Traditional pretribulationists have consistently believed that the rapture and the inception of the day of the Lord’s wrath will occur back-to-back on the same day. Prewrath came along and pointed out the “Before the day of the Lord” passages (e.g. Joel 2:29–31; Mal 4:5; 2 Thess 2:3) and demonstrated that since the Bible teaches that […]

A Reply to David James Who Thinks It Is Possible that a TRUE Believer Can Take the Mark of the Beast and REMAIN Saved
It is worse than I thought. David James’s pretribulationism is incredibly incoherent and the man cannot be reasoned with in just normal discourse. That is unfortunate because as Christians we are called to have Christ-like discussions, which also includes representing the other side accurately and fairly. David James also holds to a false Gospel, thinking […]
My Positive Interaction with Progressive Dispensationalist Bruce Ware at the Annual ETS Meeting
A few weeks back I attended the annual ETS meeting in San Diego. The first unit I took in was on “The Future of Progressive Dispensationalism.” The session I heard was by Bruce A. Ware entitled, “The Hermeneutics of Progressive Dispensationalism (PD).” Ware is a pretribulational progressive dispensationalist. One of the principles of PD that […]
A Reply to Arnold Fruchtenbaum on the Identity of the Fifth Seal Martyrs
Arnold Fruchtenbaum claims: “[T]here is nothing in the context of the fifth seal to indicate [that the saints are martyred because they would not bow down to the Antichrist].”* On the contrary, Fruchtenbaum omits an important cohesive tie: “Now when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those […]
A Reply to Arnold Fruchtenbaum on so-called ‘Two Different Persecutions’ in Matthew 24
Arnold Fruchtenbaum claims: “The ‘persecution’ of in Matthew 24 follows the abomination, and the ‘persecution’ spoken of in the fifth seal precedes it. The two passages do not speak of the same persecutions but two distinct ones.” He then further clarifies that he sees a persecution for believers before 24:15 and a different persecution for […]

Spectator Vs. Participator Eschatology
Pretrib vs. Prewrath eschatology can be viewed from the perspective of Spectator vs. Participator eschatology. Pretrib eschatology represents adherents that possess a spectator posture. Pretrib books, films, and conferences tantalize their audiences with Bible prophecy from their safe spaces. They are convinced that they will never have to participate in the martyrdom of the Antichrist. […]
ANOTHER GLARING Inconsistent Pretrib Interpretation on Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy
Pretribulation interpreters reason that the church will not be part of the 70th week of Daniel (i.e. the last seven years) because it was not part of the 69 weeks. I have responded to this fallacious claim several times. But let me give you three reasons below, the third is a new counterexample I am […]
