There are many examples like this that disprove the pretrib “any moment” rapture view, but here is one from the book of Acts: “The Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, ‘Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent, because I am with you, and no one will assault […]
Rapture
Closing the Gap on the Pretrib Rapture ‘Gap’ Theory
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 […]
Did Charles Spurgeon Believe in Imminence?
The short answer is ‘no.’ Recently, Alf Cengia, a pretrib blogger wrote concerning Charles Spurgeon, who is claimed to have purportedly believed in imminence, “what’s good for Charles Spurgeon should be good for me and just about everyone else.” The fallacy of “the appeal to authority” is not a biblical principle of interpretation. As you […]
A Reply to Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s Glaring Omission of a Key Part of the Noahic Flood Narrative
Arnold Fruchtenbaum states: Genesis 7:10 states that the waters of the flood began seven days after Noah entered the ark. . . . The flood did not come the same day that Noah entered the ark . . . Just as there was a period of time between Noah entering the ark and the start […]

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 […]

The SAME DAY Noah Entered the Ark, the Flood Began – NOT Seven Days Later!
On occasion I hear some pretrib teachers attempt to argue for a gap of time between the rapture and the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel, which they wrongly equate with the Day of the Lord’s wrath. They do this to try to get around the “Before the Day of the Lord” passages […]
Pretrib J. D. Farag’s Feeble Faith CONTRASTED with the Bold Faith of Iranian Women
All prewrath is teaching is that there will be an unprecedented persecution of Christians just before Jesus returns. And yet, this message is so offensive to many pretribs that they feel compelled to write books against prewrath, calling it heresy, “Satanic,” and even likening our persecution theology to wife beating! Of course there are more […]
