I took a red-eye flight to Jersey on my way back from the rapture debate in Dallas. I was able to catch the tail end of the super blood moon and I talked about one of my strategies for debating Thomas Ice this past weekend.

Update on My Debate with Dr. Thomas Ice
UPDATE: Here is the debate I appreciate Dr. Ice for accepting the invitation to debate. Not many pretrib teachers are willing to engage on this level—come to think of it, he is the only one! I am very pleased with how the debate went. The audio will be posted on this site in […]
Does Apostasia in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Refer to a ‘Physical Departure’ (i.e. the Rapture)?
Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion (apostasia) comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction – 2 Thessalonians 2:3 ESV (some versions render “rebellion” as “apostasy” or “falling away”) Second Thessalonians chapter two has been the nemesis for pretribulationism.

David James at the recent Berean Call Conference gives a tortured definition of what Prewrath teaches
Just to let you know, I don’t go out searching for critiques or misrepresentations of the prewrath position. I don’t need to. They come to me. And recently there have been a spate of people sending me this or that pretrib sermon and wanting me to review it. My time is limited so I have […]

Interview on the importance of eschatology, Premillennialism, Prewrath, and the flaws of the Pretribulational position
I was recently interviewed at Echo Zoe by Andy Olson HERE. “A couple of weeks ago, Alan Kurschner of Eschatos Ministries was in town for a conference on Pre-Wrath and Pre-Millenial eschatology. The day before that conference, he sat down with me to talk about end-times Biblical prophecy for this episode of the podcast. […]
This week on the Program I will be responding to Pretrib Pastor Jim McClarty’s Shallow ‘Critique’ of Prewrath
I was informed of the pastor Jim McClarty’s recent article responding to the prewrath position and his attempt to refute it. As I read it I admit I was taken back a bit by his tone and his shallow argumentation, childish rhetoric, ignorant understanding of how Greek works, and other forms of errant biblical interpretation. […]
ANTICHRIST Debate in Texas Next Month…

Pretrib proponent Thomas Ice will attempt to argue against my position for a pretrib rapture with the rapture occurring before the Antichrist’s […]
Take one minute to read this by George Eldon Ladd…

Many of God’s people are being assured today that the Rapture will take place before the Tribulation and that the Church will not experience those terrible days. Those who hold a different view […]
