At least in the case of the two separate events of the Ezekiel 38-39 and the final rebellion in Revelation 20:7-10

Prophecy is partial and incomplete. That is why the arguments are disjointed causing us to fall into circular logic. Prophecy before Christ can be nebulous, that is why I stick to the book or Revelation and it's predecessor the book of Daniel.

Seems to me that you stick to a whole lot of world-derived claims about the Maitreya. Way to much spec for me.

The Bible is not an encyclopedia answer book. Many prophecies are really just the introduction of a theme that must be further explored by real world events as they unfold. look how little the Jews gathered about the role of Jesus Christ from the 300 prophecies concerning Him. "Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!" I Corinthians 13:9. "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel 12:4

Daniel 12:9 ...for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

So to a select few, understanding of the prophecies will be revealed.

Seems like the only way to really understand prophecy is to have a broad historical overview of the world, both ancient and modern times. Coupled with information that is kept up to date from many different cultures. Otherwise it is hit and miss random speculation that is out of touch with the real world.
