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. […]

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/024-Parallels_between_Jesus_and_Paul.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI talked about the incredibly consistent teaching between Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and Paul’s Thessalonian letters on the doctrine of the second coming. I listed thirty parallels between Jesus and Paul. The pretribulational rapture position wrongly dichotomizes this teaching between Matthew 24 and 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Their […]

Does Paul have in mind a literal, physical temple? Or is he referring to a figurative, spiritual sense? I argued the former, the literal, physical sense.

http://traffic.libsyn.com/thebiblicalprophecyprogram/022-5_Reasons_why_the_Antichrist_is_Literal.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedI adduced five reasons why I believe the Bible teaches a literal, personal Antichrist figure, not a figurative, impersonal Antichrist. The Bible uses many descriptions and titles for this eschatological Antichrist figure. The term “Antichrist” is the most popular term. Historicists (most) and Idealists deny a literal […]

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 […]

They are core minimum beliefs. If someone denies any of these definitional points they cannot be said to be prewrath in a meaningful sense of […]
[This is not my billboard ad; nor do I know if this person is promoting the upcoming Las Vegas Bible prophecy conference. I am assuming not because there is no promotion for the conference on the billboard.] https://twitter.com/endtimesrefocus/status/483721454240792577/photo/1

Ed Hindson asserts, I am not looking for the Antichrist, I’m looking for Jesus Christ. I am not even looking for the undertaker, I am looking for the uppertaker (at 14 min. here). Hindson uttered this cutesy slogan as he was talking about 2 Thessalonians 2! And worse, he did not even try to give […]
