This is a real fallacy that is pervasive in some evangelical circles, especially pretrib circles. There is also the Modern Greek-Speaking Greek counterpart fallacy. But the former is more common. Many evangelicals think that modern Jews who speak Hebrew have some special “insight” into Scripture because they are Jewish and/or speak Hebrew. They do not. […]

A Reply to Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s Glaring Omission of a Key Part of the Noahic Flood Narrative
Arnold Fruchtenbaum states: Genesis 7:10 states that the waters of the flood began seven days after Noah entered the ark. . . . The flood did not come the same day that Noah entered the ark . . . Just as there was a period of time between Noah entering the ark and the start […]

ANOTHER GLARING Inconsistent Pretrib Interpretation on Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy
Pretribulation interpreters reason that the church will not be part of the 70th week of Daniel (i.e. the last seven years) because it was not part of the 69 weeks. I have responded to this fallacious claim several times. But let me give you three reasons below, the third is a new counterexample I am […]

Are the 144,000 Israelites ‘Saved’ in Revelation 7?
I view the 144,000 Israelites in Rev 7:4–8 as sealed in the sense of God choosing them to be saved when the end of the seven-year period is completed, fulfilling Daniel’s 70 week prophecy of the nation of Israel when they recognize Jesus as Messiah. They are also sealed in the sense of protection from the impending […]
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 […]
The Background to the Sealing of the 144,000: Ezekiel 9 and Exodus 12
The 144,000 faithful Israelites in Revelation 7:1–8 are protected on earth with a seal of God from the impending wrath that will be poured out on the world through the trumpet and bowl judgments when the seventh seal is opened. The likely thematic background for this sealing from impending divine wrath is found in Ezekiel […]
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 […]
A Proposed Itinerary of WHERE Jesus Will Be AFTER the Rapture
I have been asked many times concerning the location of Jesus’s activities after the rapture. It is a common question in prewrath discussions. Robert Van Kampen’s The Sign has a helpful explication of this period. To be sure, in the last 30 years since its publication prewrath has refined this topic. Let me comment on […]
