I first described the context of this verse in Thessalonians 4:13-16, leading up to verse 17. Second, I expounded on verse 17 and the […]
Small Group Bible Studies on Biblical Prophecy Starting up in the Fall!…
I am aware of a lot of small group studies on the second coming of Christ starting up in a week for the fall season. Many of these groups have taken advantage of the bulk discount of 10 copies at $5.00 each for Prewrath: A Very Short Introduction to the Great Tribulation, Rapture, and Day […]
Three Views of the Rapture – Pre-Tribulationism (Michael Svigel), Pre-Wrath (Alan Kurschner), and Post-Tribulationism (Craig Blomberg)
We have a lot of new readers on this blog, so I thought it would be helpful to re-post an interview where I represented the pre-wrath position. Michael Svigel represented pre-tribulationism, and Craig Blomberg represented post-tribulationism. There was a final Q&A section. Mike Svigel – Pretribulationism Alan Kurschner – Prewrath Craig Blomberg – Posttribulationism Questions and […]

What Is the Visionary Mode of the Book of Revelation? Movie Theater and/or Virtual Reality?
There are no published commentaries on the book of Revelation that I can recommend.
