There are similarities between Ezekiel and John’s descriptions of the new city. However, many interpreters believe they conflict on the issue of the measurements of the size of the new city.

Does the Appearing (Epiphaneia) of Christ Occur Seven Years After the Pretrib Rapture?
Yesterday, I critiqued the pretribulation belief that claims the revelation (apokalypsis) of Christ will occur, not at the rapture, but when Jesus comes “with his saints” for the battle of Armageddon. Similarly, pretribulationists make the same claim about the appearing of Christ, that it will not take place at the rapture but at the end […]

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 […]

The Seven Sealed Scroll of the Book Revelation as a ‘Certificate of Debenture’
Earlier this week on the Biblical Prophecy Program podcast, I described my new understanding of the symbolic meaning of the seven-sealed scroll of Revelation as a ‘certificate of debenture.” This understanding of the scroll makes sense because the nature of the seals express humanity’s accumulated sinful behavior as a debt that they will have to pay back […]

Dr. Kurschner first described three common interpretations. Then he explicated his new view, which is the most plausible, called a certificate of debenture (i.e. debt). The nature of the first four seals, fifth […]
The Amillennial Interpretation of Satan’s Binding Simply Does Not Work
The following problems that J. Webb Mealy raise are never dealt adequately—or at all—in Amillennial literature. I think it is because they are deeply problematic for their system. “[Amillennialism believes since] Satan’s release from prison and destruction (Rev. 20:7–10) is connected with the parousia, then the time of his imprisonment “so that he should deceive […]

Premillennialism teaches that at Jesus’s second coming he will deliver the righteous and judge the ungodly. Then the righteous will enter into a period—the millennium—of peace and righteousness where […]
