A person recently objected to my premillennialism by asserting: The problem (one of them) with premill as I see it, is that the clear NT passages appear to teach unequivocally that when Jesus returns, there is the last judgement and then the final new heavens and the new earth. The problem with this objection is […]

I explained the consistency between Joel, Jesus, and the book of Revelation. The celestial disturbance event demonstrates the biblical […]
You Must Understand This One Point in Order to Grasp the Flow of Matthew 24. . .
Many interpreters miss the most important structural element in Jesus’ Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24–25. After they read “and then the end will come” in verse 14, they assume everything that comes after that beginning in verse 15 are events that occur during the end of the age. This is deeply mistaken. The end is […]
What Does Noah and the Antichrist Have in Common?…
Recently, there is a lot of chatter out there about Jesus comparing his return to the days of Noah. But these people are getting it wrong.

Seals, Trumpets, Bowls – At the Same Time or One After the Other? i.e. Concurrent-Recapitulation or Consecutive-Progressive?
I am writing a book responding to posttribulationism. It will be the first prewrath book that substantively engages the posttribulational view.

My hope is that it will […]

(h.t. J.T.) May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives! The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright. God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day. If a […]
“Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD arrives” — Malachi 4:5
The Old Testament prophet Malachi foretold that Elijah the prophet would arrive before the day of the Lord: “Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD arrives” (Mal 4:5). John the Baptist was a type or pattern of Elijah, but he was not the fulfillment of […]
