http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/Clarifying_a_Question_on_Revelation_617_-_Ep._123.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Many interpreters assume that the English rendering “has come” in Rev 6:17 refers to either past or present tense referring to God’s wrath. “because the great day of their wrath has come [ēlthen], and who is able to withstand it?” (Rev 6:17) I have explained before […]
One of the sore points in Jewish evangelism is the position that Jews are damned unless they believe in Jesus (i.e. the messianship, deity, and Incarnation of Jesus). Of course, that’s not unique to Judaism. That’s standard exclusivism, which applies to non-Christians generally. And there wouldn’t be much point evangelizing Jews if it didn’t matter […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/What_Is_the_Millennial_Debate_Really_About__Ep._122.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedWhat is the millennial debate is not about, and what it is about? Many interpreters frame the wrong question when they engage the millennial debate. I talked about how we got chapter breaks and how to avoid them, especially the Revelation 20 chapter break. This helped to […]
Just a quick note for those who were wondering if Andy Woods was interested in meaningful interaction with my podcast episode yesterday where I argued that Woods was making up a meaning for the Greek word apostasia, believing that it could mean a rapture in 2 Thess 2:3. Woods claimed that the Greek word could […]

He was interviewed by Gary Stearman on Prophecy Watchers. “Let no one deceive you in any way. For […]
Therefore, get your minds ready for action by being fully sober, and set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. (1 Pet 1:13) Pretrib interpreters read this verse and assume that since Peter says “set your hope” on the grace that they will received at […]
The sixth bowl states, Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water to prepare the way for the kings from the east. Then I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of […]
I want to make a brief note responding to the annihilationist claim that unbelievers will not suffer conscious torment after judgment day (i.e. they will cease to exist all-together). They will be “annihilated,” it is claimed. The problem with this view is that Rev 19:20 contradicts this notion: “And the beast was captured, and with […]
“They said to the mountains and to the rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who is seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, because the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?’” (Rev 6:16–17) A host of […]
Last week I responded to an objection that the thousand years reference in the book of Revelation is not literal. I want to address a similar objection. But this time it is not an objection by amillennialists. Premillennialists and amillennialists agree with each other that the thousand years reference denotes a temporal period, that is, a […]
Leaving aside the question of the timing of the millennium for this article, though it is related to this issue here, amillennialists, such as Sam Storms, adduce a common objection against premillennialism. He and other amillennialists cite 1 Cor 15:25–26 as evidence for amillennialism: “For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under […]
