Today I described four views that militate against this readiness. 1. Pretribulationism: The warnings are relegated to “tribulation saints.” We will be raptured out of here so we do not […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/A_Very_Brief_History_of_the_Secret_Rapture_Pretribulation_Theory_-_Ep._64.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedOn the program, I discussed a couple of issues. First, I talked about the pretrib theological expression “secret rapture.” I explained what that means in pretrib parlance and why it is an unbiblical concept. By “secret,” pretribulationists are referring to Jesus’ purported unperceived snatching of saints at […]

Circular Reasoning Presupposes the Hermeneutics of the Pretribulational Theological System

by

I am finishing up on my major book focused on refuting pretrib imminence. I do not leave any stone left unturned. My hope is it will jolt—and challenge—untold number of Christians who have been taught all their life that Jesus can return “at any moment.” This teaching is so pervasive that even most non-pretrib churches […]

VIDEO | Will People Get Saved after the Rapture during the Day of the Lord’s Wrath?

by

Will people such as Gentiles get saved after the rapture during the day of the Lord’s wrath? And if so will those who are saved experience the day of the Lord’s wrath? I first responded to the pretribulational theological interpretation of this question before I answered with my prewrath response. I also addressed how the […]

For example, Thomas Ice thinks the term “elect” in Matthew’s Olivet Discourse refers to Jews who will be gathered. He links v. 31 to Deuteronomy 30:4. […]

Radio Debate on Moody Radio! Prewrath vs. Pretribulationism

by

You can listen now to the radio debate I had today with Dr. Tommy Ice on Moody Radio’s UP FOR DEBATE with Julie Roys. It went great. I came into the debate with the strategy of focusing on and demonstrating that Jesus’ Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24-25 is for the church, and not relegated to […]

I used Jim McClarty’s critique of the prewrath position as my entry point of discussion. I demonstrated that the seven-year period is divided up into several […]
