Whats the most common misconception about end-times prophecy?
A common misconception is that all biblical prophetic language is to be taken at absolute face value, that is, a “hyper-literalism.” Such an approach is wrong because it fails, at least, to take into account the various literary genres in which the prophecies are found. For example, someone may mistakenly expect everything in the book of Revelation to find a literal fulfillment. Everything in Revelation will be fulfilled, but the genre indicates that not everything will be fulfilled as portrayed in the visions.
