It should not be unexpected then that God will work with both Israel and the church at the same time in the future—particularly during […]

Virtue Signaling Pretribbers

by

Pop pretribbers are often heard invoking the virtuous platitude, “I’m not looking for the Antichrist, I’m looking for Jesus Christ.” It is intended to convey that pretribs are “truly” watchful for Jesus’s return because they think they will not have to first encounter the Antichrist before the rapture. This cutesy slogan sounds pious and virtuous, […]

A Response to John Hart’s Flawed Comparison between Jesus and Paul’s Use of the ‘Birth Pangs’ Metaphor

A Response to Ken Johnson’s Abuse of Reading His Pretribulation Rapture Back into the Early Church Writers (Video)

by

Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers interviewed Ken Johnson on his show this week. The program is an exercise of wishful thinking claiming that the early church writers were “pretribulationists” (see the video below). Anyone with a modicum of knowledge of what the early church writers taught on this issue understands that they taught that the […]

Jesus’s Return Was Not Imminent During Peter’s LONG Life

by

Source   (Update: I have been informed that further down the comments thread in the original fb page above, Dave James recognized that Jesus’s prophecy in John 21 was an issue that needed to be considered). John 21:18–19 states: “I tell you the solemn truth, when you were young, you tied your clothes around you […]

Every so often I post my list of responses to posttribulation theology.  So below is the link to my compendium of responses. While prewrath shares some affinity with posttrib there are significant differences. For example: 1. Prewrath does not believe that the second coming will be an instantaneous or single-day (simple) event. Rather, it will […]

The Greek Word Apantēsis (Meeting) Does Not Mean ‘an Immediate Escort’ Back to Earth: A Response to Posttribulationism

by

“Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet [apantēsis] the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.” (1 Thess 4:17) Recently, Michael Brown interacted with Mark Hitchcock on posttrib vs. pretrib. I thought Brown did well […]

Pretrib Pastor J. D. Farag talking with Jan Markell and Amir Tsarfati said, “This is not hyperbole.
