The Rapture of the Church vs. the Day of the Lord | John MacArthur

In this video, Pastor John MacArthur differentiates between the Rapture and the Day of the Lord, also called Tribulation, using passages from both the Old and New Testaments.

And citing Paul's letter of encouragement to the church in Thessalonica, MacArthur concludes that the apostle Paul himself taught a “catching away” of the saints (RAPTURE) before the Tribulation.

In other words, Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles held to a pre-tribulation rapture view, which is also the traditional view of the Church.
