The Pretrib Rapture Refuted
When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this presentation, Steve Gregg challenges the belief in the pre-tribulation rapture by presenting counterarguments from Scripture. He emphasizes the importance of examining the Bible closely and not relying on popularly taught beliefs within the Evangelical Church. Gregg questions the assumption that the church will be spared from the tribulation and suggests that Christians may have to endure it. He also critiques the interpretation of the book of Revelation and the use of the term "church" in the context of the end times.
