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 […]

Who is the “Restrainer”? This question stems from Paul’s text in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7. “And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time. […]

What Is the Correct Meaning of “You Are Lukewarm, and Neither Hot Nor Cold” to the Laodicean Church?
I talked about the correct interpretation of Revelation 3:14–16.

They are BOTH good elements. They are in a class together being contrasted with lukewarmness. “‘I know your works: […]

The title of my paper is THE TERMINUS A QUO OF THE BINDING OF SATAN: A FUNCTIONAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF REVELATION 19:11–20:3. I argued that the many cohesion ties in Revelation […]
Satan Is Not Bound by a Bungee Cord, as Amillennialists Would Have You Believe
In arguing that Satan’s present-day activities are not in conflict with his present-day imprisonment in Revelation 20, Hendriksen writes, “A dog…bound with a long and heavy chain can do great damage within the circles of his imprisonment” (Hendriksen 1967: 190). What Hendriksen seems to ignore, however, is that Satan’s “circles of imprisonment” is identified in […]
