Making the Case for Pre-Tribulation Rapture - Part 1

We began a series a few weeks ago where we looked at the different views of the Rapture. This week, we will make the case that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is the correct view. It is the event described in the Bible of Jesus removing His faithful followers from the earth spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." When this occurs, millions of Christians will disappear from the earth.


We will address the following aspects of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture view: 

  • Imminence 
  • Pre-Tribulation View Too New?
  • Protection
  • Jewish Marriage
  • 1000-Year Reign of Christ

What Does it Mean to Bless Israel?

Genesis 12:3 states, "I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”


What does it mean to bless Israel? Why bless Israel? Does it mean we should agree with everything the Israeli government does? Is Israel today the Israel of the Bible? 


We answer these questions and more in today's episode.

Why Does the World Hate Charlie Kirk?

Jesus stated in John 15:18, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." The world hates Charlie Kirk for the same reason that it will hate the two witnesses of the Tribulation and celebrate their deaths - because they all proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ. The world hated Jesus Christ first, therefore it will hate all of us who follow Him.

Denounced AKA - Freedom From Bondage

We welcome this week's special guest, Brittany Boone. She speaks on the bondage that comes from fraternities and sororities but shares the freedom that comes through Christ by sharing her testimony. Concerning her testimony, she states: 

I recently denounced from Alpha Kappa Alpha and I’m happy to share the truth with you that God shared with me. On March 13th God revealed some truth with me, he showed me how real heaven and hell is, mostly how real demons are. As a saved Christian I stood on the fact that God loved me and would never let anything harm me, but on March 13th I learned that as a saved Christian filled with the Holy Spirit I was bound, the devil had some strongholds on my life. God showed me I needed to step away from the sorority and He backed it up with His Word.
