Pretribulational eschatology teaches that the rapture is “signless” or “unannounced,” while the second coming will be preceded by signs and thus “announced.” There cannot be any intervening prophetic events or signs that will occur before the rapture. Hence, it can happen at any moment. If just a single, biblical, prophesied event happens before the rapture, […]

Joseph Farah of WND Moving Away from His Pretrib View…
I am encouraged to learn that Joseph Farah recently announced that he is moving away from his pretrib view to evidently a prewrath view: As a new believer nearly 40 years ago, I accepted the idea that born-again Christians would be raptured out of this world long before the world got Revelation-style ugly. I defended […]

Gary DeMar Fails Miserably in His Debate Defending Replacement Theology (aka Supersessionism)

Gary DeMar is stuck in 1970 when the The Late, Great Planet Earth was published by Hal Lindsey. I have noticed […]
An Apt Reply to Those Who Think the Olivet Discourse is “Jewish” and Therefore Not Instruction for the Church
In the 19th century, S. P. Tregelles wrote the best book responding to the first generation of pretribulationism, The Hope of Christ’s Second Coming. It is filled with nuggets and is required reading for any prewrather. He had a lot to say to the pretrib notion that the Olivet Discourse was not instruction for the […]
What Is Pretribulational Imminency? (aka “any moment secret rapture,” “imminent,” “imminence”)
Pretribulational theology teaches that the rapture will happen pre-tribulational—before the “tribulation” period. The sine qua non of pretribulationism is the belief in “imminency.” There are variations of this term: “imminent”: “imminence,” and “any moment.” The older terminology used the terms “secret coming” or “secret rapture.” Imminency is the heart of pretribulationism. Pretribulationism defines this notion […]

I am having a contest—and there is an award! So I am thinking about what image I can give the professional cover designer for my forthcoming book on imminence (the title will be released next month). I have thought of two ideas of an image: an old door that is closed (connoting the idea that […]
