I am not going to mince words in this post. Promoting Anderson’s material exposes your Christian friends to his cultish thinking and behavior—which brings disrepute to the name of Christ (see below for documentation). On prophecy, Steven Anderson in the past has wrongly appropriated the label “prewrath.” He is so far off base to be […]

“Critique of the Pre-Wrath Rapture View” by John Ankerberg
http://www.jashow.org/resources/series-topics/prophecy/critique-of-the-pre-wrath-rapture-view.html John Ankerberg has a video he is selling that you can find in the link above. But it contains no description of the video, such as who is doing the critiquing and what issues were covered. I am assuming it was Ankerberg himself. And I am certainly not going to pay the exorbitant price […]
Matthew 24:37–41 “One Will Be Taken And One Left”
(37) For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (38) For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, (39) and they were unaware until the flood came and […]
A Response to David Cloud’s Misrepresentation of the Prewrath Viewpoint
David Cloud in a Q&A writes: What about the pre-wrath position that says believers will not be raptured until part way through the Tribulation? The “pre-wrath” doctrine says that the Rapture occurs mid-way between Daniel’s 70th Week. It is based on the view that the “church” is to be kept from God’s wrath and the […]
Debate: Marvin Rosenthal (Prewrath) vs Dave Hunt (Pre-trib)
I am going to briefly comment on this radio debate between Marvin Rosenthal and Dave Hunt. I would have preferred this to be a formal radio debate with rebuttals and cross-examination and the moderator enforcing time limits. Instead it was a back and forth debate. But you take what you can when you have an […]
Give Prewrath Pamphlets to Your Pretrib Friends!
After already several printings of thousands of pamphlets, I am very encouraged this year to witness the interest in the pamphlet format in teaching believers the prewrath position. The vast majority of people will not read a book on prewrath, but they will read a pamphlet. Purchase them to give out to your pretrib family […]
A Response to Greg Laurie on the Rapture
Greg Laurie asserts: Where are we today in relation to all of this? God has been pouring out his Spirit on the church, but that time is coming to an end. And it is my opinion that the next event on the prophetic calendar is the rapture of the church. The Bible says it will […]
Part 6 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
This is the last installment of our six-part series. The last reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in a helpful parallel passage in the gospel of Luke. The passage in Luke 17:22–37 parallels Matthew 24:23–41. Luke reads: (22) Then he said to the disciples, […]
Part 5 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
The fourth reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in the use of the term parousia. The term is used only four times in the gospels and are all found in Matthew 24:3, 27, 37, 39. Hart argues the parousia mentioned in verses 37 and […]
Part 4 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
The third reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is recognizing Jesus’ audience. Hart argues verses 4–35 are intended for a Jewish audience and verses 36–44 are for the church. However, both passages have the same audience of disciples. The second person plural “you” is found in […]
A Debate Challenge for Perry Stone
In this video, Perry Stone defending pretribulationism gives a convoluted argument trying to show that Matthew 24:31 is not speaking of the rapture but instead depicts the gathering of the Jews. His argument is namely based on a forced interpretation of the feasts onto Matthew 24. He also responds to the prewrath position which he […]
