Are the Seven Seals of Revelation’s Scroll the Wrath of God Because Jesus Opens Them Up?
Pretribulationists claim that the seals are part of the day of the Lord’s wrath because it is Jesus who opens them up. In fact, just recently, a prewrather called into Brannon Howse’s Worldview Weekend Radio program with Jimmy DeYoung as his guest.

It contains scattered vague comments on overarching theological issues and unsupported assertions. I hope Part II will have something with more teeth. Nevertheless, l want to comment on a few of Garcia’s statements. “Just because one believes the […]
Five Views that Dismiss Jesus and Paul’s Warning to the Church

And in the context of the Antichrist, Paul warns the church, “Let no one deceive you in any way” (2 Thess 2:3). The prewrath position (and most posttribs) is the […]
