Alan Kurschner, Ph.D. is the founder of Eschatos Ministries, teaching Bible prophecy from a futurist, premillennial, prewrath perspective.
There are at least three common questions that arise when people study the parable of the Wheat and the Weeds in Matthew 13. The first question is whether we are able to identify the wheat and weeds. I argue in a forthcoming book that responds to … [Continue reading] about Does Jesus Intend a Chronology in His Parable of the Wheat and Weeds?
This is the last installment of our six-part series. The last reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in a helpful parallel passage in the gospel of Luke. The passage in Luke 17:22–37 parallels … [Continue reading] about Part 6 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
The fourth reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in the use of the term parousia. The term is used only four times in the gospels and are all found in Matthew 24:3, 27, 37, 39. Hart argues the … [Continue reading] about Part 5 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
Perry Stone in this video asserts, "After 50,000 hours of Bible study I have done everything I can to try to prove there will be a post-trib coming and I can't prove it." Sure, and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Why the sensational, … [Continue reading] about Perry Stone: “50,000 Hours of Bible Study” Failing to Prove the Post-trib View

The third reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is recognizing Jesus’ audience. Hart argues verses 4–35 are intended for a Jewish audience and verses 36–44 are for the church. However, both passages have … [Continue reading] about Part 4 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
In this video, Perry Stone defending pretribulationism gives a convoluted argument trying to show that Matthew 24:31 is not speaking of the rapture but instead depicts the gathering of the Jews. His argument is namely based on a forced interpretation … [Continue reading] about A Debate Challenge for Perry Stone
The second reason why verses 36–44 refer to the immediate context of the coming in verses 30–31 is found in the natural antecedent. Verse 36 reads, “But as for that day and hour no one knows it—not even the angels in heaven—except the Father alone” … [Continue reading] about Part 3 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31

Kurschner shows that this … [Continue reading] about Registration Now Open for the “Future Congress 2” Conference
As mentioned in the first part, Hart views these two passages as incompatible because he construes verses 4–35 teaching signs before Christ’s coming, while verses 36–44 teaching no signs before his coming. Therefore, he claims verses 36–44 must not … [Continue reading] about Part 2 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
