VIDEO: The Day of Christ IS the Day of the Lord
Pretribulation interpreters maintain there is a difference in meaning between the terms the day of the Lord and the day of Christ. The term the day of Christ (Phil 1:6, 10; 2:16) has been thought to refer to the rapture and not God’s wrath, while the day of the Lord is believed to refer […]

A Reply to Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s View on the Day of the Lord
Traditional pretribulationism, along with prewrath, have consistently believed that the rapture and the beginning of the day of the Lord’s wrath will occur back-to-back. The day the rapture happens is the same day that the day of the Lord begins. (To be sure, pretribulationalism locates the rapture before the seven year period begins, while prewrath […]

VIDEO: A Reply to Pastor J. D. Farag’s Errors on 2 Thess 2:3 Concerning the Rapture
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 is a blunder. Some pretribulationists, such as Thomas Ice and Andy […]

Mysteries, the Church Age, and the Tribulation Period
I want to respond to an issue that often comes up. Pretribulationists argue that since certain “mysteries” were absent from the Old Testament but revealed in the church age, therefore, this is evidence for the church/Israel temporal separation. But this hermeneutic principle does not work because there are several biblical truths that clearly reveal mysteries […]
