Preterism: A Review of Dr. Thomas Ice's Article: The Rapture in 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Posted on Monday, June 21 @ 05:42:00 PDT by Jeremy Lile

Critical Articles by Jeremy Lile
In an article entitled "The Rapture in 2 Thessalonians 2:3," Dr. Thomas Ice seeks to prove that the Pre-Tribulation rapture doctrine is supported by the words of Paul. He claims that the Greek word apostasia should be translated departure (which he understands to mean physical departure) rather than apostasy as in religious or political rebellion. This article will examine the methodology Dr. Ice employs to establish the foundation of his case. The Pre-Tribulation rapture doctrine itself will only be adderssed in a secondary sense. Our main focus will be on his methodology.

It is our position that Dr. Ice builds his case on an erroneous understanding at the word level. Subsequent assumptions are made which simply add to the problem. We will examine a few of the key components of his presentation including core meaning, etymology, lexicography, etc. We hope to keep the baggage from each preceding argument to a minimum in an effort to make this paper relatively painless to read.

Yeah,

After skimming the Ice article,"falling away" becomes a "catching up". Wow!

Those poor Dispensationalist do have do have to work very hard to hold their position.

Peace to you all,
Christian

I suppose I should have mentioned that this review was prompted by Jack Van Impe. On the 6/12 broadcast, Dr. Van Impe stated, "I'm not going to use that text (2TH 2:3) anymore for as long as I live as a falling away. I'm going to use it because God has shown it to me through Dr. Timothy (sic) Ice that it's a departure... a rapture" I emailed Dr. Van Impe a copy of this review on 6/18. So far, no response.
