18th Annual Pre-Trib Rapture Study Group

This year Dr. Dean presented a paper dealing with the chronology of the Tribulation judgments in relation to Daniel's seventieth week. The basic issue dispensational scholars do not have consensus is on this chronology. For the most part this involves two groups: those who put the trumpet judgments in the first half and those who put the trumpet judgments in the second half of the Tribulation. This may not seem significant, but it does have an important bearing on how one understands a number of important passages in the Apocalypse and thus has a strong effect on one's teaching of the text.

Current Series Taught by Dr. Dean

There are three series currently being taught at West Houston Bible Church by Dr. Dean:

2004 Revelation: This series has moved to Tuesday evening Bible Class at 8:00 p.m. (see Kings note below). Dr. Dean began this study on Revelation in 2004. It continues into the central prophetic section of the Apocalypse.  Beginning with Revelation 11 the scene shifts to other trends in the first half of the Tribulation leading up to the mid point when the Antichrist desecrates the Temple. Revelation 12-19 provides us with the picture of God's faithfulness to His people Israel as hundreds of thousands of Jews are saved and God brings Israel to national repentance and national redemption. There are numerous lessons in these chapters that relate to the present age and the spiritual life of believers caught in the web of persecution and attack.

2007 Kings: Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. This series began in November 2007 on Tuesday evening and moved to Sunday morning in March, 2009 due to the national crises. Currently we are in the center of the study (1 Kings 17-2 Kings 13). These chapters focus on the ministries of Elijah and Elisha during some of the most unstable and uncertain times in the history of Israel. Within 100 years of the glories of Israel under the reign of Solomon the nation had been ripped in two by civil war and the northern kingdom was dominated by the materialistic and sexually perverse fertility religion of Baal. Into this crisis the immutable word of God was proclaimed by these two magnificent prophets. Though these two men were great among Old Testament believers, they never had the resources every Church Age believer now has through our position in Christ, indwelling and filling of the Holy Spirit, and the completed canon of Scripture. However, through these chapters we can all learn how to face the economic, political, and military crises that have come upon the United States and the world in these dark days. This study will encourage you to stand strong in the Lord and the power of His might in tough times. In this series we are focusing on the faith rest drill, spiritual growth, facing the challenges of pagainism in our own thinking, our cultures, and solving these challenges with the eternal truths of God's Word. 

Psa. 118:8-9  It is better to trust in the LORD  Than to put confidence in man.  It is better to trust in the LORD  Than to put confidence in princes. 
Prov. 3:26  For the LORD will be your confidence,  And will keep your foot from being caught. 
Prov. 14:26  In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence,  And His children will have a place of refuge.

2005 Hebrews: Thursday evening at 8:00 p.m. Hebrews is one of the most significant epistles in the New Testament for understanding the present session ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ in His royal High Priesthood, and why that is so vital for the believer to understand for his daily spiritual life and motivation. The heart of the epistle is in chapters 7 through 10.

The classes on all three of the above current series are live streamed from this website, and are available for downloading in audio and video formats.
