Let Us Reason

2 Thessalonians 2:2-3 appears on the surface in some English translations (especially the KJV) to imply that the apostasy and the revelation of the Antichrist PRECEDE the Rapture of the Church. If this is true, it contradicts the persistent message of the New Testament regarding Christ's signless and imminent coming since these two events would act as prerequisite signs. There are also those who interpret the "apostasy" (or "departure") as a reference to the Rapture (a "spiritual departure"). What is the truth about this? What is Paul actually conveying here?

In recent decades, a particular interpretation of Jesus's parabolic mention of the "fig tree" in His Olivet Discourse has become popular. This view associates the return of national Israel as a state in 1948 with the fig tree spoken of by Jesus. In combination with His other statements in those verses, the common claim is that Jesus was saying that the Rapture or Second Coming must take place within one generation of the re-establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948. This has given rise to much speculation concerning the biblical length of a generation. Although around 75 years has passed since 1948, this view is still popular, and has spawned a seemingly endless stream of Rapture date-setting schemes and speculations (all of which, of course, have failed). Is this really what Jesus was teaching when He used the example of the fig tree in this discourse? What signs did He point to? What generation was He speaking of? What was His context? Is this "fig tree fallacy" interpretation the result of the careful application of a literal/plain hermeneutic? We examine all of these questions in this video! https://www.letusreason.com

The Bible speaks about "birth pangs" that will be felt near the times of the Messiah's comings. Are we feeling and witnessing those birth pangs signs today, leading us to believe that we are in the end-times and that Jesus's coming is near - as many modern Bible prophecy teachers claim? What does the Bible actually say about this? https://www.letusreason.com

What is the Parousia of Christ, and how does it relate to the end-times? What are some common assumptions and misconceptions regarding Bible prophecy? What is the pattern Jesus used to describe His future coming, and how does it relate to the paradigm presented in The Missing Key in Dispensational Eschatology?

On April 8th 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur and will follow a path across the United States. Many have claimed that the path will go through cities named after prominent biblical names and concepts like Nineveh, Salem, and Rapture. Many have gone on to notice that when combined with the path of the 2017 eclipse, these two eclipse pathways form an "X" across America. There have then been different interpretations of this "X". Some take it to be a reference to the Rapture, which many are predicting will happen on this day. Others believe it reveals coming judgment on America. Many have connected the eclipse with Jesus's statement about the "sign of Jonah" in Matthew 12. What is the truth about this? What is the sign of Jonah in the biblical context? Can it refer to an event today? https://www.letusreason.com

There exists much confusion today concerning the biblical phrase "the Day of the Lord." What does this term mean? Is it a synonym of the Tribulation? Does the Day of the Lord start when the Tribulation starts? Does it start before the Tribulation? Or, is it just the climactic Second Coming at the end of the Tribulation? Does it actually also include the Millennium? How does the Bible apply this multi-nuanced term? We will answer all of these questions and much more in this video.
