Dr. Michael Brown had me on The Line of Fire today to discuss prewrath and post-trib (It starts at 31 minutes into the program). I want to thank Dr. Brown, who is a post-tribber, for his willingness to seek to understand prewrath eschatology. I knew that I would have a very short time—about 20 minutes […]

They argue this namely because it says that Jesus himself opens the seals. I refuted this notion by actually examining the biblical texts in […]

The differences are telling. I talked about a material feature that the pretrib conference is promoting to get you to attend their conference! I also could not find anywhere on […]
The Third Seal Corresponds to the Birth Pang of Famines in Matthew 24:7
I want to comment on Darrin Ball’s denial that the third seal is not referring to famine, in particular the birth pang of famine in Matthew 24:27. He places the third seal after the midpoint. Ball is a sharp prewrather, but I believe he is mistaken on this issue. 1. One of his main objections […]
Is There a Connection Between the Purpose of the Blowing of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah and the End of Satan’s Authority at the Seventh Trumpet?
Today is Rosh Hashanah (“the Feast of Trumpets”), the first day of the new year, 5775 in the Jewish calender. I am attending Judaism’s two high holiday services here in North Jersey (Rosh Hashanah today and Yom Kippur 10 days later). I have been studying different aspects of these Jewish holidays and discovered an interesting […]

Pretribulationism argues that the body of twenty-four elders “represent” the church and therefore the rapture will happen before the “tribulation period.” I responded to a couple of their key arguments and showed […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/005-3_Reasons_for_the_Rapture.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI explained that the Bible gives at least three reasons for the rapture. Many people associate “the rapture” with some secret event where millions of people suddenly disappear leaving behind their underwear and pantyhose. That notion is a glory-robbing interpretation from God’s real purposes for the rapture. […]
Book of Revelation, Hermeneutics, Symbolism, Amillennialism, and Premillennialism
Even though Steve Hays is an amillennialist, in this article he does challenge his amill friends not to assume everything in the book of Revelation is symbolic without any corresponding real event. I would be more on the spectrum of specific events than “kinds” of events; nevertheless, it is encouraging to see Hays move in […]
