Every month we gain more readers and listeners to Eschatos Ministries, and it is a shame that helpful blog post articles end up crawling into the archive. So every so often I like to blow off the dust from evergreen material and highlight it again. Here is an interview of the three positions, with myself […]

I explained the significance of this question particularly how it relates to the prewrath and pretribulational debate. If it does refer to the rapture then that means […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/024-Parallels_between_Jesus_and_Paul.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI talked about the incredibly consistent teaching between Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and Paul’s Thessalonian letters on the doctrine of the second coming. I listed thirty parallels between Jesus and Paul. The pretribulational rapture position wrongly dichotomizes this teaching between Matthew 24 and 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Their […]
Doug Stauffer, All Bluster and No Bite
Pretrib, hyper-dispensationalist Doug Stauffer is out there going on radio shows arguing for his pretrib view with really, really bad arguments. Here is the most recent of his. He is also attacking the prewrath position. He is conveying the following bluster, which can be summarized as follows: Stauffer: I challenge prewrathers to defend your view […]

Does Paul have in mind a literal, physical temple? Or is he referring to a figurative, spiritual sense? I argued the former, the literal, physical sense. I first explained that naos does not require some […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/022-5_Reasons_why_the_Antichrist_is_Literal.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI adduced five reasons why I believe the Bible teaches a literal, personal Antichrist figure, not a figurative, impersonal Antichrist. The Bible uses many descriptions and titles for this eschatological Antichrist figure. The term “Antichrist” is the most popular term. Historicists (most) and Idealists deny a literal […]

In this program I concluded my series responding to Dr. David Reagan of Lamb & Lion Ministries. I first responded to his objection that prewrath teaches an additional 30-day period after the seven-year period. Reagan says […]

In Part 2, I first addressed his misunderstanding of the structure of Matthew 24 explaining that vv. 9–14 is developed in vv. 15–31. In other words, […]

I responded to the first half of David Reagan’s shallow pretrib “critique” of the prewrath position. I first talked about “the lie.” The Lie is Reagan’s continued falsehood that prewrath teaches the rapture will happen “3/4th” into the “tribulation period.” I […]
