How many times have you been told that the abomination of desolation, as well as the great tribulation, in Matthew 24:15–21 is not an event that will be fulfilled in the future? Many times. Most amillennialists and historical premillennialists think that the abomination of desolation in Matt 24:15 was caused by Titus in AD 70. […]
The Fourth Cup in The Passover
Where Is the Rapture in the Book of Revelation?
This is good ol’ fashion comparing Scripture with Scripture. Notice all five passages link between (1) Christ appearing in the sky and (2) the gathering of God’s people. 1 Thessalonians 4:15–17 “For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming [parousia] of […]
I have another question for pretribbers on so-called “losing your blessed hope”
To follow up on my previous blog post, I have another question for pretribbers that I would like the answer to. Since you (pretribbers) claim that believers would lose their blessed hope if they were persecuted by the Antichrist, then by that reasoning you must believe that so-called “tribulation saints” will lose their blessed hope […]
A simple question for pretribbers
Can you show me one passage in the Bible that teaches persecution of believers by God’s enemy robs them of their blessed hope in Jesus? One will suffice. In the meantime: “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As […]
Is the Gap Between the 69th and 70th Week an Exception?
I want to comment on a pretrib argument. The argument goes something like this: God works with both the church and Israel during the “gap” between the sixty-ninth and seventieth week, but he does not work with the church during any of Daniel’s seventy years prophecy, including the seventieth week; therefore the church must be raptured […]
Is the Apocalypse Here? . . . You Would Think So With All the Chatter about Plagues, Locusts, Etc.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of pastors in America cannot answer this question, because they are woefully—and willfully!— ignorant of biblical prophecy. Eschatology matters. And it will continue to matter more as time unfolds. In recent weeks, I have seen the most irresponsible cherry picking from the Bible concerning Apocalyptic themes, haphazardly linking this world event […]

Just Another Bible Prophecy That Contradicts Pretrib Imminence Theology
There are many examples like this that disprove the pretrib “any moment” rapture view, but here is one from the book of Acts: “The Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, ‘Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent, because I am with you, and no one will assault […]
Why Is It Jesus Who Breaks the Seals of the Scroll?
The short answer is because Christ is portrayed as the (1) omniscient witness to all deeds and to humanity’s guilt, and (2) the agent of God’s judgment (Rev 1:14–16; 2:12, 16, 18, 23–27; 5:1–8). The long answer is that the seals function as bringing to open humanity’s guilt before God, so that Jesus’s judgment against […]
