Monday's article, "Defending The Pre-Trib Rapture (Again)" by Jack Kelley, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:

Some body asked me a great question the other day. "Does Scripture actually promise a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, or is it just an opinion passed along from teacher to student?" Then he challenged me to cite even one Bible verse that would lead a person to believe the Pre-Trib position if they hadn't already heard about it from some Bible teacher. He said that in all his studies he's not been able to find one. Let's see if he's right.
