This is an excellent explanation why John 14 contradicts posttribulationism. When will the Rapture take place? Where will believers go after the Rapture? Pre-Trib Rapture, Post-Trib Rapture, or Pre-Wrath Rapture? In this video we will cover one of the most important Rapture texts in the Bible, John 14. Also check out Dr. Alan Kurschner’s books […]
Amillennialism
VIDEO: Next Year in Jerusalem
One aspect of Janet Willis’s writings has shown with clarity in her What On Earth Is Heaven Like? A Look at God’s City: New Jerusalem that interpreters have assumed a linear measurement rather than considering a cube measurement. She explains all of this in Chapter 3 of her book. If for no other reason […]
VIDEO: The Relationship Between the Second Coming and the Battle of Armageddon
It is a deep-seated assumption among many pretrib and posttrib interpreters that the Second Coming begins with the battle of Armageddon. For example, they identify Matt 24:30–31 as the same setting as Rev 19:11–21. But this is not correct. Three events associated with the Second Coming will occur before the battle of Armageddon: (1) […]
Why Premillennialism Matters (Video)
Why premillennial theology matters is an issue that every student of biblical prophecy needs to be aware of. Premillennialism teaches that at Jesus’s second coming he will deliver the righteous and judge the ungodly. Then the righteous will enter into a period—the millennium—of peace and righteousness where Jesus establishes on earth his physical reign […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/158-The_FINAL_Storm_Theophany.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedDr. Kurschner explained another good reason to understand the bowl judgments to occur after the trumpet judgments, rather than have them occurring at the same time or, for some interpreters, identifying them with each other. Recapitulatory interpreters argue that the three instances of the storm theophanies at the […]
The Narrative Logic to the Seals of the Book of Revelation
The first four seals prove the wicked deserve God’s wrath, the fifth seal promises God’s wrath, the sixth seal portends God’s wrath, the two remnants are protected from God’s wrath, and the seventh seal pronounces God’s wrath. Related to this consecutive-narrative logic is the notion of a certificate of debenture: The Seven Sealed Scroll […]
Craig Blaising on the Difference Between Israel and the Church (Video)
In this lecture, progressive dispensational theologian Craig Blaising explains why God works with Israel and the church at the same time. (See also my five part podcast series on this very topic below.) Blaising also gives an excellent explanation on the nature and relationship between Israel and the church. While Blaising maintains his pretribulationism, his […]
The Second Coming Does Not Begin with Armageddon
It is a deep-seated assumption among many pretrib and posttrib interpreters that the Second Coming begins with the battle of Armageddon. For example, they identify Matt 24:30–31 as the same setting as Rev 19:11–21. But this is not correct. Three events associated with the Second Coming will occur before the battle of Armageddon: (1) the […]
The Resurrection Occurs BEFORE Armageddon
Here are previous installments in the four-part article series, The Second Coming Does Not Begin with Armageddon: Part 1: “Matthew 24:30–31 Is Not Describing the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19:11–21.” Part 2: “The Day of the Lord’s Wrath Begins Before Armageddon” Today, I am posting Part 3 below: The Resurrection Occurs Before Armageddon […]
Matthew 24:30–31 Is NOT Describing the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19:11–21
[Today, I am starting a four-part article series, The Second Coming Does Not Begin with Armageddon. This is Part 1.] The battle of Armageddon is not the event that begins the second coming (the parousia). It is a deep-seated assumption among many pretrib and posttrib interpreters that Matt 24:30–31 is a parallel passage to […]
Social Distancing at a Cemetery (Video)
*I forgot my wind filter for my mic, so there are a few points when it is windy, but they are temporary. I explained that the tumult happening right now in society is a type of what will happen during the seventieth week of Daniel, in particular during the beginning of birth pangs and the […]
