This is a brief lexical note. Revelation 17:11 uses the cardinal number ἑπτά, hepta (“seven”) and not the ordinal number ἕβδομος, hebdomos (“seventh”). So the eighth king will come “from (or of) the seven” and not “from the seventh.” καὶ τὸ θηρίον ὃ ἦν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ αὐτὸς ὄγδοός ἐστιν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἑπτά […]

5G Towers Are NOT about ‘faster downloads on your phone’ . . .
. . . make no mistake about it, it is about the State seeking absolute surveillance of its citizens.

Why the Greek in John 7:51 and Mark 3:27 Supports Prewrath in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 that the Apostasy and the Antichrist Will FIRST [Proton] Happen BEFORE the Day of the Lord
Pretribulational interpreters attempt to argue that Paul in 2 Thess 2:3 teaches that the “apostasy” and “the revelation of the man of lawlessness” will happen “during” the day of the Lord and not before it. But the Greek does not support such an interpretation. Rather, we shall see it clearly supports the prewrath interpretation that […]

The Noahic, Lot, and Thief Illustrations CONTRADICT Pretribulationism
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage—right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just […]

A Reply to Steve Cioccolanti’s Unbiblical Gibberish and a Statistical Explanation of the Numbers ‘1’, ’11’, ‘111’ and ‘1111’
To follow up with an additional point to my response to Prophecy Watchers promoting unbiblical teaching (here). Steve Cioccolanti claims the Bible teaches that the number eleven is “chaos.” Of course, he just pulls this out from—not the Bible—but from thin air, arbitrarily stating: “From the Bible, 11 is the number of chaos. It’s 12 […]
This Is Why PROPHECY WATCHERS Is Distracted and Deceived from Sound Biblical Prophecy (Video)
God help us. The Church is utterly unprepared for the soon-arrival of the Antichrist’s great tribulation, thanks to foolish distractions such as this from Prophecy Watchers.
David Rosenthal on Revelation 6–7 (Prewrath Video)
This is a helpful summary of what prewrath teaches on Revelation 6–7. While I view the fourth seal as the cause of the persecution and resultant martyrdom of the saints depicted in the fifth seal during the Antichrist’s great tribulation, David Rosenthal’s summary articulates a consistent, coherent picture of the progression of events in Revelation […]

The core teaching of the prewrath position that the church would face the Antichrist before the day of the Lord’s wrath is not new. In fact, every early church father who wrote on this topic believed this. What is new is some of the refinements of eschatology that were articulated by Marvin Rosenthal and Van […]
