Book of Revelation
Amillennialism Cannot Have It Both Ways…
In my estimation, this is one of the most acute inconsistencies of amillennial theology in the book of Revelation. “[The amillennial] approach does not fit the literary movement of Revelation. John pictures the period between Christ’s exaltation and return as the time of Satan’s banishment from heaven to earth, where he deceives the nations and […]

Book Review: The Coming Flood: A Call for the Endurance and Faith of the Saints by Jeremy Wells
James Pate has written a brief book review of Jeremy Wells’ book The Coming Flood: A Call for the Endurance and Faith of the Saints. I have not read this book but intend to. But I wanted to respond very briefly to Wells’ thesis, who seems to come from a post-trib view, so being a […]

On David Chilton’s Preterist-Postmillennial Commentary on the Book of Revelation, Days of Vengeance
Preterists commonly accuse (mock) futurist commentaries on the book of Revelation for sensational interpretations. Admittedly, there are more than a few popular pretrib commentaries on Revelation that rightly are “way out there.” However, David Chilton’s postmillennial and preterist commentary on Revelation rivals the most kooky and far-fetched interpretations on the book of Revelation: The Days […]
BIAS ALERT: This person makes a GREAT point about The John Ankerberg Show | Prewrath Rapture
The John Ankerberg Show has been known for having different perspectives represented by different proponents on a topic. However, when it comes to one particular topic, the rapture, Ankerberg will only have pretrib guests on this show. Can anyone say…painfully biased? He does not have a prewrather, posttribber, or a preterist on his show. He […]
Is Jesus Returning as a Jew?
Yes, according to one of the elders in the book of Revelation: Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered; thus he can open the scroll and its seven seals. (Rev 5:5) And according to the resurrected Christ who […]
