Who were the Old Testament prophets, Jesus, and Peter speaking to in prophecy?
The Old Testament prophets, Jesus, and Peter directed their prophecies to the nation of Israel and His Second Coming. Their words concerned Israel and Christ's return in glory, never the rapture of the Church. This distinction is essential for interpreting prophecy correctly.
