The Bible clearly teaches that when Jesus returns to pour out God’s eschatological wrath, the world will be caught off guard and oblivious of his sudden coming. For example, Jesus uses the Noahic illustration to teach that his return will be sudden upon the world: For just like the days of Noah were, so the […]
Posttribulationism
Is the ‘Great Day’ in Rev 6:17 the Same ‘Great Day’ in Rev 16:14?
This is a good question from the inbox: With regards to viewing the seals, trumpets and bowls as happening at the same time (concurrent-recapitulation) or as happening progressively (consecutive-progressive), there’s something I noticed that I haven’t seen you address so far (I might be wrong). Let’s compare the sixth seal with the sixth bowl: Revelation […]
Arguments of Silence
While pretribulationists are hard-pressed to show the church saints in heaven before the Antichrist’s great tribulation, posttribulationists, on the other hand, are hard-pressed to show the church saints on earth during the day of the Lord’s wrath.
The Saints on the ‘Sea of Glass’ Will Be Watching the Bowl Judgments FROM HEAVEN
Posttribulationists believe we will be on earth protected during the bowl judgments. Prewrathers, on the other hand, believe that we will be raptured before the trumpet and bowl judgements begin and only afterwards descend in the New Jerusalem to earth for the millennium and beyond. One particular passage I want to highlight why we will […]
Is the ‘144,000’ the Same as the ‘Woman’?
QUESTION: Someone recently asked a good question: If we assume [the 144,000 are Jews], Rev. 7 says they are sealed because they will be on earth during God’s wrath. According to Rev. 7, this sealing will happen right about the same time the rapture happens (the “great multitude”). Now these are the questions: (1) Will […]
INBOX Q&A: The Sixth Seal Earthquake and the Seventh Bowl Earthquake
Barry asked: How can the mountains and islands be moved from their places in the seals AND the bowls. Are they moved from their places twice? Or are the seals and the bowls different narratives of the same event? Good question. First, Rev 6:14 reads, “The sky was split apart like a scroll being rolled […]

Zechariah 14:7 and a Response to Post-Tribulationists
The single verse that is often cited for support for viewing the day of the Lord as a twenty-four hour day interpretation is: “But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light” (Zech. […]
The Seventh Trumpet Is Blown AFTER the Two Witnesses are Caught Up to Heaven
In this week’s episode of The Biblical Prophecy Program, I pointed out a contradiction in the posttribulation framework. Many posttribulationists view the catching up of the two witnesses to heaven as “representing” the rapture, and they identify the blowing of the seventh trumpet in the book of Revelation as Paul’s “last trump.” The salient problem, […]

Posttribulationists interpret the […]
A MAJOR Contradiction in the Posttribulation View of the ‘Last Trump’
