In this final episode on the Rapture, I tackle one of the most hotly debated questions in Bible prophecy: When will the Rapture occur in relation to the Tribulation period? While all views agree that Church-Age believers are exempt from God’s wrath, the crucial question is when does that wrath begin?
I’ll walk you through the four main timing views—pre-Tribulation, mid-Tribulation, post-Tribulation, and pre-wrath. Then I will focus on the key verse that I believe settles this debate: Revelation 3:10. Jesus promises the church at Philadelphia, “I will keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world.”
Using a simple classroom analogy, I’ll show you the critical difference between being protected during the test versus being removed from the time of testing entirely. The Greek preposition ek (‘from’ or ‘out of’) and Christ’s promise “I am coming quickly” reveal exactly how He will fulfill this promise. This isn’t just about avoiding Tribulation—it’s about understanding that the purpose of the entire seven-year Tribulation. God has designed it to test “earth dwellers,” not the church.

The End Times Timeline: God’s Eternal Plan Revealed
This small comprehensive book, The End Times Timeline provides believers with an accessible framework for understanding biblical prophecy. It traces God's prophetic program from the Old Testament through the eternal state. What's particularly noteworthy is how current events align with ancient predictions—Israel's restoration, technological advances enabling global surveillance, and the geopolitical alignment of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39.
The timeline identifies key prophetic milestones: the Rapture preceding the Tribulation, the rise of Antichrist, the rebuilt Temple, and Christ's Second Coming. While some debate the timing of particular events like the Gog-Magog War, the overall framework reflects solid Bible research. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both new believers seeking prophetic clarity and mature Christians desiring to understand their place in God's unfolding plan.
