We addressed the very deep-seated assumption that many hold where Revelation 19 and its depiction of Jesus on a horse in the sky at the battle of Armageddon describes the beginning of the second coming of Christ. Amillennialists, pretribulationists, posttribulationists, and […]

Articles for Posttribulationism to Consider
Prewrath and posttribulationism share some affinities with each other. However, there are some important differences as well, differences that I think many posttribulationists have not considered. Hence, I am providing this list of articles containing issues for posttribulation rapturists to consider from a prewrath perspective. Seals, Trumpets, Bowls – At the Same Time or […]
A Quick Response to Pretrib Teacher and Pastor Geoffrey Kirkland
Geoffrey Kirkland makes the mistake of indicating that his pretribulationism is the only interpretation of futuristic premillennialism. He does not even use the term “pretribulationism.” He just (wrongly) assumes futuristic premillennialism is the same thing as his eschatological pretrib framework, which misleads his readers. They are not the same thing. Pretribultionism is one interpretation of […]

It is not the same thing. The problem as I pointed out in this episode is that prewrath also believes that […]

(VIDEO) A Reply to Scott Clarke’s ‘The Great Sign of Revelation 12’ Theory
I want to respond to a few points in a video from Scott Clarke, who evidently introduced the recent “Great Sign Revelation 12” theory (the video is down below). I will be responding to him more in the future on various aspects of his pretribulational Revelation 12 rapture theory. So this is just the first […]
Billy Crone Commits a Form of the Ancient Heresy of Dualism
Billy Crone in defending pretribulationism as you can see in the video below (starting at 10:10) argues fallaciously that since Jesus opens up the seals, therefore the seals must be God’s eschatological wrath. In other words, in his thinking Jesus cannot be sovereign and have good purposes in his divine decree for the persecution of […]
