Don’t Be Tantalized by the Book of Enoch
I tend to agree with Steve Hays in his comparison of the Enochian literature with the New Testament Apocrypha: I consider the Intertestamental literature on the nephilim to be exegetically worthless. Gen 6:1-4 is very intriguing. Part of what makes … [Continue reading] about Don’t Be Tantalized by the Book of Enoch
Why Premillennialism Matters (Video)
Why premillennial theology matters is an issue that every student of biblical prophecy needs to be aware of.

The Greek in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Disproves the Pretribulation Rapture (Video)
Second Thessalonians chapter two has been the nemesis for pretribulationism. Or what I refer to as the 800-pound gorilla in the Bible of the pretribulationist. This biblical passage has convinced more ex-pretribulationists that their pretrib … [Continue reading] about The Greek in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Disproves the Pretribulation Rapture (Video)
‘In the twinkling of an eye’
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people cite "in the twinkling of an eye" as support for an imminent return of Jesus.

Did Jerome in the Latin Vulgate Understand Discessio in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as ‘Defection’ or ‘Physical Departure’?
(This is a guest post by Dr. Dean Furlong) Latin Vulgate: “ne quis vos seducat ullo modo quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum et revelatus fuerit homo peccati filius perditionis” (2 Thess 2:3) I want to thank Dr. Alan Kurschner for inviting me to … [Continue reading] about Did Jerome in the Latin Vulgate Understand Discessio in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as ‘Defection’ or ‘Physical Departure’?
‘Mysteries’ that Extend the Church Age into the Seventieth Week
I want to respond to an issue that often comes up. Pretribulationists argue that since certain “mysteries” were absent from the Old Testament but revealed in the church age, therefore, this is evidence for the church/Israel temporal separation.[1] … [Continue reading] about ‘Mysteries’ that Extend the Church Age into the Seventieth Week
How Did the Syriac Version Translate the Greek ‘Apostasia’ in 2 Thess 2:3?
Many pretribulationists believe that the Greek word apostasia in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 means "a physical departure" (i.e. the rapture). This claim has been thoroughly debunked many times (see the two articles at the end of this post). In Koine Greek, … [Continue reading] about How Did the Syriac Version Translate the Greek ‘Apostasia’ in 2 Thess 2:3?
Why the Bowls Follow AFTER the Trumpet Judgements: The FINAL Storm Theophany (Part 6) – Ep. 158
Dr. Kurschner explained another good reason to understand the bowl judgments to occur after the trumpet judgments, rather than have them occurring at the same time or, for some interpreters, identifying them with each other. Recapitulatory … [Continue reading] about Why the Bowls Follow AFTER the Trumpet Judgements: The FINAL Storm Theophany (Part 6) – Ep. 158
Babylon the Great, the Beast, and the Bride
There is a link between Babylon the Great’s persecution and the Bride. Babylon is said to be responsible for the martyrdom of many saints (Rev 18:24—19:2), who are identified as part of the Bride (Rev 19:6–9). And in Rev 13:7 the saints are described … [Continue reading] about Babylon the Great, the Beast, and the Bride
