This short video presents one of the best scriptural arguments I’ve ever heard against the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture. Pre-tribulation rapture advocates claim that 1st Thessalonians 5 begins a completely new subject that is fully disconnected from 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17. This video exposes an inescapable paradox that arises when adhering to that line of thought.…

Daniel 11 and 12 are two of the most amazing chapters in the Bible. Through a careful reading, we can discover the geographic location of the kingdom of the Antichrist, whose wrath the Tribulation really is and the timing of the gathering of the Church to Christ upon His return (the rapture). The timing of…

This is intended to be a supplemental to “Is teaching the pre-tribulation rapture heretical? [1 Corinthians 15; Matthew 24]”. I would encourage you to read the primary article as well. I don’t believe it was Paul’s intent to give a full accounting of the events of Christ’s return when he wrote the letters to the…

Recently, I have been accused of heresy because I believe Scripture teaches the rapture of believers will take place at the end of the Tribulation. Normally, I let these kinds of things go but that’s a serious charge and never one to be made lightly. Since I stand on the words of Christ alone in…

When I actually began walking with Christ some years ago, He gave me a passion for certain areas of His Word that Christians can sometimes get bogged down in, specifically Creation, prophecy, eternal salvation and the rapture. I don’t believe God is ambiguous in any of these areas and you must believe that in order…

According to Jesus’ own words in Matthew 24:29-42, His return takes place “…immediately after the tribulation of those days.” Jesus then goes on to describe the rapture in the context of His return. Even though this is what Jesus taught, this view is unpopular with many Christians who believe we will be raptured before the…

6th in the series. Starts here. An examination of the analogy of the thief as used by Christ, Paul and Peter and how the analogy can be used to deduce that the time between the Rapture and the final battle is much less than seven years My study of prophetic timelines for the end of…

5th in the series. Starts here. Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, [2Th 2:1 NASB] Whenever possible, I prefer to go directly to the source, Jesus Christ, to solve Biblical issues. There are many Scriptural arguments one could make against…

4th in the series. Starts here. Christ will return in the same way He left Ok. Now let’s get into some Scripture dealing directly with the Return of Christ. The disciples were told Christ would return the same way He left. What does that mean? It means the Church won’t be raptured before the Tribulation.…

3rd in the series. Starts here. Before we get into Scripture dealing directly with the Tribulation and the Rapture, I want to present some peripheral arguments against a Pre-Trib Rapture. I do not wish to cause ill feeling between those of us who believe we will be raptured before the beginning of the Tribulation and…

2nd in the series. Starts here. A commentary on the false premise that prophecy is unknowable and the true imminence of Christ’s Return I remember I was dialoguing a couple of years ago with someone online about Christ’s Return. After stating that I believe the Church will be present during the Tribulation, the person commented,…
