The place to begin to evaluate the assertion that premillennialism was the only view of the early church would be to survey the writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, the writings of the early church prior to the drafting of the Nicene Creed in A.D. 325. The thing of it is, we don’t have all the […]
Bible Prophecy in the White House
Dispensational premillennialism has had an unnatural hold on millions of Christians. War is inevitable. Peace is impossible, and any signs of peace are fake news. The Middle East is a prophetic powder keg ready to explode but not before Jesus removes His church from the earth in something called the “rapture.”
How Ray Comfort Should Not Answer a Skeptic: Part 1
Ray Comfort has put himself on the front lines defending the Christian faith by confronting the spirit of the age and those who promote it, especially atheists. One of the recurring arguments used by atheists against the reliability of the Bible is the claim that it falsely predicted the return of Jesus within a generation. […]
Anti-Postmillennialist Makes a Weak Case
While I was in Moscow, Idaho, over the weekend taping marathon sessions on God and government and eschatology with the folks at Cross Politic, David Engelsma’s name came up in an after-dinner conversation. I can’t remember what triggered the topic, but just a few days before, I had received an invitation to debate Mr. Engelsma […]
Has the Gospel Been Preached in ‘All the World’?
This is my third and final critique of Ron Rhodes’ book Jesus and the End Times. You can read my first two articles here and here. In brief commentary on Jesus and the Olivet Discourse, he states, “In the Olivet Discourse. Jesus prophesied that ‘the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole […]
What Does the Bible Mean When It Says Jesus Is Coming ‘Soon’ and that the ‘Time is Near’?
In a previous article, I commented on Ron Rhodes new book Jesus and the End Times. You can read it here. As I mentioned, I’ve dealt with most of the topics he covers in my books Last Days Madness, Wars and Rumors of Wars, and Is Jesus Coming Soon? In this article, I would like […]
Repetitive Prophecy Books Keep Getting It Wrong
Ron Rhodes has written many popular prophecy books. While there’s always something new in each book, most of his books repeat the same themes and errors. His latest book is Jesus and the End Times. Like his previous books, this one follows the outdated and discredited dispensational model. The next prophetic event is supposed to […]
“Rapture” thinking and political paralysis
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is coming under fire for a speech he gave in 2015 while serving as a Congressman: Dangerous Christian extremist: Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is caught on video promoting the Rapture. Social media is on fire after a 2015 video has been rediscovered showing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo […]
Answering GotQuestions on Dominion Theology
A few days ago, a reader asked about the best way to respond to a critic of Theonomy / Dominion Theology, etc. He posted a link to a gotquestions.org article, “What is dominion theology / theonomy / Christian reconstructionism?” in which the authors describe us as “a great threat to biblical Christianity.” A “great threat”? […]
The prophecy clock has now run out for Dispensationalism
Remnant Review Today is the 70th anniversary of the political creation of the State of Israel. This fact is crucial for American fundamentalists. This is because most of them believe in something their pastors call “the clock of prophecy.” It started ticking on May 14, 1948, or so they have been told by a generation […]
The Truth About the Rapture
The following is an excerpt from Gary DeMar’s, The Truth About the Rapture: A Biblical Study. ********** Dr. Mark Hitchcock has written a free eBook for Dallas Theological Seminary with the title The Truth and Timing of the Rapture that has been promoted on Facebook. When Hitchcock writes about the “rapture,” he is referring to […]
How One Little Word Changes Everything in the Book of Revelation. Do You Know What It Is?
Prophetic speculation is rampant. Books dealing with the end times continue to flood the market. Is America part of Bible prophecy? What about Russia? Two recent books. Let’s not forget blood moons . . . earthquakes . . . ellipses . . . hurricanes . . . wars. Probably the most talked about and written […]

Premillennialism: the executioner of Christian civilization
Recently we discussed a sermon that gave prominent lip-service to “God’s law” in society while assiduously avoiding any specifics. (There’s a real silver lining to this, btw, which we’ll discuss in a later article.) The sermon we reviewed was part 2 in a 2-part series, and part 1 is actually more remarkable in a number […]
Questions to Ask at the ‘Ice v Kurschner’ Prophecy Debate: The Antichrist
In a previous article, I mentioned that dispensationalist Thomas Ice and semi-dispensationalist Alan Kurschner will be debating the “rapture” question on September 25th in Plano, Texas. The debate thesis is: “The Church Will Face the Antichrist Before the Rapture.” Kurschner is taking the affirmative (prewrath, semi-dispensational position) and Ice is taking the denial (pretribulational, full dispensational position). […]
Questions to Ask at the ‘Ice v Kurschner’ Prophecy Debate: The Gap
Dispensationalist Thomas Ice and semi-dispensationalist Alan Kurschner will be debating the “rapture” question on September 25th in Plano, Texas. The debate thesis is: “The Church Will Face the Antichrist Before the Rapture.” Kurschner is taking the affirmative (prewrath, semi-dispensational position) and Ice is taking the denial (pretribulational, full dispensational position). Put simply, Thomas Ice will […]
Norman Geisler: “This Generation” or “This Race” Will Not Pass Away?
One of the foundation stones of dispensationalism in particular and futurism in general is the claim that this generation
Greg Laurie Still Mixed Up about Bible Prophecy
Greg Laurie is a popular evangelist. Periodically he goes off topic and discusses Bible prophecy. A few years ago, another prominent evangelist went off topic and wrote an article on why we are living in the last days and how Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. I wrote a four-part series of […]
