Pretrib vs. Prewrath eschatology can be viewed from the perspective of Spectator vs. Participator eschatology. Pretrib eschatology represents adherents that possess a spectator posture. Pretrib books, films, and conferences tantalize their audiences with Bible prophecy from their safe spaces.

ANOTHER GLARING Inconsistent Pretrib Interpretation on Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy
Pretribulation interpreters reason that the church will not be part of the 70th week of Daniel (i.e. the last seven years) because it was not part of the 69 weeks. I have responded to this fallacious claim several times. But let me give you three reasons below, the third is a new counterexample I am […]

Ladd points out a biblical absurdity within the traditional pretribulation interpretation that is related to the pretrib view that the Holy Spirit is the Restrainer (there have been exceptions to this of variant views […]

[W]hen we recall the thousands of Christians who fell in torture and death and did it gladly in the name of Christ at the hands of the manifestation of the spirit of antichrist in […]

Does the Appearing (Epiphaneia) of Christ Occur Seven Years After the Pretrib Rapture?
Yesterday, I critiqued the pretribulation belief that claims the revelation (apokalypsis) of Christ will occur, not at the rapture, but when Jesus comes “with his saints” for the battle of Armageddon. Similarly, pretribulationists make the same claim about the appearing of Christ, that it will not take place at the rapture but at the end […]
Does the Revelation (Apokalypsis) of Christ Occur at Armageddon Seven Years After the Pretrib Rapture?
Pretribulationism claims when Jesus returns to resurrect and rapture the people of God, this coming “for the church” will not be known to the world. The revelation (apokalypsis) of Christ, on the other hand, it is argued, will be known to all the world at the end of the seventieth week of Daniel (i.e. seven […]
