I want to illustrate the inconsistent hermeneutic of many pretribulationists. Pretribulationists often pride themselves on having a consistent, sound, and valid hermeneutic; that is, interpreting Scripture in its “natural, normal, customary sense” (which begs the question, because everyone wants to claim this high-road hermeneutic, as if it is that simple). Pretribulationists are mostly young earth […]

Seals, Trumpets, Bowls – At the Same Time or One After the Other? i.e. Concurrent-Recapitulation or Consecutive-Progressive?
I am writing a book responding to posttribulationism. It will be the first prewrath book that substantively engages the posttribulational view. Even though my book Antichrist Before the Day of the Lord responds to relevant points on posttribulationism, this forthcoming book will be completely devoted to the posttrib interpretation. My hope is that it will […]
Where Do Believers Go after the Rapture?
[See also the program on this topic] The following is an excerpt (pp. 83–85) from my book Antichrist Before the Day of the Lord: What Every Christian Needs to Know about the Return of Christ The last part of verse 17 climaxes with reassurance: “And so we will always be with the Lord.” Where will we […]
Slogans Should Not Replace Scripture — A Brief Response to Ed Hindson on 2 Thessalonians 2
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 […]
The First Coming of Christ Was “Secret” — But the Second Coming Will be Spectacular
In the first coming of Christ, the celestial sign announcing the coming of the Lord was peaceful (Matt. 2:2, 7, 9–10). In the second coming of Christ, the celestial sign announcing the coming of the Lord will bring upheaval (Joel 2:30–31; Matt. 24:29). Another contrast is the Shekinah sign of Christ: At the first coming […]
NOW POSTED: All Three Interviews on Three Rapture Views
The final interview is posted, which is the pretribulational position. I have linked all three interviews below. Next week, there will be a final post where each of the participants were able to ask each other a question. In the near future, I will be responding to Svigel’s answers. His argument depends much on his […]

Then he will finish up the series with posting questions that we were able […]
