Interview on the importance of eschatology, Premillennialism, Prewrath, and the flaws of the Pretribulational position
I was recently interviewed at Echo Zoe by Andy Olson HERE. “A couple of weeks ago, Alan Kurschner of Eschatos Ministries was in town for a conference on Pre-Wrath and Pre-Millenial eschatology. The day before that conference, he sat down with me to talk about end-times Biblical prophecy for this episode of the podcast. […]

Joseph Farah of WND Moving Away from His Pretrib View…
I am encouraged to learn that Joseph Farah recently announced that he is moving away from his pretrib view to evidently a prewrath view: As a new believer nearly 40 years ago, I accepted the idea that born-again Christians would be raptured out of this world long before the world got Revelation-style ugly.
