3 Problems with the Historicist Interpretation of the ‘Great Tribulation’ in Matt 24

by

The preterist interpretation of the referent to the “great tribulation” in Matt 24 identifies it with the destruction and persecution associated with the events in Jerusalem in AD 70. Many of these preterists are postmillennial and some amillennial. The futurist interpretation of the referent to the “great tribulation” in Matt 24 identifies it with the […]

The Irreconcilable Contradiction within Amillennialism

by

The following comments from J. Webb Mealy is what I consider to be the most significant problem—contradiction—in all of amillennial theology. It is simply irreconcilable within their theological system. Every premillennial person should learn this point of contradiction well and be able to challenge amillennialists with it. “[Amillennialism believes since] Satan’s release from prison and […]

What’s Wrong with Preterism?

by

Dr Michael Brown speaks with Brock Hollett about his new book Debunking Preterism. You can hear the discussion here.

Hollett formerly embraced preterism while earning his Master of Divinity at Midwestern Baptist Theological […]

A simple question for those who insist that the wicked are ‘taken’ in Matt 24

by

There are some who continue to insist—rather than provide exegetical evidence—that the wicked in Matt 24 are “taken,” not left behind. My simple question to them is this: Since the parables and illustrations in Matthew 24–25 are intended to illustrate the separation event at the parousia in Matt 24:31, does “gather his elect” sound like […]

Those Left Behind in Matt 24 Are the Wicked for Judgment – NOT the Righteous

by

I see a lot of posttribs, amillennialists, and historical premillennialists who claim that those who are left behind in Matt 24 are actually the righteous who are delivered, and those who are taken are the wicked for judgment. This is backwards. Those who argue this way typically do not actually support their view from the […]

The ‘Lost Tribes of Israel’ and the 144,000 in Revelation 7:1–8 (Video)

by

In the 1800s there were theologians who mocked the notion that Israel would one day be gathered and become a nation again. This presupposition of limiting God led to them spiritualizing many Bible prophecy passages in the Bible. These same type of replacement theologians today view the passage of the Israelite 144,000 in Revelation 7:1–8 […]

‘How could God have explained [the land promise] any more clearly?’

by

Recently, I posted a debate on replacement theology between Michael Brown and Munther Isaac with Gary Burge as the moderator. There was one exchange in the debate toward the end that is worth the price of the debate. Michael Brown asked a very honest and direct question on the land promise that goes to the […]

Revelation 19 Does NOT Depict the Start of the Second Coming (Video)

by

As many are aware prewrath eschatology teaches that the second coming (parousia) of Jesus begins—not in Rev 19— but rather between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals in Rev 7 with the rapture and resurrection occurring with the innumerable multitude of believers appearing in heaven out of the period of the great tribulation. […]
