And let them be […]

God has worked with Israel and the church at the same time in the past…
God has worked with Israel and the church at the same time in the past, he does in the present, and he will in the future. Here is a bit on the past. In the Past God worked with Israel during the church age in AD 70. Before the death of Jesus during the Old […]
Did God Break His Promise to Israel?
This article is worth the read, which includes some helpful resources: “Can Old Testament verses speaking of Israel be legitimately reinterpreted by the New?

(VIDEO) An Easy Refutation of Pretrib Pastor Joey Wampler on the 24 Elders
I have replied to this common pretrib argument before here and here. Incidentally, pastor Wampler, first, you have to understand that Steven Anderson holds to a warped view of the prewrath rapture.
