There are similarities between Ezekiel and John’s descriptions of the new city. However, many interpreters believe they conflict on the issue of the measurements of the size of the new city. Janet Willis has shown with clarity in her What On Earth Is Heaven Like? A Look at God’s City: New Jerusalem that interpreters have […]

Ladd points out a biblical absurdity within the traditional pretribulation interpretation that is related to the pretrib view that the Holy Spirit is the Restrainer (there have been exceptions to this of variant views […]

Does the Appearing (Epiphaneia) of Christ Occur Seven Years After the Pretrib Rapture?
Yesterday, I critiqued the pretribulation belief that claims the revelation (apokalypsis) of Christ will occur, not at the rapture, but when Jesus comes “with his saints” for the battle of Armageddon. Similarly, pretribulationists make the same claim about the appearing of Christ, that it will not take place at the rapture but at the end […]
Does the Revelation (Apokalypsis) of Christ Occur at Armageddon Seven Years After the Pretrib Rapture?
Pretribulationism claims when Jesus returns to resurrect and rapture the people of God, this coming “for the church” will not be known to the world. The revelation (apokalypsis) of Christ, on the other hand, it is argued, will be known to all the world at the end of the seventieth week of Daniel (i.e. seven […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/The_Greek_GRAMMAR_in_2_Thessalonians_23_Supports_Prewrath_-_Ep._147.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedDr. Kurschner demonstrated grammatical parallels in other New Testament passages to the grammatical construction found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. This evidence clearly supports the prewrath position and contradicts pretribulationism. Pretribulational interpreters attempt to argue that Paul in 2 Thess 2:3 teaches that the “apostasy” and “the revelation […]
Are the 144,000 Israelites ‘Saved’ in Revelation 7?
I view the 144,000 Israelites in Rev 7:4–8 as sealed in the sense of God choosing them to be saved when the end of the seven-year period is completed, fulfilling Daniel’s 70 week prophecy of the nation of Israel when they recognize Jesus as Messiah. They are also sealed in the sense of protection from the impending […]
