There is no PRE-trib rapture, sorry but: ——– If one wants to ignore both Jesus’ words on the timing thereof and the historical accounts of Josephus, Tacitus, and others that detail the once prophetic 4th kingdom’s Roman/ Jewish War that involved 1260 days of military suppression and occupation of the Jews while they fought each […]

Dispensational Sensationalism & Delusion
The idea of 7 dispensations is mentally fun and exciting, but not Biblical. There is no such thing as a “human government” age. There is no such thing as a “church age” that precedes another and different kingdom age. There are no hundreds of years worth of church history outlined in Revelation. There’s no need […]
That “Heaven & Earth” Already Passed Away, Thank God
The Temple and the Old Covenant were both spoken of by Jews as “heaven and earth.” The Holy of Holies was heaven where God dwelt, and the spaces beyond it were spoken of as land and sea, where man was allowed to be. Thank goodness no one has to keep up with 613 commandments anymore! […]
Prophetic Language Lessons: Psalm 18 and Isaiah 19
Look at the language of Psalm 18 and ask yourself 1) Has this prophecy happened already, and 2) If yes, did every bit of occur LITERALLY? To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, […]
“Literal” 2,000 Years of Church History in Ch. 1-3?
Food for thought —— Every single church in Revelation is a church, with believers in it. That’s what makes it a church. Buildings do not a church make. The false dispensationalist idea that Laodicia has no believers is just that … utterly false. Jesus himself declares it a lampstand (church), says he holds its star/angel/pastor […]
Stop the 200 Million Army Nonsense
We need to stop saying the armies that crossed the Euphrates had (or will have in some folks’ view) 200 million soldiers. The Greek phrase is μυριάδων δισμυριάδες or myriadōn dismyriades … or myriad double myriad. Basically, the army was “double huge.” It’s not more specific than that. Don’t get hung up on the English’s […]
Olivet Discourse: Power of Parallel Passages & Prophetic Quotes
Just a few thoughts on the Olivet Discourse ….. Luke: “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies … “ Matthew (parallel passage on Olivet Discourse):“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place …” Back to Luke:“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, […]
Was the Gospel Preached to the World Before AD 70?
Had the Gospel really been preached to the world before AD 70? ——— People sometimes mistakenly think the Roman Empire was a nation. No. It was the known world to many, comprised of about 10 different languages and 3 times as many nations: “In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all […]
May the Real Beast of the Sea Please Stand Up?
The beast of the sea in Revelation 13 is interpreted for us in Revelation 17 by the angel himself. It is Daniel’s 4th kingdom of iron, the one that followed Greece, and had potter’s clay mixed with it (Judea). The 7 hills and the temples to false gods on top of the hills are a […]
Why Hellbent on Future Fulfillment of What’s Obviously Past?
To fulfill Biblical prophecy …. futurism needs a future temple with the blood of true prophets on its hands, a revival of the Roman Empire with power over Judea, the destruction of Jerusalem leaving only three parts, and the ushering in of a spiritual kingdom cut from no human hand where Christ reigns. Think about […]
