Biblical Theology
A Response to the Criteria for Pretribulation Imminence (Pt. 1 of 4)
I will address the interpretive criteria that pretrib interpreters have used in order to determine whether a biblical passage teaches imminence. Wayne A. Brindle gives four general criteria that have been used to establish imminence theology in pretribulation literature.[1] Incidentally, Brindle does not give any explanations for his four criteria for imminence. This is a […]

This is not surprising since Peter was one of the main disciples that Jesus taught the Olivet Discourse to directly. In this episode, I covered what Peter taught on how we should order our […]
Craig Blaising on Premillennialism in a nutshell
Christ comes in 19:11 and judges the nations who fornicated with Babylon, who consolidated their loyalty with the beast, and who gathered to war against Christ. He casts the beast and false prophet into the lake of fire. He imprisons the devil. He raises the martyrs murdered by Babylon and the beast. He and his […]

Many interpreters miss this main point. Further, there is the question of what is Jesus trying to teach with his delay of his parousia? Jesus teaches that we will know the season of his […]
“I stopped believing in God after pastoring a megachurch”
The point below made by Steve Hays can also be said of believers in the church who do not have a solid biblical foundation in eschatology and thus will be unprepared when the Antichrist’s great tribulation arrives. https://triablogue.blogspot.com/2018/09/i-stopped-believing-in-god-after.html I don’t know if this is worth commenting on, but it’s getting lots of buzz: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-nE-zrIhKc A […]
Models of Premillennialism (Book Notice)
Models of Premillennialism by Sung Wook Chung and David Mathewson Purchase the book on kindle or paperback The meaning of “the millennium”–the thousand-year reign of Christ spoken of in Revelation 20–has been controversial for much of the church’s history, and even the main perspectives on the matter turn out to be more variegated than […]
The ‘Thousand Years’ Reference in Revelation 20 Indicates a Period of Time
Last week I responded to an objection that the thousand years reference in the book of Revelation is not literal. I want to address a similar objection. But this time it is not an objection by amillennialists. Premillennialists and amillennialists agree with each other that the thousand years reference denotes a temporal period, that is, a […]
Pretrib Bill Salus Contradicts Pretrib Billy Crone on Prophecy Watchers (Video)
A few weeks back Gary Stearman host of Prophecy Watchers interviewed pretrib teacher Billy Crone about his book on the seals of Revelation where Crone takes the typical pretrib interpretation that the seals are part of the day of the Lord’s wrath. (I have written a refutation to Crone on his flawed interpretation of the […]
Pretribulational teachers add ANOTHER dispensation to human history in order to protect imminence theology against prewrath eschatology
All theologians believe the Bible teaches that human history is made up of a variety of dispensations where God works in a special redemptive mode and epoch. What is debated, however, is the number of dispensations and the nature of them. I believe Paul outlines at least four fundamental dispensations (oikonomia) in human history in […]
