Today, I was interviewed on Dr. Douglas Hamp’s The Awakening Report. It was a substantive rapid program!
Pretribulationism
The Function of the First Four Seals
J. Webb Mealy states, “The first four seals (Rev. 6:1–8), for example, far from revealing divine chastisements, reveal the catalysts through which sinful and murderous humanity is brought to witness against itself. The four horsemen thus represent demonic agencies whose release into the arena of nations and societies tempts them to express their true nature.” […]
This is the KEY question to ask the person who thinks the Abomination of Desolation in Matthew 24:15 was caused by Titus
How many times have you been told that the abomination of desolation, as well as the great tribulation, in Matthew 24:15–21 is not an event that will be fulfilled in the future? Many times. Most amillennialists and historical premillennialists think that the abomination of desolation in Matt 24:15 was caused by Titus in AD 70. […]
Where Is the Rapture in the Book of Revelation?
This is good ol’ fashion comparing Scripture with Scripture. Notice all five passages link between (1) Christ appearing in the sky and (2) the gathering of God’s people. 1 Thessalonians 4:15–17 “For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming [parousia] of […]
I have another question for pretribbers on so-called “losing your blessed hope”
To follow up on my previous blog post, I have another question for pretribbers that I would like the answer to. Since you (pretribbers) claim that believers would lose their blessed hope if they were persecuted by the Antichrist, then by that reasoning you must believe that so-called “tribulation saints” will lose their blessed hope […]
Is the Gap Between the 69th and 70th Week an Exception?
I want to comment on a pretrib argument. The argument goes something like this: God works with both the church and Israel during the “gap” between the sixty-ninth and seventieth week, but he does not work with the church during any of Daniel’s seventy years prophecy, including the seventieth week; therefore the church must be raptured […]
Just Another Bible Prophecy That Contradicts Pretrib Imminence Theology
There are many examples like this that disprove the pretrib “any moment” rapture view, but here is one from the book of Acts: “The Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, ‘Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent, because I am with you, and no one will assault […]
Why Is It Jesus Who Breaks the Seals of the Scroll?
The short answer is because Christ is portrayed as the (1) omniscient witness to all deeds and to humanity’s guilt, and (2) the agent of God’s judgment (Rev 1:14–16; 2:12, 16, 18, 23–27; 5:1–8). The long answer is that the seals function as bringing to open humanity’s guilt before God, so that Jesus’s judgment against […]

Closing the Gap on the Pretrib Rapture ‘Gap’ Theory
Traditional pretribulationists have consistently believed that the rapture and the inception of the day of the Lord’s wrath will occur back-to-back on the same day. Prewrath came along and pointed out the “Before the day of the Lord” passages (e.g. Joel 2:29–31; Mal 4:5; 2 Thess 2:3) and demonstrated that since the Bible teaches that […]
Jack Hibbs Wants to Have a Discussion, but Jan Markell Does Not [Video]
In the video below at the time stamp 47:22 Jack Hibbs says it is imperative to have this argument on the rapture issue (I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he means interaction with other viewpoints). Then immediately Jan Markell jumps in and throws a wet towel by saying those who “attack” pretrib […]
