Book of Revelation
Preterism’s Literalistic Interpretation of Jesus is Coming “Soon” (En Tachei)
“The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon [en tachei] take place.” (Rev 1:1) Gary DeMar and other preterist interpreters inveigh against futurists for being “literalistic” in their interpretations. Yet, I actually find many of their interpretations literalistic, as in this case, interpreting “soon” […]
Seals, Trumpets, Bowls – At the Same Time or One After the Other? i.e. Concurrent-Recapitulation or Consecutive-Progressive?
I am writing a book responding to posttribulationism. It will be the first prewrath book that substantively engages the posttribulational view. Even though my book Antichrist Before the Day of the Lord responds to relevant points on posttribulationism, this forthcoming book will be completely devoted to the posttrib interpretation. My hope is that it will […]

How Far Can You Go and Still Be Able to Repent? A Plea to John MacArthur
The question about whether you can take the mark of the beast and still be able to repent later, makes no earthly sense to me. And yet there are pretribulational teachers who think this is a meaningful question. “How far can you go” is in the same vein of the frequent question that youth pastors […]

Autonomous Drones — a Type of Eschatological Detection
I found this piece interesting, not because I think it is the fulfillment of any prophetic event. I found it interesting because many believe that the book of Revelation depicts events that are so fantastic that they think they could never actually happen. “And it was allowed to give breath [autonomy] to the image [inanimate] […]

Here is a piece about giant killer hornets that on a microcosmic […]
If ANYONE worships the beast and its image and receives a mark…
Dr. Jimmy DeYoung join Brannon for their weekly Middle East Update. Topic: Jimmy DeYoung & John MacArthur both agree that a person can receive the Mark of the Beast and repent and be saved. Hear the audio of Dr. MacArthur explaining why. http://www.worldviewweekend.com/radio/audio/brannon-howse-aired-september-27-2013 I am going to have a lot to say about the irresponsible—and […]
