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 necearily
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 Thealonians
4:13–18, and 1 Corinthians 15:50–54.
