imho,
Reading Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Psalms Mat 24 and Revelation regularly in this era is just good horse sense. Lots of things will become more obvious once things predicted have past. The cryptic language becomes clearer.
Many things are not that cryptic, however.
Israel became a nation again in a day in 1948 as Scripture predicted.
Jerusalem is a heavy weight around the neck of the whole world as predicted. Russia is allied with Syria and Persia against Israel as predicted.
The King of the East may be China--it is certainly allied with Persia against Israel . . . also within such predictions. But India and the -stans are also against Israel.
Israel will likely still be disciplined as Scripture indicates--for foresaking her close relationship with Almighty God. She is currently rather rabidly secular over all--with minor exceptions.
Damascus will be obliterated for good.
Gog and Magog will be essentially obliterated in a war with Israel and never more rise to any significance.
All creation will observe what rebellion against God and relationship with God result in . . . in terms of consequences.

Israel grows less secular each year, btw...Calling it rabidly secular today is to have the Israel of the 60s and 70s in your mind...lots secular, but not what it once was.
Thank you. These are things I always have to look up. It's heartening to have a friend who has the knowledge to share.
