The Pretrib Rapture Defended

When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg defends the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine, providing arguments in support of this view. Gregg states that pre-tribulation rapture perspective draws from interpreting the Book of Revelation, which describes that the church age ends before the tribulation. He also argues that the Second Coming of Christ is different from the rapture and that the church's necessity for imminency doctrine provides essential incentives to live right and evangelize others. He concludes by stating that there is a lack of evidence within New Testament passages that the church will face the tribulation.
