This is basically the sentiment of John Accomando who recently posted: If you’re going to call me out like that, [Alan Kurschner], I’m going to tell you that I’m not sure you’ve really done anything to prove your point: i. Accomando says, “If you’re going to call me out like that.” What? Calling someone out […]
Revelation 15:1 Seven Angels Who Have Seven Final [Eschatos] Plagues
Then I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final [eschatas] plagues (they are final because in them God’s anger is completed [etelesthē]). (Rev 15:1) John Accomando asserts: Revelation 15:1 doesn’t say that the vials “finish” the wrath of God. The Greek word is “teleō”, which also means “to […]
Revelation 16:15 “Look! I will come like a thief! . . .”
“(Look! I will come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not lose his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful condition be seen.)” (Rev 16:15 NET) Posttribulationists frequently use Revelation 16:15 to support their position. They argue that Rev 16:14–16 indicates that […]
Responding to Common Postrib Arguments
I was directed to some posttribulational comments by someone named John Accomando on a facebook group. I would like to respond to some of his objection to prewrath in a series. The first claim I will respond to in my next post is asserted by Accomando: What is the “icing on the cake” for me […]
Why I Am Not A Posttribulationist
I will be writing up three “Why I am not a…” articles on posttribulationism, midtribulationism, pretribulationism. This will be the first one. I am not going to give my argumentation in these articles since that would requires scores of pages, so I refer the reader to my forthcoming book, Antichrist Before the Day of the […]
Biola, Hultberg, and Prewrath
In the most recent issue of Biola Magazine, the featured article is, “What is the Rapture and When Will it Happen?” by Alan Hultberg. It is encouraging to see a major Christian university that has historically been pretribulational to promote the prewrath position. The article asks Hultberg a handful of questions on the second coming […]
Another Striking Parallel Between Jesus and Paul Documented
I have documented over 25 parallels between Jesus and Paul’s eschatological teaching, demonstrating clearly that Paul is dependent on Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, contra preterism and pretribulationism. Up to this point, I have overlooked another parallel, a conceptual and verbal parallel: “meeting” (apantesis). In Paul’s teaching, he is referring to the rapture when he mentions “meeting” the […]
“First of the ‘Left Behind’ series about to get an expensive remake”
Remember those kookie Left Behind books and movies depicting millions of believers vanishing and leaving the world wondering where they went? Through and through it is really, really flawed theology. But it gets worse. Its producer, Cloud Ten Pictures, a Christian film company in Ontario, plans on dumping about $15 million into this pablum “Christian” film […]
Are You Prepared to Give a Response to Unitarianism?
Even though the following quiz is for responding to Jehovah’s Witnesses, there is some application to responding to Jewish objections to the deity of Christ. Answering a JW Pop Quiz
God’s Three-Fold Purpose For the Rapture
[Be sure to listen to the program on this issue] As a preface, it should be noted that at Christ’s return, not only are the alive-in-Christ raptured but the dead-in-Christ who are resurrected are raptured as well together with the alive: “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together […]
