When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores whether the pre-tribulation rapture is taught in scripture. Gregg questions the popular belief in a seven-year tribulation period, noting that biblical references to tribulation refer to an unprecedented global crisis. He examines the use of the term "day of the Lord" in the Old and New Testaments and argues that there is no evidence for a seven-year tribulation period. Gregg also scrutinizes the interpretation of Daniel 9 and argues that the dispensationalist view imports gaps into the text to support their beliefs.
