I could cite many other pretribulational teachers committing this all-so-common inconsistency in their rapture theology. But I will use Jack Hibb’s statement as representative. On a recent program of Jan Markell’s Understanding the Times with Jan Markell, her guest Jack Hibbs repeatedly stressed the “imminency” of the rapture that he claims will be “unannounced” that […]

Prewrath eschatology teaches that the rapture and the onset of the day of the Lord’s wrath will happen back-to-back on […]

He believes the church will be raptured before the Antichrist emerges. He painfully confuses the event of the Antichrist’s great tribulation with the day of the Lord’s judgment. I pointed […]

Indeed, many posttribs believe the corresponding elements are the same events; i.e. the seventh […]
Doug Stauffer, All Bluster and No Bite
Pretrib, hyper-dispensationalist Doug Stauffer is out there going on radio shows arguing for his pretrib view with really, really bad arguments. Here is the most recent of his. He is also attacking the prewrath position. He is conveying the following bluster, which can be summarized as follows: Stauffer: I challenge prewrathers to defend your view […]
Prewrath Has Been Refuted!
Doug Stauffer has refuted the prewrath position on Prophecy in the News. Starting at 24:30 into this interview Stauffer launched this most irrefutable, decisive blow against the prewrath position: There you have it folks, prewrath is wrong because, in Stauffer’s own words: It’s just not a good eschatological teaching. Time to close shop. Throw away […]
“Prewrath Bozos” says Hyper-Dispensationalist Pastor Doug Stauffer of Antioch Baptist Church
If you want to hear what classic KJVOnly Independent Fundamental Baptist pretribulation rapture preaching sounds like, you have to listen to Doug Stauffer’s recent sermon! “Pre-Wrath Rapture Hoax – Believing a Lie.” http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=123151445554 You will notice Stauffer is utterly clueless with what prewrath teaches, almost to a bizarre level. Just to give you one example […]

In Part 2, I first addressed his misunderstanding of the structure of Matthew 24 explaining that vv. 9–14 is developed in vv. 15–31. In other words, […]
A Public Debate Challenge for Pretribulationist Dr. Doug Stauffer
Pretrib teacher Dr. Doug Stauffer was recently interviewed on View from the Bunker with host Derek Gilbert. His argumentation was deeply flawed and simply bad. Not to mention that—not surprisingly—he grossly misrepresents the prewrath position. Either Mr. Stauffer has not read primary prewrath literature, is incompetent, or being dishonest. He claims the prewrath position is […]

I responded to the first half of David Reagan’s shallow pretrib “critique” of the prewrath position. I first talked about “the lie.” The Lie is Reagan’s continued falsehood that prewrath teaches the rapture will happen “3/4th” into the “tribulation period.” I […]
Why Dr. David Reagan Refuses to Defend His Pretribulationism Publicly
I have had a standing debate invitation for David Reagan of Lamb & Lion Ministries for several years now. Recently, Reagan wrote a few blog articles critiquing prewrath. They were really bad and shallow. So I issued another challenge to him in the combox of one of his articles. Today, he wrote me via email […]
