Research sources & provenance (2)
Sources are recorded to show where a claim came from and to distinguish source authority from the Explorer's own editorial judgment. A source rating is not a claim of infallibility, and a respected Christian source may still contain interpretation-specific conclusions.

Methodology / framework
Used as a secondary research framework for identifying and classifying biblical prophecy claims. Scripture references and editorial classifications remain part of the Explorer review process.
Boundaries / limitations
This source is supporting research, not an infallibility claim. Individual interpretations and fulfilment classifications remain subject to independent Scripture-based review.
