I replied to pretribulational teacher Jim McClarty’s critique of the prewrath position. This is the first episode of a series responding to an article he wrote against the prewrath position.

I first described how good men of God can have blind spots and in this case I believe his blind spot is pretribulationism, as demonstrated in his shallow argumentation against prewrath.

I corrected him on numerous points of misrepresenting the prewrath position in his article:

 

* The origin of the prewrath position

* Robert Van Kampen and Marvin Rosenthal

* Archangel Michael the Restrainer

* The great tribulation

* The timing of the rapture

* The first half of the 7 year period

* The relationship between the celestial disturbances and the day of the Lord

* The sixth seal and the rapture

* The nature of the second coming of Christ
