I can think of no other singular doctrine within Christianity that is as maligned as much as the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church is…with the possible exception of Creation.After reading countless books and articles that attack the pre-trib rapture, I've noticed a certain number of arguments based in fallacies that are always repeated. Error like that there was no pre trib church fathers, that The Restrainer is not the Holy Spirit and that the True church needs to be purified.The idea that the True Church needs to undergo some discipline to become worthy to dwell with God is not scriptural and denies the Lord's completed work on the cross.All True believers were purified at the cross at which time all the punishment due us was born by the Lord Himself. From that time forward the true believer is considered by God to be as righteous as He is (2 Cor 5:17 & 21)The haranguing away on the falicies of Mary McDonald, that there are no suitable pretribulation premillenial church fathers when there clearly are: I can NOT believe how many anxiety-filled unbelieving believers there are out there today that will accept disproven claims as true.There are some who make their livings throwing mud balls –usually with stones at the centers—at those of us who proclaim the truth that Jesus will come for His Church –all born-again believers—BEFORE the tribulation era –the last seven years of human history that culminates at Armageddon. These, who refuse to see two programs of God's dealing with mankind, Israel , and the Church --these two dovetailing into one magnificent prophetic culmination-- castigate us who believe that God deals with His creation called man dispensationally (the ages of Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, David, the Church, Tribulation, Millennium, etc.).The fourteen century delay in the study and comprehension of Eschatology is key in understanding God's timing for the dispensation of mankind."About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the Prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.'' -Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727From the early 18th century to the late 19th century there were four Great Awakenings. In the last three centuries, the world has been lavishly exposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ through missionaries, evangelical crusades, television, books, internet, miracles, dreams, visions and through an abundance of teachers. It wasn't until the Dispensational Movement in the 19th century which brought the Church back to a literal understanding of the Bible that delivered the golden age of that great revival.The post trib view wrongfully confuses the necessary purification of the world and the false church to include purification of the true church.Indeed, new believers will populate the tribulation era by the millions. It will, many who study that period believe, be a time of the greatest coming to Christ in the history of man. What the writer of this book–and others—fail to recognize, or even consider, is that God deals with man, including His children, in dispensations. There are saints of the Church Age at present, and there will be saints during the tribulation. Neither will be together in the same dispensation.A literal understanding demands a Pre-Tribulation Rapture as the only logical, singular event that would officially kick off the start to Daniel's 70th week and the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth.
