What does Tribe teach about bible prophecy?
Drawn from the messages where it was actually addressed: the words said from the front, the passages taught, and where to hear the whole thing.
At Tribe, the teaching on bible prophecy is rooted in the conviction that the biblical texts describing the end times and the future of Israel are not passages to avoid but to press into. Brian Hunter has built extended series around walking the congregation through what Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles actually said, tracking the thread from the ancient world into the present moment and forward toward what is still to come. The teaching holds that prophecy is not given to produce anxiety but clarity, and that the movement from fear toward expectation is one that happens when people stop avoiding hard passages and start asking honest questions of them.
A recurring frame in this teaching is what Brian calls the principle of the biggest hook: the most compelling narrative in a room tends to collect the most belief, but compelling and true are not the same thing. Applied to prophetic passages about Israel, the nations, and the return of Jesus, the congregation has been asked repeatedly to examine where they actually hang their beliefs and whether that hook can bear the weight. Brian says, "Just because it's louder doesn't mean it's true." That applies to popular political narratives about the Middle East, to theological positions that dismiss Israel's ongoing biblical significance, and to end-times frameworks absorbed more by cultural noise than by careful reading of the text.
Across the Unbreakable series and the Hanging Your Hat on God's Truth series, specific prophetic texts have received sustained attention. Matthew 24, Zechariah 12, Ezekiel 38-39, Daniel 9-11, and passages from Revelation have all been opened and worked through in conversation with the congregation. Brian has argued that the hostility directed at Israel across centuries is not random or merely political but has a spiritual root traceable through scripture, and that the return of Jesus is the horizon toward which all of it moves. The whole arc of the teaching invites people to hold prophetic scripture not as a puzzle to be decoded but as a story to be inhabited with confidence.

The passage taught · Ezekiel 28
1 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
3 behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
4 by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
