First, I recapped previously argued points from episode 9 where I gave a half dozen reasons to show that the ones who are taken are taken for deliverance and the […]
What Exactly Is the Identity of the ‘Star’ of Bethlehem? The Bible, Astronomy, and Scholarship Par Excellence
Colin R. Nicholl is one of the most careful New Testament exegetes I know today. In the April 2000 volume of The Journal of Theological Studies, Colin R. Nicholl published the seminal article, “Michael, The Restrainer Removed (2 Thess. 2:6-7),” making the strong case that Michael is the Restrainer. His article would be published in […]

False Teacher and Failed Date Setter Mark Biltz Makes a Most Dangerous Statement: ‘We are safe and have another seven years’
False teacher and failed date setter Mark Biltz whose failed prediction of Jesus’ return last month is at it again. Failed date setters do not repent—they double down. Biltz has contributed absolutely nothing, I repeat nothing to biblical prophecy in any meaningful sense of the term. (Why WND promotes Biltz when there are so many […]

I think there are some entrenched presuppositions in the posttrib framework that need to be challenged (and some have been here). Prewrath shares some affinity with post-trib, but there are important aspects in post-trib interpretation that fail to find biblical support. To name a […]
