Pre-Tribulation Rapture















                                                             The first viewpoint we wi  l k
                                                             at is the pre-tribulation rapture
                                                             of the church, which is a popular
                                                               view held by many believers.

        Those who hold this position
      point out that in the prophecy of   Since there is sti  a seventieth
        the seventy ‘sevens’ Daniel is   seven to come, this is a time
      speaking to the nation of Israel.   when God deals specifica y
                                          with Israel (Daniel 9:27).














        While this does not nece„arily
         indicate that the church is not
      present, it does bring into question
      the reason for the church to be on
      earth when God is dealing primarily
           with the nation of Israel.
















          In a pre-tribulation rapture, God
        “snatches away” a  believers from the
       earth before His righteous judgment is
      poured out during the tribulation period.
          Two verses used to describe the
            rapture are: 1 The„alonians
          4:13–18, and 1 Corinthians 15:50–54.
