Greg Laurie asserts: Where are we today in relation to all of this? God has been pouring out his Spirit on the church, but that time is coming to an end. And it is my opinion that the next event on the prophetic calendar is the rapture of the church. The Bible says it will […]
Interviewed on Whether Matthew 24 Applies to the Church
Today, Chris White interviewed me on the subject of the applicability of Matthew 24. Does it apply to the Church or does it apply to “Jewish believers during the tribulation period” as pretribulationists claim.
“The Evidence For Jerusalem As The Harlot” by D. Ragan Ewing
http://bible.org/seriespage/chapter-4-evidence-jerusalem-harlot (Part of Ewing’s argument is the book of Revelation was written before AD 70, which I am not persuaded. Nevertheless, his other argumentation relating to the identification to the Harlot is valid.)
INBOX: We Need More Teachable Spirits Such as This…
I was listening to your study on Mathew 24:36 on Revelations radio and found it really interesting. I have been a hard core dispensationalist with a pre-trib position. Recently though I have found myself challenged with that position and find myself open to other positions. I am really new to this position, where do I […]
Moonlighting
These are trying economic times, and writing on biblical prophecy does not pay the bills, so I find gigs where I can sing about biblical prophecy.

Ezekiel 38–39 the Post-Millennial Battle
Over the years, I have been asked about my position on Ezekiel 38–39, namely, if it refers to the battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19:11–19, the post-millennial battle at the time when Satan is released from his prison in Revelation 20:7–10, or some other eschatological battle. My position is Ezekiel 38–39 describes the post-millennial battle. […]
Does Jesus Intend a Chronology in His Parable of the Wheat and Weeds?
There are at least three common questions that arise when people study the parable of the Wheat and the Weeds in Matthew 13. The first question is whether we are able to identify the wheat and weeds. I argue in a forthcoming book that responds to posttribulationism that the parable is not a picture of […]
Part 6 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
This is the last installment of our six-part series. The last reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in a helpful parallel passage in the gospel of Luke. The passage in Luke 17:22–37 parallels Matthew 24:23–41. Luke reads: (22) Then he said to the disciples, […]
Part 5 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
The fourth reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in the use of the term parousia. The term is used only four times in the gospels and are all found in Matthew 24:3, 27, 37, 39. Hart argues the parousia mentioned in verses 37 and […]
