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 […]

The Meaning of Rosh Hashanah (Video)
“Before Rosh Hashanah begins tonight, we wanted to tell you what it is, how it is celebrated, and what it means for believers in Yeshua!” “The LORD spoke to Moses: ‘Tell the Israelites, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a complete rest, a memorial announced by loud […]
Pseudo-Ephraem Is NOT a Pretribulation Document
Pretribulationists are fond to cite Pseudo-Ephraem as support for a pretrib rapture. Charles Cooper has written the following article (Pseudo-Ephraem), which reveals that the author actually places the return of Jesus for the Church after the Antichrist has already arrived, not before. This document is also a teachable example for pretribs. The MO for how […]
The SAME DAY Noah Entered the Ark, the Flood Began – NOT Seven Days Later!
On occasion I hear some pretrib teachers attempt to argue for a gap of time between the rapture and the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel, which they wrongly equate with the Day of the Lord’s wrath. They do this to try to get around the “Before the Day of the Lord” passages […]
Pretrib J. D. Farag’s Feeble Faith CONTRASTED with the Bold Faith of Iranian Women
All prewrath is teaching is that there will be an unprecedented persecution of Christians just before Jesus returns. And yet, this message is so offensive to many pretribs that they feel compelled to write books against prewrath, calling it heresy, “Satanic,” and even likening our persecution theology to wife beating! Of course there are more […]

The Background to the Sealing of the 144,000: Ezekiel 9 and Exodus 12
The 144,000 faithful Israelites in Revelation 7:1–8 are protected on earth with a seal of God from the impending wrath that will be poured out on the world through the trumpet and bowl judgments when the seventh seal is opened. The likely thematic background for this sealing from impending divine wrath is found in Ezekiel […]
Is the Eighth King ‘Of the SEVEN’ or ‘Of the SEVENTH’? (Revelation 17:11)
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 […]
