http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/Ep_145_Will_Jesus_Come_FOR_HIS_CHURCH_at_the_Rapture.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedA fundamental presupposition of pretribulationism views the rapture event as disconnected from the second coming. Pretribulationism claims that the rapture occurs before Daniel’s 70th week begins, i.e. the seven-year period, while the second coming occurs after the seven years is complete. Thus, it necessarily disconnects the rapture […]

Virtue Signaling Pretribbers

by

Pop pretribbers are often heard invoking the virtuous platitude, “I’m not looking for the Antichrist, I’m looking for Jesus Christ.” It is intended to convey that pretribs are “truly” watchful for Jesus’s return because they think they will not have to first encounter the Antichrist before the rapture. This cutesy slogan sounds pious and virtuous, […]

A Response to Ken Johnson’s Abuse of Reading His Pretribulation Rapture Back into the Early Church Writers (Video)

by

Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers interviewed Ken Johnson on his show this week. The program is an exercise of wishful thinking claiming that the early church writers were “pretribulationists” (see the video below). Anyone with a modicum of knowledge of what the early church writers taught on this issue understands that they taught that the […]

Still waiting for a Posttribber to Respond to Prewrath Eschatology . . . Crickets

by

Every so often I post my list of responses to posttribulation theology.  So below is the link to my compendium of responses. While prewrath shares some affinity with posttrib there are significant differences. For example: 1. Prewrath does not believe that the second coming will be an instantaneous or single-day (simple) event. Rather, it will […]

by

“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 […]

The problem then is how can amillennialism claim on one hand that the binding of Satan is the victory of […]

Models of Premillennialism (Book Notice)

by

Models of Premillennialism by Sung Wook Chung and David Mathewson Purchase the book on kindle or paperback   The meaning of “the millennium”–the thousand-year reign of Christ spoken of in Revelation 20–has been controversial for much of the church’s history, and even the main perspectives on the matter turn out to be more variegated than […]

A Picture of Jesus’s Shekinah Coming

by

Steve Hays writes: 28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice 29 and come out — those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment (Jn 5:28-29). As […]
