A Program Note on The Biblical Prophecy Program: Resuming Next Week!
The past two to three weeks I have been researching Revelation 12, writing, and posting snippets on the blog. I have been preparing for an interview later this week for a television documentary on “The Great Sign” in Revelation 12 and whether this refers to Virgo, the rapture, and the date of September 23, and […]
X Marks the Spot? A Critique of the Use of Chiasmus in Macro-Structural Analyses of Revelation
chiasmus |kīˈazməs| noun; a rhetorical or literary figure in which words, grammatical constructions, or concepts are repeated in reverse order, in the same or a modified form. I do not believe that the ancient writers were intending to structure their texts through a chiasmus. It is not a valid hermeneutical category for New Testament studies. […]
Why ‘Heaven’ (Ouranō) in Revelation 12:1 Does NOT Refer to the Starry Sky | Great Sign, Constellation Virgo, September 23rd 2017, the Rapture
“Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.” (Rev 12:1 NET) I do not believe ‘heaven’ (ouranō) in Revelation 12:1 refers to the starry sky; and thereby, I do not think that the […]
Brannon Howse Slanders a Godly Leader
I rarely post anything other than eschatologically related material at this website. But I need to make an exception to call out Brannon Howse on his ugly slander against James White, a leading Christian apologist on the front lines of proclaiming the gospel to Muslims. And that is not an overstatement, White travels the world […]
“The ‘Church’ IS Found After All in Revelation 4–21!” | The Great Sign of Revelation 12, September 23, 2017
(You can follow my ongoing series critiquing Scott Clarke’s “Great Sign of Revelation 12” theory at this link.) I find it interesting that pretribbers who once exclaimed that since the word ‘church’ was not found between Revelation 4–21 therefore the rapture is pretrib, now are changing their view and seeing the “male child” in Revelation […]
(VIDEO) Audience Member Stumps Thomas Ice with Question at a Debate | Midwest Prophecy Conference, Calvary Chapel, Lafayette, IN
There was a recent debate at the pretrib 2017 Midwest Prophecy Conference, Calvary Chapel, Lafayette, IN: “Is the return of the Lord imminent?” between Dr. David Lehman and Dr. Tommy Ice. Both debate participants are pretrib; the former, however, denies imminence and attempted to argue that you can deny imminence and affirm pretribulationism. This is […]
(VIDEO) The BACKSTORY to Scottie Clarke’s FIRST Failed Prediction of the Rapture
(For future reference, you can follow my ongoing series critiquing Scott Clarke’s “Great Sign of Revelation 12” theory at this link.) As a preface I want to say that I am not “attacking” Scottie Clarke personally. He seems like a nice and sincere person. My intention is to refute his theory which I believe is […]
(VIDEO) A Reply to Scott Clarke’s ‘The Great Sign of Revelation 12’ Theory
I want to respond to a few points in a video from Scott Clarke, who evidently introduced the recent “Great Sign Revelation 12” theory (the video is down below). I will be responding to him more in the future on various aspects of his pretribulational Revelation 12 rapture theory. So this is just the first […]
Revelation 12, the Great Sign, the Woman, the Rapture, and September 23rd 2017
I have been asked a number of times what I think about the prophecy of Revelation 12 and the astronomical event this coming September 23rd 2017. Is there prophetic significance to this event? This issue has taken the Bible prophecy world by storm, to say the least. There are a number of factors to examine […]
(VIDEO) Pretrib Teacher Billy Crone Caught Denying Imminence
The Bible although it doesn’t give us the date of the rapture, it does give us indicators when it is getting close, the season (emphasis mine). —Billy Crone on Prophecy Watchers hosted by Gary Stearman –6/1/17 Sooner or later when you get pretrib teachers to talk a lot, they end up making statements that deny […]
