[See my update below] The following is a round table discussion among traditional dispensational exponents Dr. Mike Stallard, Dr. Christopher Cone, and Dr. Joseph Parle. At one point in the discussion (timestamp 54:10), Dr. Stallard makes the valid point against progressive dispensationalism that they function from an “already-not-yet” theological hermeneutic, which imposes an absolute meaning […]
Q&A
‘Jesus will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven’
“After he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight. As they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood near them and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up into […]

Pastor NAILS It on Prewrath! (Video)
It is refreshing to listen to a pastor not afraid to preach the truth of prewrath—and engage other views substantively! You need to watch this. I am amazed at the amount of ground he covered in this sermon. 20200321 Message from BRAVE Church on Vimeo.
An Unresolvable Contradiction in Posttribulationism
The Bible clearly teaches that when Jesus returns to pour out God’s eschatological wrath, the world will be caught off guard and oblivious of his sudden coming. For example, Jesus uses the Noahic illustration to teach that his return will be sudden upon the world: For just like the days of Noah were, so the […]
Is the ‘Great Day’ in Rev 6:17 the Same ‘Great Day’ in Rev 16:14?
This is a good question from the inbox: With regards to viewing the seals, trumpets and bowls as happening at the same time (concurrent-recapitulation) or as happening progressively (consecutive-progressive), there’s something I noticed that I haven’t seen you address so far (I might be wrong). Let’s compare the sixth seal with the sixth bowl: Revelation […]
Arguments of Silence
While pretribulationists are hard-pressed to show the church saints in heaven before the Antichrist’s great tribulation, posttribulationists, on the other hand, are hard-pressed to show the church saints on earth during the day of the Lord’s wrath.
My Initial Response to James White’s Postmillennialism
I am glad to see Dr. James White investigating eschatology. While I think he is wrong on postmillennialism and preterism, at least, contrary to popular opinion, it is a step closer to prewrath premillennialism. However, Dr. White has always practiced—and something I greatly respect—engaging the best arguments on the other side. But here is where […]
Is the ‘144,000’ the Same as the ‘Woman’?
QUESTION: Someone recently asked a good question: If we assume [the 144,000 are Jews], Rev. 7 says they are sealed because they will be on earth during God’s wrath. According to Rev. 7, this sealing will happen right about the same time the rapture happens (the “great multitude”). Now these are the questions: (1) Will […]
2 Reasons Why the Mark of the Beast Will Be a Physical-Literal Mark and Not Merely a Symbolic-Spiritual Truth
“He also caused everyone (small and great, rich and poor, free and slave) to obtain a mark on their right hand or on their forehead. Thus no one was allowed to buy or sell things unless he bore the mark of the beast—that is, his name or his number. This calls for wisdom: Let the […]
INBOX Q&A: The Sixth Seal Earthquake and the Seventh Bowl Earthquake
Barry asked: How can the mountains and islands be moved from their places in the seals AND the bowls. Are they moved from their places twice? Or are the seals and the bowls different narratives of the same event? Good question. First, Rev 6:14 reads, “The sky was split apart like a scroll being rolled […]
