This evidence clearly supports the prewrath position and contradicts pretribulationism. Pretribulational interpreters attempt to argue that Paul in 2 Thess 2:3 teaches that the “apostasy” and “the revelation […]
Pseudo-Ephraem Is NOT a Pretribulation Document
Pretribulationists are fond to cite Pseudo-Ephraem as support for a pretrib rapture. Charles Cooper has written the following article (Pseudo-Ephraem), which reveals that the author actually places the return of Jesus for the Church after the Antichrist has already arrived, not before. This document is also a teachable example for pretribs. The MO for how […]
The SAME DAY Noah Entered the Ark, the Flood Began – NOT Seven Days Later!
On occasion I hear some pretrib teachers attempt to argue for a gap of time between the rapture and the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel, which they wrongly equate with the Day of the Lord’s wrath. They do this to try to get around the “Before the Day of the Lord” passages […]
Pretrib J. D. Farag’s Feeble Faith CONTRASTED with the Bold Faith of Iranian Women
All prewrath is teaching is that there will be an unprecedented persecution of Christians just before Jesus returns. And yet, this message is so offensive to many pretribs that they feel compelled to write books against prewrath, calling it heresy, “Satanic,” and even likening our persecution theology to wife beating! Of course there are more […]

Why the Greek in John 7:51 and Mark 3:27 Supports Prewrath in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 that the Apostasy and the Antichrist Will FIRST [Proton] Happen BEFORE the Day of the Lord
Pretribulational interpreters attempt to argue that Paul in 2 Thess 2:3 teaches that the “apostasy” and “the revelation of the man of lawlessness” will happen “during” the day of the Lord and not before it. But the Greek does not support such an interpretation. Rather, we shall see it clearly supports the prewrath interpretation that […]

The Noahic, Lot, and Thief Illustrations CONTRADICT Pretribulationism
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage—right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just […]
David Rosenthal on Revelation 6–7 (Prewrath Video)
This is a helpful summary of what prewrath teaches on Revelation 6–7. While I view the fourth seal as the cause of the persecution and resultant martyrdom of the saints depicted in the fifth seal during the Antichrist’s great tribulation, David Rosenthal’s summary articulates a consistent, coherent picture of the progression of events in Revelation […]
Is an ‘Imminent Rapture’ a Sanctifying Agent?
Answer: First, the Bible never teaches an imminent return of Jesus, let alone that God uses it to sanctify believers. Imminent death, yes, but not an imminent rapture. Second, Jesus in his Olivet Discourse teaches quite the opposite. He teaches that because his return is delayed with intervening events, he warned of the temptation for […]
