Greetings John and Doves,

       Great post Steven K on the most comprehensive study I've seen on the pre-wrath rapture. I've spent most of my 40 years as a Christian believing in the pre-trib rapture theory. The reason is probably the same as most others. You have all these scriptures pointing to a pre and a post trib and a few scriptures have questions that can't be answered but there are less with the pre trib than the post trib and way to many in the mid trib. So I went with the odds and the fact that so many ministers that I like go with the pre trib view. Then progressive revelation like Daniel referred to:

  Dan 12:9  And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 

and as I studied it kicking and screaming (trying to hold on to traditions of men) I saw it answered all my questions....pre, mid, and post all had a Truth and it's in the pre-wrath rapture. Now listen very careful to my next statement..........

Would you rather believe in a pre-wrath rapture and then get a joyful surprise of a pre-trib......or.........believe in a pre-trib rapture and not be prepared in any way shape, or form for the persecution of the anti-Christ.....I choose the latter 

Rev_13:7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
I have also asked Steven K to post some videos on this at his web site ( address below) and I would suggest that if you care at all about this subject, you view them, it's about 3 hours but you can view them a little here and there.....as for me once I saw one I had to watch them all<[:o)
