Video: A Posttribulationist Becomes Prewrath (John 14)
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 […]
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.

Gen 6:1-4 is very intriguing. Part of what makes it so intriguing is that it’s terse and enigmatic. So that fuels pious speculation. An […]
‘In the twinkling of an eye’
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people cite “in the twinkling of an eye” as support for an imminent return of Jesus. I have chalked it up to that adage that if you hear something said over and over again, you begin to believe it, and over time it is reflexive […]
What Are the ‘Bookends’ to the Church Age?
A prophecy to consider is found in the book of Joel. After all of this I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your elderly will have revelatory dreams; your young men will see prophetic visions. Even on male and female servants I will pour […]
Did Jerome in the Latin Vulgate Understand Discessio in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as ‘Defection’ or ‘Physical Departure’?
(This is a guest post by Dr. Dean Furlong) Latin Vulgate: “ne quis vos seducat ullo modo quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum et revelatus fuerit homo peccati filius perditionis” (2 Thess 2:3) I want to thank Dr. Alan Kurschner for inviting me to write a guest post on Jerome’s translation of the Greek word apostasia […]
