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 […]
Prewrath
From the Archive: A Prewrath Story
Frequently I get prewrath stories and they are always enjoyable to read. I also post them every so often. One of my favorite ones is this classic story sent to me about pretrib teacher Herman Hoyt’s response when he was asked about the prewrath position. https://www.alankurschner.com/2011/12/04/leading-pretrib-teacher-herman-hoyt-goes-ballistic-when-asked-about-prewrath/

There is no commitment at this point, since he will be oversees just before October 10. So I have suggested that I can come to Santa Barbara on a day that […]
A Message for Robert Courson
The following article is making its rounds on the Internet. Jesus Christ is coming soon — suddenly and silently — to “rapture” his church; the anti-Christ will ascend to dominate world power and the wrath of God will be unleashed upon sinful man during the tribulation period, he said. – Robert Courson http://www.commercial-news.com/local/x2117435464/Book-warns-people-to-be-prepared Robert Courson is steeped […]
The New “Left Behind” Movie and a Forthcoming Prewrath Book
My major book on refuting pretribulationism will be out this fall: Prewrath Answering Pretribulationism: A Biblical and Theological Critique. I cannot promise, but I hope, it will be out on October 3rd coinciding with the pretribulational film Left Behind. In any event, the aim is this fall. Prewrath Answering Pretribulationism will thoroughly answer thirty-five of […]
The Natural Progression to the Onset of the Day of the Lord’s Wrath
The prewrath position makes the most sense out of the seals in the book of Revelation. Prewrath places the resurrection and the rapture between the opening of the sixth and seventh seal (Rev 7:9–17). This happens just before the day of the Lord’s wrath begins at the opening of the seventh seal containing the judgment […]
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. […]
Doctrinal Deception and Apathy – Eschatology Matters
Remember, I have told you ahead of time –Matthew 24:25 This warning captures the mission of Eschatos Ministries, which is why I placed it in the banner above. There are five opponents to this divine warning about the future coming of Antichrist’s great tribulation. 1. Pan-Tribulationism. This view is the most dangerous in my opinion. […]

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. To understanding Jesus’ warning about his return being like the days of Noah (Matt 24:37–39), you have to understand that he made this warning in the context of when […]
