--"hook, line, and
rapture." A student of Bible prophecy will find the Catholic view
of prophecy is generally allegorical (non-literal), so therefore a literal
rapture event would be a foreign concept.

Jack
Van Impe
|
Highly intelligent with many years of teaching prophecy. He is
founder of Jack Van Impe Ministries International, and is listed as
"who's who" amongst intellectuals, is called "The Walking
Bible," and claims to have been honored with doctoral degrees from
twelve leading seminaries and Bible colleges. He is a great defender of
the pre-tribulation rapture view, but has made false predictions over the
years, and has been openly sympathetic to Catholic leaders (hence the yellow
apple). On a positive note, he rigorously defends the Bible against
false teachers of today, and he has memorized much of the Koran to show the
numerous problems in Muslim teachings about Christianity. He has also exposed
the questionable teachings of Rick Warren (emergent church), leading to a
departure from TBN where he refused to compromise his "straight
talk" about these issues. He is host of the television program,
"Jack Van Impe Presents" (with wife Rexella), publishes
"Perhaps Today" magazine, is an author, speaker, and produces
various media on prophecy topics at jvim.com.

Robert
Van Kampen
|
Late founder of the Van Kampen Merrit investment firm, he became exceedingly
wealthy and used his money to promote his version of eschatology. He
founded Sola Scriptura, and owned one of the largest private collections of
biblical manuscripts in the world. He claimed to have spent more that
10,000 hours searching the Bible to make sense of prophecy. He authored
three books after developing the "pre-wrath" theory which says the
rapture will take place just before the battle of Armageddon (almost a
post-tribulation rapture event). Though he did gain a strong following,
a majority of scholars find his work confusing and riddled with
contradictions.

|||||
Paul
Van Noy
|
Though not well known, he is a diligent dispensational teacher,
conference speaker, scholar and pastor. Dispensationalism is
distinguished by three key principles: (1) a clear distinction between
God's plan for Israel and God's plan for the Church; (2) a consistent and
regular use of a literal principle of interpretation; and (3) the
understanding of the purpose of God as His own glory rather than the salvation
of mankind only. Last days events go like this: the Rapture → the
Tribulation → Armageddon → the Day of the Lord (Second Coming of Christ with
His Saints) → the Millennium → Last Judgment → Eternity → New Heaven and New
Earth. He developed the Van Noy model of dispensations and judgments,
found at candlelightfellowship.org.

Host of the weekly syndicated television "God's News Behind The

speaker. He regularly hosts prophecy conferences with other Bible
prophecy experts (many of whom are listed on this website). He
believes, along with a growing number of prophecy scholars, that the
antichrist will be a Muslim, specifically Assyrian. However, wrongly
claims Prince EL- Hassan bin Talal of Jordan, who is the 42nd generation
direct descendant of the prophet Mohammad, is the likely future
Antichrist. As well, he sometimes zealously bashes those he disagrees
with, but is a solid teacher and energetic speaker. He is an author,
television host, pastor and director of godsnews.com.

Walter
J. Veith

He is a zoologist and scientist who correctly believes the theory of
evolution does not provide a plausible explanation of our origins.
Having written a number of books, he found through his Seventh-Day Adventist
faith that Bible prophecy plays a major role in understanding ecological
decline in the world. Along with his research which concentrates on
animal disease transferal to man, he has become an ardent student of prophecy.
When we put it all together, it's Seventh-Day Adventism all wrapped up in a
nice package. In typical SDA style, dazzling videos and lectures can be
found on his website at amazingdiscoveries.org.

John F.

Late head of Dallas Theological Seminary, probably one of the most

prolific author, teacher, professor and lecturer. He wrote several

having influenced many evangelicals. He is considered perhaps the
world's foremost interpreter of biblical prophecy. He was still

Tim
Warner
|
Founder of The Pristine Faith Restoration Society, a group of
dedicated Christians "determined to research and promote the beliefs and
practices of pristine Christianity." He is a well-studied
post-tribulationist, and argues for the post-tribulation rapture
position. He is a well-known debater against the pre-tribulation rapture
position (which he calls a "myth"), is an author, and is head of
The Post-Trib Research Center and answersinrevelation.org. With volumes
of information his views are argued well, but scholars contend he must first
discredit scriptures that indicate there will be a pre-tribulation
rapture. That, in turn, discredits his theories which do not hold up
under close scrutiny. On a positive note, he argues against preterism.

Ronald
Weinland
|
Former minister in the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), then a
minister in the United Church of God (UCG), he now heads the Church of God -
Preparing for the Kingdom of God (PKG). His church observes the
7th day Sabbath and the seven annual holy days in Leviticus 23, with a
purpose to support, educate, and warn the scattered Church that was formerly
united in the Worldwide Church of God. Several years ago he declared
himself a prophet, and then falsely predicted the end of the world in
2008. He now claims to be the pastor of God's Church
on earth, and is appointed to be God's final end-time prophet to the
world. He also claims to be one of the two witnesses of Revelation 11,
and that he will be slain in Jerusalem. More of this utter nonsense can
be found at cog-pkg.org and ronaldweinland.com.

Charles
Wheeling
|
An author and publisher, he is founder of Charles Wheeling Prophecy
Seminars. He publishes brochures, books, media, and has an email
newsletter "News From the Desk of Charles Wheeling," containing
news headlines and his views of current prophetic events. He also
produces ProphecyQuest, an online blog. He believes that the
writings of Ellen White, founder of the Seventh-Day Adventist movement, are
for our day because she believed that she was living in the last days.
He also writes against some of the prophetic teachings of White, creating
adversaries amongst fellow Adventists who claim his method of interpretation
is in direct opposition to theirs. He claims that long established
errors have prevented a correct SDA interpretation in prophecy. Modern
Bible prophecy scholars contend White was a not only a false
"prophetess," but led thousands of Christians into confusion about
Bible prophecy and the end-times.

David
Wilkerson
|
Late founder and pastor of Times Square Church in New York, he was
best known for his popular book "The Cross and the
Switchblade". He was also a prominent predictor of end-time
events. Sadly, many of his numerous doomsday predictions never came
true, making him a significant false prophet. Beginning in the 1970s, he
consistently wrote about the destruction of America. Many turned to him
for prophetic wisdom, confused over Bible prophecy vs. prophetic
predictions. Wilkerson was known to avoid Bible prophecy topics, rather
suggesting a "pan-rapture" theology, meaning "if we trust in
Jesus, it will all pan out."

Steve
Wohlberg
|
Author of several books and articles, and contributor to "Amazing
Facts," he is another misguided teacher who focuses on attacking the
pre-tribulation rapture view, even though it is widely accepted by mainstream
prophecy scholars of today. Seventh-Day Adventists believe the rapture
takes place at the end of the tribulation period, common with other groups
that teach confusing, sometimes bizarre interpretations of prophecy.
This has led him to move to a remote mountainous location in the Pacific
Northwest, where he heads whitehorsemedia.com, another SDA website focused on
their version of Bible prophecy.

Highly respected for his prophecy knowledge and Biblical acumen, he is
one of the very few Messianic Jews and prophecy scholars who tackles the
truth about UFOs, aliens, fallen angels, demons, Nephilim and their ranks.
Additionally, his scholarly articles point to the increasing fascination with
psychics, remote viewers, out of body experiences, astral projection,
abductions, the paranormal, and other occult topics. He is an author,
professor, scholar and researcher, taking to heart the reality of Ephesians
6:12.
