A public debate challenge for Andy Woods to defend his new book: The Falling Away: Spiritual Departure or Physical Rapture?: A Second Look at 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Andy Woods has recently written a booklet (54 pages): The Falling Away: Spiritual Departure or Physical Rapture?: A Second Look at 2 Thessalonians 2:3. He interprets the Greek word apostasia (the apostasy/falling away) as referring to the rapture. “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes […]
I agree with L. A. Marzulli’s View of UFOs, BUT, and this is a big BUT. . .
L. A. Marzulli was recently on Prophecy Watchers talking about what he is mainly known for: the UFO phenomenon (see video below). When I say I agree with him on UFO’s, I am speaking generally in that genuine UFO phenomenon is demonic in origin. This interpretation is nothing new. If, for example, you grew up […]
Petra – Creed (Lyrics)
May you hold steadfast to this creed, even to the point of the Antichrist’s sword.
Why the second coming of Jesus is so offensive to many . . .
If you want to offend someone, tell them they are a sinner in need of the savior Jesus. If you really want to offend someone, tell them that Jesus is returning to disrupt their routine. The gospel is about the good news of Jesus’s first and second coming. Until God takes away the sinner’s stoney […]
Why should I expect the Antichrist to arrive this generation?
I thought I made it clear in yesterday’s post why I believe this. But let me answer and clarify it again. I believe this for the same reason why I expect Jesus to arrive this generation. If we think that the Antichrist could not meaningfully arrive this generation, then we should not believe that Jesus […]
Why We Should Expect the Antichrist to Arrive THIS Generation
Premise 1: The Bible teaches that Jesus can return during any generation (e.g. Matt 24:36–25:30). Premise 2: The Bible teaches that the Antichrist will arrive before Jesus’s return (e.g. 2 Thess 2:8). Conclusion: Therefore, the church should have a real expectation to face the Antichrist’s arrival this generation. Conversely, if we think that the Antichrist […]
How Do We Know that the Events of the Great Tribulation Begin at Matt 24:9 and Not 24:15?
I am asked if the events in Matt 24:9–14 portray events throughout church history or during the future seven-year period. “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations because of my name. Then many will be led into sin, and they will […]
Any Discussion on Who Is the Restrainer in 2 Thess 2 Must Contend with—Not Ignore—Colin Nicholl’s Research
Recently, there have been radio programs discussing the referent to the apostle Paul’s mention of a “restrainer.” What is baffling is that these programs have completely ignored Colin Nicholl’s research on the evidence of Michael being the Restrainer. Scholars in the last ten years who have been writing commentaries and other monographs have of course […]
Helpful Commentaries on the Gospel of Matthew (e.g. the Olivet Discourse)
Yesterday, I wrote up an article explaining why I cannot recommend any commentaries on the Gospel of Matthew on the Olivet Discourse in Matt 24–25. That being said, I mentioned that I have benefited from commentaries, in this case with respect to Matthew 24–25. (Commentaries are not my first resource I consult. I first interpret […]
