This post will seem like I've got Nelson Walters' Pre-Wrath prophecy ministry in my sights. Elsewhere, I've commented on his notion that Gentile believers become Israel. He uses this as an argument for Matt 24:31 being the rapture of the church. However, I now want to comment on his Rapture Civil War video as this is … [Read more...]
A Tribulation Training Manual
The following is my brief adaptation of a tribulation training manual. I'm not talking about physical preparedness. My focus is on the spiritual. The basics presented here aren't mine, either - fortunately! They're a collection from Scripture and some wise voices from the past and present. First: The mockers, … [Read more...]
Farewell to Our Beloved Omega Letter
Note that this article was written primarily to the Omega Letter Website audience. As some readers may be aware, the Omega Letter website founded by Jack Kinsella is closing down. Here's my fond farewell to our beloved Omega Letter. I providentially discovered Jack Kinsella and the OL some time after the … [Read more...]
Vern Poythress Theophany and the Seven Seals
Vern Poythress is an amillennialist. From my premil perspective I disagree with much of his eschatology. For example, in one article he writes: The new appreciation of inaugurated eschatology has already generated an atmosphere where we find some fresh exegetical argumentation in favor of amillennialism. Geerhardus … [Read more...]
Millennial Definitions
Let's briefly look at some millennial definitions. First of all, what does "millennium" mean? In eschatology (the study of Last Things) millennium is a word used for a period of time. It is taken from the Latin meaning "thousand." In Revelation 20:1-7 the Greek word "chilioi" (thousand) is used six times and … [Read more...]
Experiencing Prophecy Burn-Out
Are you experiencing prophecy burn-out? I expect many of us usually can't get enough of prophecy updates and daily Middle East news. Many also thrive on the latest potential prophetic theory of Christ's return to rapture us out of here, based on some new Blood Moon or other discovery. I've watched my share of … [Read more...]
A Growing Lawlessness
One only has to read one's preferred daily media feeds to see that there's a growing lawlessness in this world. That said, I should also interject myself here and admit that some people don't believe the world is getting any worse from a moral or criminal standpoint. A friend once mentioned an article which cited … [Read more...]
There’s Something About Jerusalem
Yes, there's something about Jerusalem. Why all this sudden interest in an ancient city, situated in a tiny nation? Any mention of Jerusalem is bound to elicit a range of passionate responses. I'm not necessarily speaking of the Palestinians and Jews either. Why is this so? BTW, when I say "Jews" I mean Israel. The … [Read more...]
Training for The Tribulation
Hello! How is your training for The Tribulation going? I know, I know! - This is an old theme which I've addressed before. Why continue to bring it up? Well I keep seeing the same stuff over and over, and over again. Non-pretribulationists seem obsessed with the supposed unpreparedness of … [Read more...]
Criticism of Dispensationalism Before Darby
There has been some criticism of Dispensationalism Before Darby. William Watson's book "Dispensationalism Before Darby" certainly ruffled a lot of feathers. The Pseudo-Ephraim document caused a similar stir years ago. Pretrib skeptics at the time tried to debunk either the authenticity of PE and/or its "interpretation, … [Read more...]
