I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people cite “in the twinkling of an eye” as support for an imminent return of Jesus. SEE MORE . . .
The Greek in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Disproves the Pretribulation Rapture (Video)
Second Thessalonians chapter two has been the nemesis for pretribulationism. Or what I refer to as the 800-pound gorilla in the Bible of the pretribulationist. This biblical passage has convinced more ex-pretribulationists that their pretrib theology is wrong than any other Bible passage. The reason for this is straightforward: The fundamental premise of pretribulationism is […]
‘In the twinkling of an eye’
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people cite “in the twinkling of an eye” as support for an imminent return of Jesus. I have chalked it up to that adage that if you hear something said over and over again, you begin to believe it, and over time it is reflexive […]
What Are the ‘Bookends’ to the Church Age?
A prophecy to consider is found in the book of Joel. After all of this I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your elderly will have revelatory dreams; your young men will see prophetic visions. Even on male and female servants I will pour […]

Many pretribulationists believe that the Greek word apostasia in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 means “a physical departure” (i.e. the rapture). This claim has been thoroughly debunked many times (see the two articles at the end of this post). In Koine Greek, the word never means “a physical departure,” but rather “a non-physical departure,” either a political […]
A Response to Pastor J. D. Farag’s Misinformation on 2 Thess 2:3 Claiming that ‘Apostasia’ Refers to the Rapture (Video)
(*Send the following article to those who follow J. D. Farag) In the video below at 24:25, pastor J. D. Farag claims that since the Geneva Bible renders the Greek word apostasia as “departure” then that is proof that it is referring to “the rapture.” This is not only wrong on his part but it […]
What Did the Early Church Fathers Believe about the Rapture? (Audio)
https://bibleprophecytalk.com/bpt-what-did-the-early-church-believe-about-the-rapture/ BPT- What Did the Early Church Believe About the Rapture “In one sense there is no real debate about what the early church fathers believed about the timing of the rapture. However those holding to a pretrib rapture position have offered up various theories concerning the Didache, Pseudo Ephraim and a host of other […]
