This is session 4 of 6, “Peter: Bookends to the Church Age” delivered by Dr. Alan Kurschner from last year’s Minnesota Bible Prophecy Conference, May 7–8, 2021 in Inver Grove Heights Minnesota. The theme of the conference was The Celestial Disturbances. Dr. Alan Kurschner and Pastor Ryan Habbena were the speakers for the conference.

In Acts 2, the apostle Peter explains that a new period in redemption (i.e. the beginning of the church age) occurs at Pentecost with the Spirit’s supernatural outpouring. But a lot of interpreters miss that Peter’s citation of Joel 2, and its celestial disturbances event, gives us a clue to the completion of the church age when the day of the Lord begins.

“But Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, know this and listen carefully to what I say. In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel: ‘And in the last days it will be,’ God says, ‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes. And then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Acts 2:14–21)

“And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth nations will be in distress, anxious over the roaring of the sea and the surging waves. People will be fainting from fear and from the expectation of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:25–28)

Dr. Alan Kurschner gives a lecture on “Antichrist Takes His Seat in the Temple of God – 2 Thessalonians 2”

This is part 4 of 6 sessions from the Minnesota Bible prophecy conference on the Abomination of Desolation, Oct 1–2, 2021, at Conquering King Fellowship in Inver Grove Heights The speakers were Alan Kurschner and Ryan Habbena.

2 Thess 2:3: “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it [the day of the Lord] will not come unless the apostasy [apostasia] comes first [prōton], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction” (NASB).

Dr. Kurschner explains the key term protos that means first. Paul is clearly teaching that the revelation of the Antichrist and the apostasy will occur first, that is, before the day of the Lord.

The Greek is constructed with the conditional “unless” (ean mē) coupled with the adverb “first” (prōton), which results in placing the conditional events sequentially before the main event. There are only two other places in the New Testament that this construction occurs (listen to the podcast!).

One particular pretrib objection argues that the Greek word behind “rebellion” or “apostasy” (apostasia, ἀποστασία) can carry the meaning of a “physical and spatial departure,” thereby suggesting that Paul has the rapture in mind when he uses this word in this verse.

The embarrassing problem (that they ignore) is the noun apostasia never means a “physical departure” in Koine Greek.
