REVISITING THE QUESTION: Is the ‘Apostasy’ in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 a Reference to the Rapture?
I have addressed this question many times here and have shown that not only is there no evidence for this, but it is indicative of how many pretribs white-knuckle their pretrib Tradition.

The Great Tribulation Is Not God’s Wrath
P. E. Harris, pastor at Seely Community Church, has written a heart-felt article warning of the dangers of believing the notion that the Great Tribulation will be God’s Wrath.

(VIDEO) Debunking a Popular Hebrew Roots’ Interpretation of “But as for that day and hour no one knows it” Matthew 24:36
Joel Richardson does a good job in challenging the oft-repeated claims by Hebrew Roots date-setters that Jesus did not literally mean when he said, “But as for that day and hour no one knows it.” It is claimed that this was a “Jewish idiom” in the first century that carried an opposite meaning of what […]
