Two responses to the prewrath position

Posted on March 28, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

The two responses to the prewrath position are worth studying in themselves.  I point out that prewrath is making somewhat of a debut in this edition of Zondervan’s book.  The last edition included the pretrib view, the midtrib view, and … Continue reading →

A Case for the Prewrath Rapture by Alan Hultberg

Posted on March 27, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

The second position presented in Zondervan’s latest version of Three Views on the Rapture is the Prewrath Rapture.  In every circumstance in this book, the positions are listed in this order, pretribulational, prewrath, then posttribulational.  The reason is most likely that … Continue reading →

Posted on March 20, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

After each author presents his case for the rapture, the other two have the opportunity to critique the position that has been presented.  They are termed responses, but critique is probably the better word while rebuttal would be going too … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

The first view presented in Three Views on the Rapture is the Pretrib view.  Many know Craig Blaising from his work within Progressive Dispensationalism.  I must say that Blaising presents a better case for the pretrib view than I have … Continue reading →

With all the buzz about Rob Bell’s new book, I thought I would come at this from another vantage point.  I will not be buying the book and I don’t recommend it either.  What Rob Bell has inadvertantly done is … Continue reading →

Posted on March 15, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

I have just finished Zondervan’s latest edition of Three Views on The Rapture, subtitled Pretribulation, Prewrath, or Posttribulation.  I set aside my other reading (The Coming Millennial Kingdom) and blogged a little less in order to get through this book.  … Continue reading →

Everlasting Dominion

Posted on March 13, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

Resource on the 144,000

Posted on March 11, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

I came across an article on the 144,000 from Revelation 7:1-8 & 14:1-5.  I have taken a little flack for some of my views even from people who agree with me about many other things.  The thing that people usually … Continue reading →

Posted on March 10, 2011 by The Orange Mailman

My heart goes out to my fellow mail carrier who died this past Tuesday.  Nancy Schafer was doing what she always did when walking up onto a porch.  The porch collapsed as she fell into the cellar underneath.  Concrete slabs … Continue reading →

In the ages to come He might show…

Posted on March 9, 2011 by The Orange Mailman
