Norris: [W]hat kind of glory would it bring the Father to physically persecute His Son’s bride before His Son is married to her? I don’t know about you, but I think that is a sick and twisted concept. Yet this is what the pre-wrath crowd is wanting the Church to believe. (Source here). Wesley Norris […]
Israel, an Economic Superpower?
Those who have objected that the eschatological Israel (or Jerusalem) cannot be the Babylonian Harlot have often done so because Israel is not an economic super power, a qualification given in the book of Revelation. But that objection may no longer hold water, or should I say oil? Israel’s Oil Weapon. Seemingly out of nowhere, […]
Some Things Just Speak For Themselves…
Wesley Norris: [It is] blasphemous to put the revealing of Antichrist before Jesus and the Church. The apostle Paul: Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him… For [the day of the Lord] will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is […]
Antichrist and Alka-Seltzer™ for Wesley
Eschatology matters, folks, as the following prerib rant demonstrates from a Wesley Norris who essentially calls Jesus and Paul’s warnings to the church blasphemous. If you can’t argue against it biblically, try calling it blasphemous! (I don’t mean to minimize Wesley’s slanderous accusation against God’s Word). See also Ryan Habbena’s response in the link (source […]
A Note on Daniel 9:27 and Antichrist’s Covenant-Making (Gābar)
He [Antichrist] will confirm [gābar] a covenant with many for one week [i.e., seven years]. But in the middle of that week he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt. On the wing of abominations will come one who destroys, until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys. (Dan 9:27, […]

The Eschatological United Nations
(1) In the future the LORD’s Temple Mount will be the most important mountain of all; it will be more prominent than other hills. People will stream to it. (2) Many nations will come, saying, “Come on! Let’s go up to the LORD’s mountain, to the temple of Jacob’s God, so he can teach us […]
Where Is Your Sense of Urgency in Evangelism?
I recommend reading this very thoughtful article by Tony Miano. My only beef with it is that Miano is mistaken when he invokes an “any moment” rapture as a motivation for evangelizing the lost to come to Christ. Scripture never teaches imminence, let alone a motivation for coming to Christ. What Scripture does teach as […]

The Beginnings of Amillennialism
The Beginnings of Amillennialism: Defective Hermeneutic, Spiritualizing, Anti-Jewish, Anti-Physical, and Over-Realized Eschatology I love the Reformers, Calvin, Luther, Zwingli, Carlstadt, et al. But they did not go far enough in their reforms, especially in their eschatology. However, we cannot blame them for they were preoccupied with reforming the doctrines of Scripture, Salvation, and the Church from the […]
Prewrath Defined in One Sentence
I am not a fan of sound-bite or twitter-size theology because sometimes it generates more questions than answers. Nevertheless, I understand that there are contexts that you may only have a narrow window of time to succinctly state your position. So here is my summary: The church will first experience the Antichrist’s great tribulation, which […]
