Posttribulationism
When Does the Great Tribulation End?
Jesus teaches that the great tribulation begins at the midpoint with the abomination of desolation (Matt 24:15, cf. 9:27) and it will continue until it is cut short—not three-and-a-half years later—but at an unknown day and hour that the Father has determined when he sends his Son to gather this elect (Matt 24:22, 29, 36). […]
Making sense of ‘as in the days of Noah’ and ‘as a thief’
Many posttribulationists believe that the rapture will happen after God’s eschatological wrath, the trumpet judgments and some believe even the bowls. But this contradicts Jesus and Paul’s teaching that the sudden separation will happen to the wicked “as in the days of Noah” and “as a thief.” We are told by posttribulationists to believe that […]

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/172-Gods_Eschatological_Wrath_Begins_.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedDr. Alan Kurschner responded to a popular posttribulation view that has God’s eschatological wrath of the trumpet judgements in the book of Revelation occurring before the resurrection and the rapture, which they place at the seventh trumpet. This view contradicts not only the narrative in the book […]
Why Aren’t the Innumerable Multitude in Revelation 7:9–17 Sealed as Are the 144,000?
This is easily answered. There is no reason for the innumerable multitude to be sealed because they are raptured and in heaven before the throne of the Father and pictured having resurrected bodies (see Rev 7:9–17). There is zero biblical evidence that church saints will be on earth protected through the trumpet and bowl judgments. […]

‘Jesus will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven’
“After he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight. As they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood near them and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up into […]
