“[W]hen we contemplate the history of martyrdom, why should we ask deliverance from what millions have already suffered? . . . [W]hen we recall the thousands of Christians who fell in torture and death and did it gladly in the name of Christ at the hands of the manifestation of the spirit of antichrist in […]

Does the Appearing (Epiphaneia) of Christ Occur Seven Years After the Pretrib Rapture?
Yesterday, I critiqued the pretribulation belief that claims the revelation (apokalypsis) of Christ will occur, not at the rapture, but when Jesus comes “with his saints” for the battle of Armageddon. Similarly, pretribulationists make the same claim about the appearing of Christ, that it will not take place at the rapture but at the end […]
Does the Revelation (Apokalypsis) of Christ Occur at Armageddon Seven Years After the Pretrib Rapture?
Pretribulationism claims when Jesus returns to resurrect and rapture the people of God, this coming “for the church” will not be known to the world. The revelation (apokalypsis) of Christ, on the other hand, it is argued, will be known to all the world at the end of the seventieth week of Daniel (i.e. seven […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/The_Greek_GRAMMAR_in_2_Thessalonians_23_Supports_Prewrath_-_Ep._147.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedDr. Kurschner demonstrated grammatical parallels in other New Testament passages to the grammatical construction found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. This evidence clearly supports the prewrath position and contradicts pretribulationism. Pretribulational interpreters attempt to argue that Paul in 2 Thess 2:3 teaches that the “apostasy” and “the revelation […]
Are the 144,000 Israelites ‘Saved’ in Revelation 7?
I view the 144,000 Israelites in Rev 7:4–8 as sealed in the sense of God choosing them to be saved when the end of the seven-year period is completed, fulfilling Daniel’s 70 week prophecy of the nation of Israel when they recognize Jesus as Messiah. They are also sealed in the sense of protection from the impending […]
Pseudo-Ephraem Is NOT a Pretribulation Document
Pretribulationists are fond to cite Pseudo-Ephraem as support for a pretrib rapture. Charles Cooper has written the following article (Pseudo-Ephraem), which reveals that the author actually places the return of Jesus for the Church after the Antichrist has already arrived, not before. This document is also a teachable example for pretribs. The MO for how […]
The SAME DAY Noah Entered the Ark, the Flood Began – NOT Seven Days Later!
On occasion I hear some pretrib teachers attempt to argue for a gap of time between the rapture and the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel, which they wrongly equate with the Day of the Lord’s wrath. They do this to try to get around the “Before the Day of the Lord” passages […]
Pretrib J. D. Farag’s Feeble Faith CONTRASTED with the Bold Faith of Iranian Women
All prewrath is teaching is that there will be an unprecedented persecution of Christians just before Jesus returns. And yet, this message is so offensive to many pretribs that they feel compelled to write books against prewrath, calling it heresy, “Satanic,” and even likening our persecution theology to wife beating! Of course there are more […]
