I would take issue with one thing he said at the very end of this video. As many posttribulationists think, he unfortunately fails to recognize the biblical distinction between the Antichrist’s great tribulation and the day of the Lord’s wrath. Other than that I appreciate everything else he said.

VIDEO: The 144,000 Jews in the Book of Revelation Are NOT ‘Jewish Evangelists’
I talked about the pretrib assumption that interprets the 144,000 Jews in Revelation 7 as ‘evangelists.’ They are not. They are sealed by angels to protect them from the impending day of the Lord’s wrath that will soon come upon the world at the opening of the seventh seal. This remnant of Jews will be […]
“Jews could never follow a non-Jewish Antichrist”
I haven’t really written much on the ethnicity or the religion of the future Antichrist. When I have written on the subject of the Antichrist my energies have been focused on his revelation as it relates to the rapture and the day of the Lord’s wrath. But I want to make a few comments on […]

For example, Thomas Ice thinks the term “elect” in Matthew’s Olivet Discourse refers to Jews who will be gathered. He links v. 31 to Deuteronomy 30:4. […]
A Redeemer Will Come To Zion
In Matthew 23, in his lament over Jerusalem, Jesus says, “For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” Jesus predicts a return to Jerusalem at a time when those in Jerusalem will acknowledge that he comes in the name […]
