Nicholl adduces that supports the “Restrainer” being Michael the archangel. 1. Contemporary Jewish literature viewed the characteristics of Michael having eschatological pre-eminence as the chief opponent of Satan and Restrainer of God’s people. 2. Michael is […]

Who is the “Restrainer”? This question stems from Paul’s text in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7. “And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time. […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/024-Parallels_between_Jesus_and_Paul.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI talked about the incredibly consistent teaching between Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and Paul’s Thessalonian letters on the doctrine of the second coming.

Does Paul have in mind a literal, physical temple? Or is he referring to a figurative, spiritual sense? I argued the former, the literal, physical sense.

Ed Hindson asserts, I am not looking for the Antichrist, I’m looking for Jesus Christ. I am not even looking for the undertaker, I am looking for the uppertaker (at 14 min. here). Hindson uttered this cutesy slogan as he was talking about 2 Thessalonians 2! And worse, he did not even try to give […]
Pretribulationism believes that Jesus is coming back quietly to secretly rapture the church, and the world is going to wonder where all the missing people have gone. Only believers will be able to hear and see Jesus when he returns. That may be good fantasy for novels but it is not biblical reality. Just the […]
An excerpt from Antichrist Before the Day of the Lord: Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord (1 Thess 4:17) The dead in Christ will receive their […]

In addition, the vast majority of preterists and pretribulationists deny that Jesus and Paul are teaching on the same subject. But the the overwhelming parallels between their […]
