One of the most common reasons Christians are embracing the prewrath position is because of the distinction that is made between the Antichrist’s great tribulation and the day of the Lord’s wrath. Christians will be removed (raptured) from the latter but not the former. This point has caused the light bulb to go off in […]

The OTHER Unforgivable Sin Mentioned in the Bible . . .
Here is the unforgivable sin that is mentioned in the Bible: “I tell you the truth, people will be forgiven for all sins, even all the blasphemies they utter. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin” (because they said, ‘He has an unclean spirit’).” […]
A Quick Debunking of Failed Date-Setter Mark Biltz’s New Book: Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times
Failed date-setter Mark Biltz—who is addicted to bible prophecy even though he refuses that he was wrong on his date-setting—has come out with another bible prophecy book that will lead God’s people astray. His new book is called, Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times: What the Bible Says and What the Future Holds. (Incidentally, […]

This is not surprising since Peter was one of the main disciples that Jesus taught the Olivet Discourse to directly. In this episode, I covered what Peter taught on how we should order our […]

A Reply to John F. Hart on Why the Parousia in Matt 24:36–44 Refers Back to the Parousia in Matt 24:30–31
Six years ago, I did a six-part series responding to John F. Hart’s (and other pretrib teachers’) unfounded and strained interpretation that the parousia in Matt 24:36–44 is a completely different parousia than the one depicted in Matt 24:27, 30–31. I am re-posting my series below. Incidentally, during these six years I have never received […]
Craig Blaising on Premillennialism in a nutshell
Christ comes in 19:11 and judges the nations who fornicated with Babylon, who consolidated their loyalty with the beast, and who gathered to war against Christ. He casts the beast and false prophet into the lake of fire. He imprisons the devil. He raises the martyrs murdered by Babylon and the beast. He and his […]
Will all the inhabitants of the nations be destroyed at the battle in Rev 19?
Craig A. Blaising writes: [Fowler White] argues that a sequential interpretation of 19:11—20:3 is not logically coherent, that its “credibility. . . suffers considerably” because at the Parousia, Christ will destroy all the in inhabitants of all the nations except the redeemed (“Reexamining the Evidence for Recapitulation in Rev. 20:1–10,” 325). Thus, he concludes, there […]
Correcting a Common Platitude. . .
We are often told “we should live as if Jesus could return today.” “Perhaps today!” This is a slogan that is commonly heard in various Christian circles. A version of this is found in the popular hymn: Jesus may come today Glad day, glad day! And I would see my friend; Dangers and troubles would […]

Many interpreters miss this main point. Further, there is the question of what is Jesus trying to teach with his delay of his parousia? Jesus teaches that we will know the season of his […]

The problem then is how can amillennialism claim on one hand that the binding of Satan is the victory of […]
