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 […]

Did Charles Spurgeon Believe in Imminence?
The short answer is ‘no.’ Recently, Alf Cengia, a pretrib blogger wrote concerning Charles Spurgeon, who is claimed to have purportedly believed in imminence, “what’s good for Charles Spurgeon should be good for me and just about everyone else.” The fallacy of “the appeal to authority” is not a biblical principle of interpretation. As you […]
Intervening events before Jesus’ Return play a POSITIVE role in our looking for Jesus Himself
Robert H. Gundry rightly notes that the purifying influence of Jesus’s return is not some supposed “unexpected moment” of Jesus’s return but rather: [O]ur whole life will pass in review before the Lord. . . . The character and consequences of an event determine its motivating force much more than the time of its occurrence. […]

A simple question for pretribbers who think that the Antichrist’s persecution against Christians will be part of God’s wrath
Tragically, 9 Christians were recently murdered in Kenya for refusing to recite Islamic creed. A simple question for pretribbers: how is this any different than when the Antichrist will murder Christians when they refuse to deny their faith? I have never received a satisfactory answer. The Antichrist’s great tribulation will not be God’s wrath; rather, […]
A response to some effective, but terrible, pretrib arguments . . .
While prewrath prefers to spend time responding to more rigorous pretrib arguments, it is often the case that the really bad pretrib arguments sway the pretrib masses. So they must be responded to as well. Recently, on his Bible Prophecy Talk podcast, Chris White responded to pretrib teacher Dr. Mark Hitchcock and demonstrated how weak […]

My 3 Year Old Refuted Psychological Pretrib Imminency!
I told my 3 year old son that he had to wait until Christmas day to open up his presents. In other words, it was not an imminent event but rather a delayed intervening period. Was his response “diminished hope” as pretibbers would have you believe if there was an intervening period before the rapture? […]
