Geoffrey Kirkland makes the mistake of indicating that his pretribulationism is the only interpretation of futuristic premillennialism. He does not even use the term “pretribulationism.” He just (wrongly) assumes futuristic premillennialism is the same thing as his eschatological pretrib framework, which misleads his readers. They are not the same thing. Pretribultionism is one interpretation of […]

I explained that there are implications to holding to imminence theology. We should, instead, take a biblical expectancy position toward Jesus’s return, which I explained what I mean by this. There are three features to […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/_How_Would_It_Prove_Pretrib_If_APOSTASIA_Refers_to_the_Rapture_ep_89.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI talked about a deep-seated pretrib assumption that identifies the truth that the rapture occurs before the day of the Lord with the pretribulational rapture itself. It is not the same thing. The problem as I pointed out in this episode is that prewrath also believes that […]
God has worked with Israel and the church at the same time in the past…
God has worked with Israel and the church at the same time in the past, he does in the present, and he will in the future. Here is a bit on the past. In the Past God worked with Israel during the church age in AD 70. Before the death of Jesus during the Old […]

For that day will not arrive until the rebellion [apostasia] comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.” (2 Thess 2:3 NET) In this episode, I first explained the larger context to the question of […]
(VIDEO) An Easy Refutation of Pretrib Pastor Joey Wampler on the 24 Elders
I have replied to this common pretrib argument before here and here. Incidentally, pastor Wampler, first, you have to understand that Steven Anderson holds to a warped view of the prewrath rapture. He is not representative of the prewrath position. Second, you said that Steven Anderson has a skewed interpretation of this passage. That is […]
Why ‘Heaven’ (Ouranō) in Revelation 12:1 Does NOT Refer to the Starry Sky | Great Sign, Constellation Virgo, September 23rd 2017, the Rapture
“Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.” (Rev 12:1 NET) I do not believe ‘heaven’ (ouranō) in Revelation 12:1 refers to the starry sky; and thereby, I do not think that the […]
“The ‘Church’ IS Found After All in Revelation 4–21!” | The Great Sign of Revelation 12, September 23, 2017
(You can follow my ongoing series critiquing Scott Clarke’s “Great Sign of Revelation 12” theory at this link.) I find it interesting that pretribbers who once exclaimed that since the word ‘church’ was not found between Revelation 4–21 therefore the rapture is pretrib, now are changing their view and seeing the “male child” in Revelation […]
(VIDEO) Audience Member Stumps Thomas Ice with Question at a Debate | Midwest Prophecy Conference, Calvary Chapel, Lafayette, IN
There was a recent debate at the pretrib 2017 Midwest Prophecy Conference, Calvary Chapel, Lafayette, IN: “Is the return of the Lord imminent?” between Dr. David Lehman and Dr. Tommy Ice. Both debate participants are pretrib; the former, however, denies imminence and attempted to argue that you can deny imminence and affirm pretribulationism. This is […]
(VIDEO) The BACKSTORY to Scottie Clarke’s FIRST Failed Prediction of the Rapture
(For future reference, you can follow my ongoing series critiquing Scott Clarke’s “Great Sign of Revelation 12” theory at this link.) As a preface I want to say that I am not “attacking” Scottie Clarke personally. He seems like a nice and sincere person. My intention is to refute his theory which I believe is […]
(VIDEO) A Reply to Scott Clarke’s ‘The Great Sign of Revelation 12’ Theory
I want to respond to a few points in a video from Scott Clarke, who evidently introduced the recent “Great Sign Revelation 12” theory (the video is down below). I will be responding to him more in the future on various aspects of his pretribulational Revelation 12 rapture theory. So this is just the first […]
