Reasons for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture 2

In part two of this study the biblical reasons for believing the rapture of the church will be before the beginning of the great tribulation include: 3) the absence of the church in Revelation 6-18; 4) The church is promised deliverance from God's wrath; 5) there must be a gap between the rapture and the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth; 6) the departure revealed in 2 Thessalonians 2:3; and 7) the imminent return of Jesus Christ for the church.
