A Reply to Dr. Michael Vlach of The Master’s Seminary and His Misrepresentation of the Prewrath Viewpoint

by

I expect pop pretrib teachers such as Thomas Ice, Tim Lahaye, and others to misrepresent the prewrath position—they do it all the time, and don’t care. They do it on purpose and we know this because they have been repeatedly corrected in private emails and in public on the Internet. This is why Thomas Ice […]

The First Coming of Christ Was “Secret” — But the Second Coming Will be Spectacular

by

In the first coming of Christ, the celestial sign announcing the coming of the Lord was peaceful (Matt. 2:2, 7, 9–10). In the second coming of Christ, the celestial sign announcing the coming of the Lord will bring upheaval (Joel 2:30–31; Matt. 24:29). Another contrast is the Shekinah sign of Christ: At the first coming […]
