This was a free download from NetGalley in exchange for a written review. 

This was a 30-day study over the events of the end time calendar. Dr. Jeremiah covered in 30 days the major events surrounding the end of the age. He covered such things as the Rapture, the Antichrist, the Tribulation, the Day of the Lord, the Seventy Weeks, Armageddon, the fall of Babylon, the Millennium, and many others. Understanding Biblical Prophecy is not intended to cover each of these topics exhaustively, but, rather, to impact the learners living for where they are in their lives now.  

The study is divided into four sections. These include context, reflect, apply, and ahead. In the context section, Dr. Jeremiah sets up the study with background information or details regarding the study topic. It is a short section serving as an introduction to the study. The reflect section consists of four questions intended to drive the study deeper into God’s word and give the learner time to reflect on the content of the study. The apply section also consists of four questions, and these are meant for the learner to apply the study to their own life. How the study can be applied to individual lives today. The ahead section is a summary of the lesson and ends with promise and hope and a glimpse ahead of the next lesson. This format is easy to follow and provides depth in individual or group study. Each study contains a box at the top containing a verse box, and the end of each study contains a closing verse box and a quote from the day’s lesson.  

Questions are thoughtful. The digital version allows availability to answer within the guide itself which is something I had not encountered with a digital study guide, but found to be a great feature. The learner can enter thoughts and answers directly into the guide without needing to have an extra journal, unless of course that is desired. The time needed to complete each day depends on the learner’s time needed to complete the questions for reflection and application but should run fifteen to thirty minutes on average.  

I enjoy Dr. Jeremiah’s publications, and this was no exception. I would gladly recommend this study to anyone who is new to a study of eschatology. This study, Understanding Biblical Prophecy, provides a wonderful introduction to the study of last days with a balanced approach to personal reflection and application.  

I would rate Understanding Biblical Prophecy by Dr. David Jeremiah 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this study to anyone over the age of 16 only because of the level of learning. My hope is that anyone who participates in this study grows more in their understanding of the last days and that their faith will become more certain as we wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

All for One
