Ezekiel 38–39 the Post-Millennial Battle
Over the years, I have been asked about my position on Ezekiel 38–39, namely, if it refers to the battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19:11–19, the post-millennial battle at the time when Satan is released from his prison in Revelation 20:7–10, or some other eschatological battle. My position is Ezekiel 38–39 describes the post-millennial battle. […]
Does Jesus Intend a Chronology in His Parable of the Wheat and Weeds?
There are at least three common questions that arise when people study the parable of the Wheat and the Weeds in Matthew 13. The first question is whether we are able to identify the wheat and weeds. I argue in a forthcoming book that responds to posttribulationism that the parable is not a picture of […]
Part 6 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
This is the last installment of our six-part series. The last reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in a helpful parallel passage in the gospel of Luke. The passage in Luke 17:22–37 parallels Matthew 24:23–41. Luke reads: (22) Then he said to the disciples, […]
Part 5 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
The fourth reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in the use of the term parousia. The term is used only four times in the gospels and are all found in Matthew 24:3, 27, 37, 39. Hart argues the parousia mentioned in verses 37 and […]
Perry Stone: “50,000 Hours of Bible Study” Failing to Prove the Post-trib View
Perry Stone in this video asserts, “After 50,000 hours of Bible study I have done everything I can to try to prove there will be a post-trib coming and I can’t prove it.” Sure, and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Why the sensational, goofy statements? Because he is talking to his […]

Part 4 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
The third reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is recognizing Jesus’ audience. Hart argues verses 4–35 are intended for a Jewish audience and verses 36–44 are for the church. However, both passages have the same audience of disciples. The second person plural “you” is found in […]
A Debate Challenge for Perry Stone
In this video, Perry Stone defending pretribulationism gives a convoluted argument trying to show that Matthew 24:31 is not speaking of the rapture but instead depicts the gathering of the Jews. His argument is namely based on a forced interpretation of the feasts onto Matthew 24. He also responds to the prewrath position which he […]
Part 3 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
The second reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in the natural antecedent. Verse 36 reads, “But as for that day and hour no one knows it—not even the angels in heaven—except the Father alone” (Matt 24:36). The immediate and natural antecedent of “that” day […]
Registration Now Open for the “Future Congress 2” Conference
Click Here to register. I am giving three lectures: The Celestial Disturbances and the Prewrath Rapture If there is any “key” to the rapture question, it should be found in the “celestial disturbance” event in the Bible. Kurschner shows that this celestial event serves a two-fold purpose: (1) It cuts short the Antichrist’s Great Tribulation, […]
