Author and artist Janet L. Willis wrote the children’s book on the coming New Jerusalem, God’s Got a House and It’s Coming to Earth.

Where Is the Rapture in the Book of Revelation?
Prewrath makes a convincing argument that Rev 7:9–17 portrays the result of the raptured and resurrected people of God. There is, however, another passage in the Apocalypse that I believe pictures the rapture in action using harvest imagery: “Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of […]

Satan’s Present Activity Does Not Describe Revelation 20:1–3 | Grant Osborne’s Revelation Commentary
Grant R. Osborne. Revelation. Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament. Grand Rapids: Baker, 2002 Osborn’s commentary on Revelation is a helpful commentary to own since he interprets from a premillennial and futurist approach. His Arminianism, however, is evident and ends up skewing some of his interpretations, and his Posttribulationist beliefs are misguided. Despite […]
