Let’s call it by that name. So, what is “The Pretrib Contradiction”? I’ll put it in syllogistic terms to highlight the unsound pretrib logic: Premise 1: Pretribulationism claims that 1 Thessalonians 5:9 is a promise that exempts Christians from the future day of the Lord’s wrath: “For God did not destine us for wrath but […]
Eschatos Ministry’s Amazon Resource List
One way to support Eschatos Ministries is to help us with research resources at our Amazon Resource List. These books are for specialized research.

Did Paul Redefine ‘Israel’ in Romans 2:28–29?
i) One problem is the “Jewish question”. Is God faithful to the promises he made to the patriarchs (e.g. Rom 3:4; 11:2)? If the recipient of a promise can be “redefined”, after the fact, then in what respect has God made good on his promises? If God can swap out the original referent and swap […]
‘7 Reasons Your Church Should Take Eschatology Seriously’ by Vlach
It is concerning that some churches today don’t take eschatology seriously. The very fact that God has revealed so many details about events to come in both testaments tells us that it is important.

The Evangelical Free Church of America Adds ‘Prewrath’ to their ‘Theological Definitions and Positions’ Document
The Evangelical Free Church of America added the Prewrath position to their “Theological Definitions and Positions” Document. Does the EFCA have a position on the tribulation or rapture? Though the EFCA is premillennial, we embrace the breadth of premillennialism, including the various positions of Dispensationalism, Progressive Dispensationalism, and Historic Premillennialism. The broader view of premillennialism, […]
