Sorry if this has been posted in the past--but I was wondering which sites everyone considered "good" or "legitmate" prophetic/prophetic news sites were. Just trying to expand my reading and studying time on the subject. I know about Van Impe,et al, but not sure I trust the intent of these guys.
Thanks in advance!
Here's an interesting site:
http://www.apostasywatch.com/
And another:
http://www.fulfilledprophecy.com/
http://www.endtime.com/radio.asp
This is the website for the radio show "Politics and Religion". Irvin Baxter speaks from the Post-Tribulation view point, which some may agree or disagree with, but it is a news show that looks at events going on in the world today and how they may fit into Bible prophecy.

Rapture Ready news. A website that collects news item of possible end time events in the news today. their main sight is at http://www.raptureready.com/
Thanks so much! Looks like much good reading for hours!
Thanks so much, Bard!
I highly recommend Rapture Ready!
Thanks, Gipper
Thank you, thank you.
Will do, thanks.
I have to say that it was dispensationalists that got me out of a very legalist church. While I took to the disp eagerly I noticed some disturbing things about their "prophecy" studies.
1. the fig tree parable does not mean the end times. Christ was merely showing them that they look for signs of season changes, they needed to look for the signs he gave them concerning the destruction of the temple.
2. The map of the Holy Land in the 1000 year reign. It streched from the Nile, in some books or the River of Egypt (wadi el arish) tothe Euphrates east.
If that was the Holy land then Moses was already there while in Egypt. there was no need to invade Cannan as they were already there. the generation that was to die in the desert were denied enterance to the Holy Land, but by these maps they were already there. Moses was forbidden to enter the Holy Land but got to look into it. the maps show he was already there.
4. too much hinges on the book of revelation. Yet the early Christians considered Revelation fulfilled by the time of Costantine. Take away revelation and their whole prophecy program collapses.
5.John R. Rice has an entire different end time doctrine than Curtis T. Hudston of the Independent Baptists.
so, i'm moving toward a more traditional Calvanist posititon. I no longer use Schofield's bible but use a KJV ( I was raised with it and understand it.)
I have found that the Southern Baptist conference has never accepted Schofield but his bible has taken the baptist churches by storm. Before him they were the equivalent of "dipping Presbeterians".
It is no wonder that the late Duane Edward Spencer of San Antonio (Word Keys Which Unlock Scriptures)moved away from the Disp position and toward traditional Calvanism way back about 1975.
You might give the 'New King James' a try. It's my current favorite.

I ment to say I use a KJV with only margin notes (Cambridge or Oxford ordered from Scotland). I was raised with it and understand it. I also have the NKJV and half a dozen others I refer to when I hit a tough spot in the KJV. I have nothing against SOME of the newer translations.
I have also gotten rid of most of my commentaries except for Matthew Henry's.
It is a whole different bible when you don't have an editor trying to tell you his version of what it means.
This is a good time to bump this thread.
This one is the main one I check these days.

The Elijah List has some good docs but the ounder is soooooooooooooo intense in a Madison Avenue sort of advertising way with all his ads it REALLY turns me off. He refuses to change it claiming, accurately, that it supports many unwed mothers/single parent families etc. I think God might bring in MORE support without such obnoxious, heavy handed advertising but the founder won't hear such exhortations. So, I mostly ignore his site.
I think his heart is mostly right. I do think he could learn a bit about such things.
Many of you interested in this thread MIGHT be interested in this one:

PING LIST.
I keep reading your post over and over. I am not clear what you mean about the Holy Land.
***I keep reading your post over and over. I am not clear what you mean about the Holy Land.***
Basicly it is this..
God gave Abraham the land from the Wadi-El-Arish (River of Egypt) in the south.
Then the SE border was Edom.
To the East it was the Jordan River.
In the north, the area to the Euphrates River.
It was just this slice along the Medetrranian.
Modern "prophecy teachers" give Israel a bigger slice.
From the Nile straight East to the Euphrates.
And in the North, from the sea to the Euphrates.
This would give their version of Israel all of Jordan, Syria, Iraq and parts of Arabia.
Larkin's dispensational books show it from the Wadi-El-Arish straight East to the Euphrates, again an error.
The limits of Israel are clearly defined several times in Scripture. It should be noted that two tribes decided to take their portion East of the Jordan after they destroyed the kings in that area. This is the ONLY part that is outside the Holy Land.
Look at it this way. If Moses was to lead the people into the Holy Land, according to some maps they were already there East of the Nile. In Sinai they were already there. Moses was forbidden to enter the Holy Land but he was allowed to look into it. if that area east of the Jordan River is the Holy Land then he was already there.
Deu 34:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that [is] over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
Deu 34:2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
Deu 34:3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
Deu 34:4 And the LORD said unto him, This [is] the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see [it] with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
Deu 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
Deu 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
MOSES WAS NOT IN THE HOLY LAND as modern prophecy maps show.
Check out JOSHUA, CHAPTERs 13-21 for the distribution and limits of the land.
Have long thought this an interesting topic. But I haven't extensively searched it out.
Then there's the whole NEW JERUSALEM thing which would be as big as the bulk of the Continental lower 48 United States.
Will it constantly hover after the fashion of a Go'auld mother ship on SG1?
Will it be for the new Heaven and new Earth when there is no sea?
