Exposing the Fallacies of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture

After all these years and my perseverance for the truth, I have written this book about the rapture. Even though I do not hold a degree in theology, I believe my years of study concerning the topic of the rapture and zeal for scriptural truth, qualifies me to write this book.
I am convinced of the argument for the prewrath rapture as being the clearest, most scripturally developed teachings on the subject. It is my earnest desire that these truths expressed in this thesis will be a blessing and add clarity to your understanding of the end-times.
My intent is to expose the fallacies of pretribulationism from the clear teaching of the word of God compared to prophecy teachers, as they misinterpret biblical passages and contradict each other. I am fully aware of how emotions affect a person’s belief system; nevertheless, we need to set aside personal feelings and allow the weight of the evidence separate truth from error.
I will point out the many contradictory statements by the leading pre-tribulation teachers over some of the basic verses pertaining to the rapture of the church. I could have had documented many more of their contradictions in my book; however, these are sufficient enough to reflect what is central to their theory. This book focuses mainly on the fallacies of the pretribulation rapture and the scriptural rebuttal. I only ask that you keep an open mind when you consider why there is so much discrepancy between those who advocate pretribulation teachings. I believe the prewrath position on the rapture will become a real option for many.
I also want my book to emphasize the true meaning of Christ’s return. We can debate when Christ comes; however, we cannot afford to miss the purpose of why Christ is coming back. This is paramount in the context of the passages highlighting Christ’s return, which far-exceeds the timing of Christ’s return. Almost anyone can pick and choose verses, scramble them together, and come up with some type of Bible doctrine. I am not accusing the Pretribulation teachers of this; however, I want this book to be more than just surface level reading, but taking the context of the passages to determine the meaning. I will also attempt to establish a background on some of the topics, which will help us better grasp the significance of the rapture debate. That is why the reader will experience more than just “another” book on the rapture topic.
I believe the Word of God to be the final authority in all matters. I believe, as we arrive closer to our Lord’s return that Christians with an escapism mentality will be questioned. With the ever-changing world in which we live, many Christians will see the hostility of the anti-Christ society in light of the prophesied scriptures. These prophetic scriptures will bring hope when this world turns against biblical Christianity. We will know and trust our God in the midst of trials and troubles.
In my years of study of biblical truths, I have found that in conversations concerning the rapture that many are not really sure what they believe. Many defend the teachings of their church rather than scripture, which is something I frequently did. Some tend to “reason” more in their belief than actually substantiating their belief with scripture. I fear that many other biblical doctrines receive similar treatment.
I am afraid that many Christians are of the persuasion that Jesus will not allow them to suffer physically, which is a critical factor involving the rapture debate. I call this type of prosperity gospel, “Americanized Christianity,” and it is rampant in our churches. With all the emphasis on God’s blessings, we have forgotten God’s warnings. Many churches have become self-help centers for physical and emotional needs instead of a called-out-assembly to proclaim God’s truth; the emphasis being on extrinsic rewards rather than intrinsic guidance. Questioning the legitimacy of the pretribulation rapture view is rejected by many simply based on a deliverance from trial’s mentality that permeates many Christians thinking.
