Part 14 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 28th, 2009 
Alan Kurschner This is my last response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. DeWaay asserts that Antichrist’s rule will be 7 years. He does not attempt to provide any Biblical evidence for his assertion. It is not 7 years, instead, his rule is formally for 3 1/2 years: “The beast [Antichrist] was given a mouth speaking proud words and [...]
Part 13 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 27th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. DeWaay unfoundedly asserts that the prewrath position teaches that: “only the sixth seal is wrath, and nothing else is really the wrath of God.” By this he means that prewrath teaches that God has not expressed his wrath in other forms throughout Church history. This, of [...]
Posted in Day of the Lord Part 12 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 20th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. He asserts that Prewrathers use a “Psychological Argument” for their position. He says that we believe that “if we do not think we are going to be martyred, we will not be prepared.” That is true, since how can someone prepare for persecution, if they think [...]
Part 11 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 15th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. DeWaay acknowledges that there are certain passages that teach signs to Christ’s Return. Then he lists some contrary passages that he believes show that it will be unexpected. Rather than interact with the context of these latter verses in any meaningful fashion, he sort of just [...]
Posted in Exhortation Part 10 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 15th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. He says that the prewrath rapture teaches the identification of the timing of the rapture “quite precisely.” Actually, of all four major rapture positions, it is the prewrath rapture position that is the least precise. Pretribulationism (as DeWaay affirms) identifies the rapture as occurring as the [...]
Posted in Pretribulationism Part 9 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 9th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. He devotes a brief time in talking about what the Early Church writers believed on eschatology. He rightly states that the Early Church was premillennial. But what was conspicuously absent from his discussion was any acknowledgment of the fact that Early Church writers believed that the [...]
Part 8 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 5th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. This next part of his presentation is quite interesting. First, he notes this text: And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and [...]
Part 7 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 5th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. He believes that prophecy (related to Christ’s Second Coming) is not given in chronological order in the Bible for this reason: “[W]e can see prophecies in the Old Testament about Christ’s Coming that contains both first and second advent material not necessarily in order.” There you [...]
Posted in Hermeneutics Part 6 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
December 5th, 2009 Alan Kurschner I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. He asserts: “Prophecy is not given in chronological order in the Bible. You need to know that.” We have made a case that the Bible does indeed emphatically contain prophetic chronological material in Matthew 24, Thessalonians, and Revelation. There are other prophetic passages in the Bible [...]
