The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: Rightly Dividing Scripture Amid the Debate

Summary: The debate continues among believers that the Church must go through the time of Jacob’s Trouble. Many refer to this as the great tribulation, and opponents of the rapture claim we will go through it with Israel. They criticize pre-tribulation rapture believers as being deceived and unable to distinguish between tribulation and wrath. As usual, these detractors fail to comprehend or acknowledge the distinction between God’s national salvation program for Israel and the dispensation of grace. Let’s rightly divide the Scriptures and see where the Word of God stands on a pre-tribulation rapture.

The Unlock the Bible Now ministry provides weekly Sunday Bible Studies to help you understand God's word and unlock the secrets found in the Bible.

Notes:
•We go through much tribulation as the Church
•The Church appears in heaven before Jacob’s Trouble (Rev. 7)
•The Body of Christ comes out of great tribulation by means of the Rapture
•We will come back with the Lord Jesus Christ
•We are promised to reign with Christ if we suffer persecution

Takeaway:
Why would Paul tell us to take comfort in the rapture if it happens after or in the rapture if it happens after or during the tribulation? Those who teach the pre-tribulation rapture is a heresy do not rightly divide the Word of truth. They fail to understand the distinction between God’s national salvation plan for Israel and His plan for the Church today. These plans are different, with different gospels and different inheritances. He gave the Church and Israel different apostles and different dispensations. He separated the doctrine for the dispensation of grace in 13 epistles and gave the doctrine for the tribulation saints in the last nine books of the Bible. These writings are grouped like this for a reason. Isn’t it time you stopped fighting and started believing?
