The following comments from J. Webb Mealy is what I consider to be the most significant problem—contradiction—in all of amillennial theology. It is simply irreconcilable within their theological system. Every premillennial person should learn this point of contradiction well and be able to challenge amillennialists with it. “[Amillennialism believes since] Satan’s release from prison and […]

Those Left Behind in Matt 24 Are the Wicked for Judgment – NOT the Righteous
I see a lot of posttribs, amillennialists, and historical premillennialists who claim that those who are left behind in Matt 24 are actually the righteous who are delivered, and those who are taken are the wicked for judgment. This is backwards. Those who argue this way typically do not actually support their view from the […]

In my experience this key exegetical point in prewrath eschatology has made sense for many who are ex-pretribbers and ex-posttribbers. It is a point that prewathers should highlight when they talk with their pretrib […]
Revelation 19 Does NOT Depict the Start of the Second Coming (Video)
As many are aware prewrath eschatology teaches that the second coming (parousia) of Jesus begins—not in Rev 19— but rather between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals in Rev 7 with the rapture and resurrection occurring with the innumerable multitude of believers appearing in heaven out of the period of the great tribulation. […]

Ex-preterist theologian Dr. Brock Hollett has authored Debunking Preterism: How Over-Realized Eschatology Misses the Not Yet of Bible Prophecy. Dr. Brock D. Hollett formerly embraced preterism while earning his Master of Divinity at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2000 because the preterist perspective seemed to provide him with coherent arguments regarding the time statements of […]
Preterist Gary DeMar Turns Down Debate Invitation
Refuting futurism is a big deal for preterist Gary DeMar. Much of his career has been devoted to such a task. So in the past, I have challenged preterist Gary DeMar to a public moderated debate, and recently I invited him again. He has turned down a debate. I know some of you are disappointed. […]

A Response to Preterism’s Failed Prophecy of False Messianic Claimants in AD 70ish (Matthew 24:23-25)
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the messiah!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they […]
A Teachable Moment Why Pretrib Logic Fails Miserably on the Daniel’s Seventy-Weeks Prophecy
Billy Crone in the video below (starting at 8:00) commits this common logical and biblical error on this issue. Here is the pretrib logic: Pretribs reason that since the Seventy-Weeks prophecy in Daniel 9:24–27 was given to Israel, the Church cannot “exist” on earth during any of its fulfillment. Here is why this common pretrib argument fails: […]
