Six years ago, I did a six-part series responding to John F. Hart’s (and other pretrib teachers’) unfounded and strained interpretation that the parousia in Matt 24:36–44 is a completely different parousia than the one depicted in Matt 24:27, 30–31. I am re-posting my series below. Pretribs cannot agree with themselves whether Matt 24:36–44 refers […]

The Greek Word Apantēsis (Meeting) Does Not Mean ‘an Immediate Escort’ Back to Earth: A Response to Posttribulationism
“Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet [apantēsis] the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.” (1 Thess 4:17) Recently, Michael Brown interacted with Mark Hitchcock on posttrib vs. pretrib. I thought Brown did well […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/Pretribbers_Having_Red_Pill_Moments_-_Ep._129.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedPretrib Christians have a choice between taking the red pill and the blue pill, where many in recent times are taking the former. This is encouraging to learn. I commented on this phenomenon of pretribbers and pretrib pastors taking the red pill and embracing prewrath. I talked […]
Thanks to Pretrib Billy Crone the Prewrath Position Is Making Inroads into Gary Stearman’s Prophecy Watchers . . .
Here is how this is playing out: First, Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers has chosen Billy Crone as his go-to pretrib rapture guy promoting Crone on his program and his books. Second, with all respect, Crone’s arguments against the prewrath position and for pretribulationism are surface-level, refuted easily here many times. See especially this post […]
Did Pre-Wrath ‘Replace’ the Mid-Trib View?
I hear this a lot, that “prewrath replaced midtrib.” But this is not accurate. I understand why some people may think this. For example, Zondervan’s very popular “Three Views of the Rapture” book (1984) has the pretrib, mid-trib, and post-trib. But decades later (2010) they published a second edition adding prewrath while omitting the mid-trib […]
A Brief Reply to Mike Stallard of Israel My Glory…
https://israelmyglory.org/article/when-is-it/ I want to comment on this recent article by Dr. Mike Stallard who is the Director of International Ministries for The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. This article above is from the recent January/February 2018 issue of Israel My Glory, which is an arm of the ministry The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. “Prewrath […]
Clarifying the Differences between the Pre-Wrath and Post-Trib Rapture Viewpoints
Every so often I like to link to articles that I have written in response to posttrib. I do this for three reasons. 1. There are some out there that use the misleading and inaccurate hybrid label “Prewrath-Postrib,” or some version of it. Almost without exception when I investigate this interpreter’s view, they are traditionally […]

Prewrath Pastors Gathering at John MacArthur’s Shepherds’ Conference Summit, Feb 28–March 3
I am aware that there are prewrath pastors that attend annually John MacArthur’s Shepherds’ Conference Summit. This year’s Summit is at the end of the month, Feb 28–March 3. I am willing to connect these prewrath pastors together so they can meet up at the Summit this year. I will not be there, but if […]
THE ESCAPE
“But stay alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36 NET) Frequently I come across pretrib literature that argues that “escape” in Luke 21:36 is teaching a pretribulational rapture. The articles are typically surface level, […]
Greg Laurie: Letting go of the Gospel of Christ, but white-knuckling his pretribulational theology
