Covenant Theology flattens out the beautiful story of the Gospel and ends up robbing Christ of his glory. I am namely speaking of their supersessionist theology that says the church (or Christ) has superseded any promises that God made with national Israel before Christ. The church has become the “new Israel.” God is done with […]

“Jews could never follow a non-Jewish Antichrist”
I haven’t really written much on the ethnicity or the religion of the future Antichrist. When I have written on the subject of the Antichrist my energies have been focused on his revelation as it relates to the rapture and the day of the Lord’s wrath. But I want to make a few comments on […]
An Easy Refutation to John MacArthur’s Pretrib Rapture Interpretation on the ‘Church’ in the Book of Revelation
Watch the first few minutes of John MacArthur’s sermon on the rapture, then read my article below: READ THIS: The Word “Church” in the Book of Revelation There are a multiple of other wrong-headed statements that MacArthur makes, but I wanted to highlight this common pretrib mantra about the church in the book of […]
Circular Reasoning Presupposes the Hermeneutics of the Pretribulational Theological System
I am finishing up on my major book focused on refuting pretrib imminence. I do not leave any stone left unturned. My hope is it will jolt—and challenge—untold number of Christians who have been taught all their life that Jesus can return “at any moment.” This teaching is so pervasive that even most non-pretrib churches […]

VIDEO | Will People Get Saved after the Rapture during the Day of the Lord’s Wrath?
Will people such as Gentiles get saved after the rapture during the day of the Lord’s wrath? And if so will those who are saved experience the day of the Lord’s wrath? I first responded to the pretribulational theological interpretation of this question before I answered with my prewrath response. I also addressed how the […]

For example, Thomas Ice thinks the term “elect” in Matthew’s Olivet Discourse refers to Jews who will be gathered. He links v. 31 to Deuteronomy 30:4. […]
The Blessed Hope Is Not Escaping the Antichrist’s Persecution
Titus 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus. Pretribulationism teaches that the blessed hope is about escaping persecution, particularly the end-time persecution. The Bible does not teach this. The blessed hope is the glorious appearing of our Lord, not an escapist, imminent […]

Radio Debate on Moody Radio! Prewrath vs. Pretribulationism
You can listen now to the radio debate I had today with Dr. Tommy Ice on Moody Radio’s UP FOR DEBATE with Julie Roys. It went great. I came into the debate with the strategy of focusing on and demonstrating that Jesus’ Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24-25 is for the church, and not relegated to […]
