Traditional pretribulationism, along with prewrath, have consistently believed that the rapture and the beginning of the day of the Lord’s wrath will occur back-to-back. The day the rapture happens is the same day that the day of the Lord begins. (To be sure, pretribulationalism locates the rapture before the seven year period begins, while prewrath […]
Q&A
Is the Rapture Separated from the Second Coming?
In defense of pretribulationism, you will typically hear the slogan, “At the rapture Jesus will come for his church and at the second coming he will come with his church.” Pretribulation interpreters will cite a litany of supposed “contrasts” between the rapture and the second coming. However, on closer examination, they are shown to be […]

The Second Coming Does Not Begin with Armageddon
It is a deep-seated assumption among many pretrib and posttrib interpreters that the Second Coming begins with the battle of Armageddon. For example, they identify Matt 24:30–31 as the same setting as Rev 19:11–21. But this is not correct. Three events associated with the Second Coming will occur before the battle of Armageddon: (1) the […]

‘Come FOR His Saints . . . Come WITH His Saints’
‘Come for His Saints . . . Come with His Saints’ While posttribulationism wrongly believes that the rapture and the second coming denote the same event, pretribulationism commits the opposite error by separating the events. Pretribulationism claims that the rapture occurs before Daniel’s seventieth week begins, i.e. the seven-year period, while the second coming occurs […]
Matthew 24:30–31 Is NOT Describing the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19:11–21
[Today, I am starting a four-part article series, The Second Coming Does Not Begin with Armageddon. This is Part 1.] The battle of Armageddon is not the event that begins the second coming (the parousia). It is a deep-seated assumption among many pretrib and posttrib interpreters that Matt 24:30–31 is a parallel passage to […]
