I am not a fan of sound-bite or twitter-size theology because sometimes it generates more questions than answers. Nevertheless, I understand that there are contexts that you may only have a narrow window of time to succinctly state your position. So here is my summary: The church will first experience the Antichrist’s great tribulation, which […]

Imminency versus Prophecy
Doug Eigsti has written an extensive article refuting pretribulational imminency entitled, “Imminency versus Prophecy.” You can download the article as a PDF here. See page 4–5 for the contents and purpose of the article.
Will the Church Be Persecuted by Antichrist for Three and One-Half Years Before the Rapture?
John Accomando writes, [D]oes Scripture teach that we’ll be here for the full 3.5 years? Yes: Daniel 7:25- “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a […]
Revelation 16:15 “Look! I will come like a thief! . . .”
“(Look! I will come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not lose his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful condition be seen.)” (Rev 16:15 NET) Posttribulationists frequently use Revelation 16:15 to support their position. They argue that Rev 16:14–16 indicates that […]
Why I Am Not A Posttribulationist
I will be writing up three “Why I am not a…” articles on posttribulationism, midtribulationism, pretribulationism. This will be the first one. I am not going to give my argumentation in these articles since that would requires scores of pages, so I refer the reader to my forthcoming book, Antichrist Before the Day of the […]
Biola, Hultberg, and Prewrath
In the most recent issue of Biola Magazine, the featured article is, “What is the Rapture and When Will it Happen?” by Alan Hultberg. It is encouraging to see a major Christian university that has historically been pretribulational to promote the prewrath position. The article asks Hultberg a handful of questions on the second coming […]
Another Striking Parallel Between Jesus and Paul Documented
I have documented over 25 parallels between Jesus and Paul’s eschatological teaching, demonstrating clearly that Paul is dependent on Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, contra preterism and pretribulationism. Up to this point, I have overlooked another parallel, a conceptual and verbal parallel: “meeting” (apantesis). In Paul’s teaching, he is referring to the rapture when he mentions “meeting” the […]
God’s Three-Fold Purpose For the Rapture
[Be sure to listen to the program on this issue] As a preface, it should be noted that at Christ’s return, not only are the alive-in-Christ raptured but the dead-in-Christ who are resurrected are raptured as well together with the alive: “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together […]

An Encouraging “Prewrath Pamphlet Story”
A month ago I began publishing the Prewrath Pamphlet Series™ and now, thanks to many of you, there are thousands in print and disseminated all over this country (It is argued that Thomas Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense was the difference in the Revolutionary War!). Many people, who would not otherwise read a book on prewrath, […]
