I obviously disagree with Hal Lindsey’s pretribulationism and his past publications based on sensationalism, but I thought this excerpt was informative and may explain the strategy behind Antichrist’s actions when he breaks the future seven-year covenant, assuming, of course, the Antichrist will be Islamic. It is from his The Everlasting Hatred: The Roots of Jihad […]

I explained why it is important to understand this fallacy of biblical interpretation because it impinges upon our theology of biblical prophecy. I then defined the word-concept fallacy, that it is an assumption that […]
Want to Learn Koine Greek? Beginning and Intermediate Greek Grammars, Linguistics, and Biblical Resources
I plan to post an extended bibliography on Greek linguistics. But I know some of you will want to get up and running right now. Here is my opinion.

I have refuted both of Dr. Ben Witherington’s claims here: https://www.alankurschner.com/2014/10/08/as-it-was-in-the-days-of-noah-do-you-want-to-be-left-behind-or-taken-at-the-second-coming-of-jesus-matthew-2437-41-ep-9/ https://www.alankurschner.com/2014/09/03/does-the-bible-teach-the-rapture-an-explanation-of-1-thessalonians-417-ep-4/
Sign Me Up for the 2015 Orlando Prophecy Conference! “A television that is displayed into the mirror in every bathroom!”
I kid you not folks, the pretrib 2015 Orlando Prophecy Conference is promoting their conference through—not actual biblical teaching—but showcasing it with this: “This hotel is equipped with the latest amenities including a television that is displayed into the mirror in every bathroom!” Think I am joking? Here you go. But wait, there’s more! “The […]

James 5:7–9 – A Pretrib Imminent Rapture or An Expectant Second Coming of Christ? – Ep. 10
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/010-James_5.7-9.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI examined James 5:7–9 arguing that this very popular pretribulational prooftext does not teach that the rapture is “imminent.” Instead, James is teaching that the Lord’s return—his second coming (parousia)—is expectant. The pretribulational definition of imminence is that there cannot be any prophesied events that must occur […]
Responding to Historicism on Matthew 24:15–31
I wrote this piece about three years ago and I want to repost it because it is important in that it refutes the most common interpretation of the Olivet Discourse on the issue of the relationship between the abomination of desolation and the parousia of Christ. https://www.alankurschner.com/2011/12/04/eutheos-immediately-in-matthew-2429-undermines-historicism/
