I agree with James White’s sound interpretation of this verse in response to the common objection of how can a divine person be ignorant of anything (i.e. if Jesus is really divine, how can he be ignorant of the day and hour when he returns?). White provides a good explanation of the limitations of the […]

What Is Prewrath?
*The following description below is a brief overview. For books on prewrath click on the images above. WHAT IS PREWRATH? by ALAN KURSCHNER Many of us were told that the church will be “raptured out of here before the Antichrist’s arrival.” The Bible, however, teaches […]
“What Only Matters is that Jesus IS Returning!”
This mantra sounds nice and pious, but it is certainly not biblical reality. What is implied in this slogan is all these other “side” issues regarding the timing of the rapture, great tribulation, Antichrist were not concerns for the biblical writers. It may come as a surprise to many to learn that the biblical writers […]
The Global Language of Luke 21:25–29 is Problematic For Preterism
(25) And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, (26) people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. […]

Matthew 24:37–41 “One Will Be Taken And One Left”
(37) For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (38) For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, (39) and they were unaware until the flood came and […]
A Response to the Preterist Interpretation of “This Generation” in Matthew 24:34
“Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” —Matt 24:34 This is the go-to proof text for preterists. It is the holy grail of preterism. It is the first and last thing that comes out of their mouths when you talk to them about the Olivet […]
Interpretation of the Beginning of Birth Pangs in Matthew 24
I am encouraged that Joel Richardson is a futurist (he is a posttribulationist), but he is making some critical categorical errors in his interpretation of Matthew 24. Richardson interprets the event of the “beginning of the birth pangs” in Mathew 24 as the time of Jacob’s trouble, the time of eschatological suffering for the Jewish […]
Interviewed on Whether Matthew 24 Applies to the Church
Today, Chris White interviewed me on the subject of the applicability of Matthew 24. Does it apply to the Church or does it apply to “Jewish believers during the tribulation period” as pretribulationists claim.
Part 6 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
This is the last installment of our six-part series. The last reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in a helpful parallel passage in the gospel of Luke. The passage in Luke 17:22–37 parallels Matthew 24:23–41. Luke reads: (22) Then he said to the disciples, […]
