We're glad you decided to visit our exciting website.  Here you can unlock ancient mysteries of end-time Bible prophecy with our FREE ...

On this site you will find the Appointed Times & Seasons Calendar and 30 fact-filled lessons on the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation from Focus On The Prophecies Ministry. You are about to embark on a great spiritual adventure.

These are not a run-of-the-mill Bible series.  The lessons come to you based on a quarter of a century of prayerful and determined focus into God's end-time predictions. Prophecy is like a puzzle with many pieces, which pieces must be collected from their scattered locations in the Hebrew Scriptures and pieced together, one by one, until there is a completed picture that will match the events of our troubled world. 

Many of the pieces (prophetic insights) have been neglected or misapplied by the shop-worn popular views of our day.  However, very soon people will run in a mad dash to the neglected books of Daniel and Revelation... looking, hoping, searching and praying for God's direction in the midst of great chaos.

Over the last two decades, through the efforts of individual students of prophecy prayerfully searching the Word and sharing their ideas, a picture has been emerging that will help answer some of the toughest questions that will be asked during the dreadful last days--inquiries of who, what, when, where, why and how long? This has been God's design all along... that what has been hidden from generations past would be revealed to the last generation in full living color. For God has promised the final generation will discover the prophetic treasures hidden for thousands of years, buried in the symbols and numbers within the ancient writings of the chosen Hebrew prophets. 

Won't you join in that exciting journey of discovery with us?  Students of prophecy come from all walks of life and various religious persuasions... Protestant, Catholic and Messianic Judaism.  Although we do not agree on every detail, we surely have the same mind: we want to know God's final plan and to see the coming of the Messiah in our lifetime.  We believe that day is fast approaching! 

Having said this, the views expressed on this prophecy website are those of the author, and the author only.  However, what you find here is the collective insights gained from personal study, and from individuals and resources God has enlightened in recent years by His Spirit. The learning never stops. If some or all of what is expressed here offers some valuable insight into the last days, and thereby draws you closer to our Savior knowing that time is short, to God be the glory.

Three Primary Principles

This ministry is established on three overriding principles.

1. Daniel's four momentous visions (Daniel chapters 7-12), which have traditionally been applied to historical episodes, are instead a foretelling of events about the end and therefore should be examined for their apocalyptic insights to the same degree as the book of Revelation.

2.  Revelation is the key that unlocks Daniel's sealed scroll-- an unsealing promised to the last generation.  The Apocalypse is, in reality, a commentary on Daniel's predictions; therefore, both books should be merged as one presentation.

3. Daniel and Revelation reveal time periods which have been examined and debated for many centuries, but which will be understood in the last days.  When merged as one and aligned to God's Festivals, a calendar of events and time lines comes into focus, which will guide God's people past almost overwhelming deceptions. The "times and dates" (Acts 1:6-7, NIV), or "times [and] the seasons" (KJV), which have been hidden from past generations, will be brought into view at God's determined time as an instrument of grace and direction for those who will live during the appointed time of the end and who are searching into the revelations of Jesus (Revelation 1:1-3).

We cannot wait until the impending disasters to study Daniel and Revelation. For many, that will be too late. I appeal to you to join us in search of Bible prophecy by beginning with the Insights In Prophecy Bible Discovery Series Introduction.

The Literal Interpretation

Kevin Swift believes at this critical junction in history, as we near the time of the end, we can understand the books of Daniel and Revelation as never before.  The prophetic mysteries contained in these two books, merged with Jesus' Mount of Olive discourse on the last days (Matthew 24), can be unraveled by looking at the prophecies through their real life "literal" language and meaning.  This stands in contrast to "spiritualizing away" important predictions or forcing the "days" of prophecy to be turned into "years", which masks the true meaning and original intent of the Hebrew writers. 

A famous man, himself a student of Bible prophecy, many years ago penned a prediction which no doubt is becoming a reality:  "About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn attention to the prophecies of the Bible, and insist on their literal interpretation in the midst of much clamor and opposition."   Sir Isaac Newton (A.D. 1643-1727)

Kevin has written as simply as he can.  In the technical sense, he is not a scholar, nor does he write in deep intellectual languages.  But that is not to infer that these lessons are not scholarly.  Much of the writing on prophecy is either highly sensational with little biblical basis, or simply a reflection of popular views, repeating what others have been teaching for decades.
