[See also this program devoted to this issue] So goes this pious slogan that I am already hearing in response to the Left Behind movie. There are three articles this week already with that slogan in the title! The irony is that most pretribbers do not believe the allusion “left behind” to the Noahic illustration […]
Blah, Blah, Blah…Throwing the Rapture-Baby Out With the Pretrib-Bathwater
http://www.relevantmagazine.com/god/worldview/when-will-rapture-be-left-behind This clichéd script by these individuals is so easy to predict. I have heard it numerous times: “Pretribulationism has made the rapture sensational, therefore, the rapture teaching is not important so we need to focus on a cure for AIDS.” Or something along those lines. A lot more of these surface-level articles will be coming […]

I first explained that after the rapture God’s people will be escorted, not to earth, but to the throne of the Father in heaven. I provided four biblical passages that demonstrate this: 2 Corinthians 4:14 John 14:1–3 Revelation 7:13–15 Isaiah […]
The Third Seal Corresponds to the Birth Pang of Famines in Matthew 24:7
I want to comment on Darrin Ball’s denial that the third seal is not referring to famine, in particular the birth pang of famine in Matthew 24:27. He places the third seal after the midpoint. Ball is a sharp prewrather, but I believe he is mistaken on this issue. 1. One of his main objections […]

A Reply to Dr. Michael Vlach of The Master’s Seminary and His Misrepresentation of the Prewrath Viewpoint
I expect pop pretrib teachers such as Thomas Ice, Tim Lahaye, and others to misrepresent the prewrath position—they do it all the time, and don’t care. They do it on purpose and we know this because they have been repeatedly corrected in private emails and in public on the Internet. This is why Thomas Ice […]
The Feasts of the Lord by Marvin Rosenthal
The Feasts of the Lord by Marvin Rosenthal “This revealing book will give you a fresh and in-depth understanding of the richness of Israel’s seven God-ordained festivals! The feasts were a way of life for God’s Chosen People, the means by which they displayed and expressed their dependence on and gratitude toward Him. But did […]
Is There a Connection Between the Purpose of the Blowing of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah and the End of Satan’s Authority at the Seventh Trumpet?
Today is Rosh Hashanah (“the Feast of Trumpets”), the first day of the new year, 5775 in the Jewish calender. I am attending Judaism’s two high holiday services here in North Jersey (Rosh Hashanah today and Yom Kippur 10 days later). I have been studying different aspects of these Jewish holidays and discovered an interesting […]

Pretribulationism argues that the body of twenty-four elders “represent” the church and therefore the rapture will happen before the “tribulation period.” I responded to a couple of their key arguments and showed […]
King James Only Cult Leader Steven Anderson Demonstrates His Carnal Nature
I’d rather not address Steven Anderson and his vile and despicable antics, once again. I don’t find joy in it. But because there are some undiscerning prewrathers out there that follow his material, I am compelled to expose this enemy of God and of his people. In unqualified terms, this man is a wolf in […]
Judeo-centric Premillennialism: Concerning Christ’s Pre-Millennial Advent by Horatius Bonar
“This volume was originally titled Prophetical Landmarks, containing data for helping to determine the question of Christ’s premillennial advent. However, a more contemporary title has been added which emphasizes the author’s strong conviction that the truth concerning Israel is at the heart of biblical eschatology. This principle is stated on page 111 in the chapter […]
