The Structure of the Book of Revelation – Part I
Is the Rapture Depicted in Revelation 14:14-16? The Structure of the Book of Revelation – Part I Charles Cooper As an advocate for the prewrath rapture view I find it unfortunate, yet necessary, that a good portion of my time is spent disproving claims. For example, the confusion about the structure of the book of [...]
Structure of the Book of Revelation – Part II
Is the Rapture Depicted in Revelation 14:14-16? The Structure of the Book of Revelation – Part II Charles Cooper As detailed in part I, the structure of the Book of Revelation remains an unsettled matter in the minds of most scholars. Men and women have spent years studying this book only to conclude that there [...]

A Brief Note on the Fourth Seal of Revelation
“(7) Then when the Lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come!” (8) So I looked and here came a pale green horse! The name of the one who rode it was Death, and Hades followed right behind. They were given authority over a fourth of the [...]
Is the Devil Fettered or on the Loose?
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). One of the points in this verse that should be highlighted is that before we can take seriously the biblical principles to resist the devil, we need to be aware that he is a force to be reckoned with—otherwise, why would James give us [...]
Part 14 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
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 8 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
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 5 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
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.” I would like to ask DeWaay if the thinks the seals, trumpets, and bowls can unfold in any order. And if so, how do we know that? For example, [...]
Part 2 – A Response to “The Uncertainty of the Timing of the Rapture”
I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay. The next subject he discusses is the book of Revelation. His basic conclusion is that he does not have the Book of Revelation figured out. I am not sure exactly what he means by this, but the impression that I am given is that if he [...]
