Christian believers are at odds with one another. We all read the Bible and keep the Commandments.  Why do we understand the Prophesies so differently?

My approach is to read the prophesies literally, unless they are obviously metaphorical; describing something not known in ancient times, but what is possible to figure out from our modern knowledge.
I am also a studier of history, so I fairly well know what has happened and what is yet to be fulfilled.

As for the Jewish State of Israel, the whole concept and realization of that entity is a Satanic construct. Jesus said it would happen, Matthew 24:32, but He never said it was from God.
The Zionist Congress, headed by Theodore Hertzel, were mostly all atheists and their Jewish State of Israel was founded on communist principals. Today it is a secular state, run just as every other democracy, with many beliefs having a say in State politics. Judaism; with its denial of Jesus is no better than Islam.

But what really astounds me, is how people ignore the many prophesies that clearly state the virtual demise of Jewish Israel. Which will happen at the Sixth Seal, the next prophesied event. Zephaniah 1:14-18, Hosea 4:3, ++
Isaiah 22:1-14; is one of the best prophesies about this forthcoming Day. It describes how they rush about, terrified; as they see their doom approaching. Ezekiel 7:14-20 & 22:1-8, Amos 2:4-5, Jeremiah 25:30-38
What will trigger the Lord to act on His terrible Day of fiery wrath, is told us in Isaiah 22:6, where Iran and all the Islamic entities will commence an attack onto the holy Land, something that is only possible now, using nuke missiles, as Zechariah 5:1-11, Psalms 7:12-16 and Psalms 83 tell us, and with the result of their surprise attack.
This scenario will happen; it is what the Bible says. If we reject it, then what else of the Bible is wrong and can we trust it for anything?

 As is so comprehensively prophesied, the entire Middle East will be virtually depopulated in the forthcoming Day of the Lords fiery wrath. Zephaniah 1:14-18, Jeremiah 10:18, Amos 1 & 2:1-5, 2 Peter 3:7, Revelation 6:12-17, +
Isaiah 29:1-4 says it very well and tells us that just a few, possibly a thousand or so Christian  Jews, will survive by hiding underground. That remnant will be joined by their Christian brethren and all will live in all of the holy Land. Jeremiah 50:4-5, Isaiah 62:1-5, Romans 9:24-27

The belief of a general Jewish Redemption, is an immutable tenet of the 'rapture to heaven' theory. Just as there is no scriptural evidence of God taking the Church to heaven, nowhere is it said that Jews will have any prominence in the end times or later. Both ideas are false teachings and will not happen.

Another way of viewing the Jewish State of Israel, is they constitute the visible 'Israel'. The Satanic hatred of Ishmael and his descendants is directed toward the Jewish Israelis, rather than toward the real Israelites of God, the Christian peoples of every tribe, race, nation and language. Revelation 5:9-10

The amazing Plans of God are beyond our human comprehension; He is working toward His ultimate goal: to obtain a people who have freely chosen to believe in Him and to be with Him for Eternity.
We have quite a way to go yet, some very hard times of testing and the proving of our faith, as many have done before us.
But great and wonderful are the Blessings and rewards promised to those who hold fast to their faith and trust unconditionally in His protection. 

It is plain from verses like Isaiah 42:18-20, that the Lord has placed over people, a veil of inability to understand the Prophesies. Pastors are the worst affected, of the dozen or so that I have tried to discuss the prophesies with, they all not only know nothing about them, but they refuse to know anything.
I see this as part of Gods plan, He actually wants most people to be surprised and shocked when He takes action. It will be the great test of our faith. 1 Peter 4:12

And let me say, that I will be surprised and shocked as well, although at least I will know what happens, comes from the Lord.
I read the graphic descriptions of the Lords Day of fiery wrath, and try to comprehend it all. But what will happen, is so far out from anything any of us has experienced before, a full understanding is impossible for us.
