Answer Question
Pre-Trib/Mid-Trib/Post-Trib or No Rapture
If I am correct, this was already discussed before, but I would like to start a different thread on it if you please. I not only believe that there is a rapture, but here is why I believe in a "Pre-Trib" Rapture. I will make my "case" short and sweet, and I do hope there are some that will "voice" his or her version on this, but with ONLY Biblical scriptures to back up why you believe what you believe. That being stated, here are my reasons for believing in a Pre-Trib Rapture.
The Tribulation is NOT man against man. It is God's Wrath being poured out upon mankind. If we, His Children, are saved from His Wrath, then why would He pour His Wrath upon us? That would not make sense to me.
The Tribulation being spoken of in His Word starts in Chapter 6, and ends in Chapter 19 when Jesus returns to earth in His second coming. At no time during those chapters is the church mentioned. Obviously, the church is not present during those times. Now there will be those who receive Him DURING the Tribulation, and those He will help them get through it.
And here is a verse that, to me, confirms this;
Revelation 3:10
10 Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
