Traditional pretribulationists have consistently believed that the rapture and the inception of the day of the Lord’s wrath will occur back-to-back on the same day. Prewrath came along and pointed out the “Before the day of the Lord” passages (e.g. Joel 2:29–31; Mal 4:5; 2 Thess 2:3) and demonstrated that since the Bible teaches that […]

A Reply to Arnold Fruchtenbaum on the Day of the Lord
Arnold Fruchtenbaum claims, “The sixth seal does portray a cosmic disturbance, but nowhere does it say that it is that cosmic disturbance which kicks off the day of the Lord” (emphasis mine)* On the contrary, a little good ol’ fashion comparing Scripture with Scripture will easily refute such a claim: “Now when the Lamb opened […]

In the last couple of decades prewrath has had such a huge impact on pretribulationism that many pretrib teachers have changed its fundamental timeline.
