The Sad State of Pretrib Prophecy Conferences These Days. . .
Looking over some of the topics discussed at this recent “prophecy” conference, you would think one needed a copy of 1 Enoch instead of the Bible.

A Brief Response to Jeff Kinley’s Misinterpretation of Jesus’ Words “As It Was in the Days of Noah . . . ” –Matthew 24:37–39
For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. […]
