Biblical Evidence for a Pre-tribulation Rapture | Marking the End Times with Dr. Mark Hitchcock

Today on Marking the End Times, I will be discussing the tribulation period. I explain the Biblical evidence of the pre-trib rapture as well as opposing viewpoints. I also dive deeper into the aspects of Biblical prophecy that the post-trib arguments have overlooked.

Subscribers will have access to an exclusive portion of the show where I answer the questions “Do we have to wait until the next Shmita cycle for the rapture to happen?” and “Do we need to keep the sabbath or is it just for the nation of Israel?”

I just look at the character of God in the old testament. In the flood, in Sodom, He always takes out His own before judgment.

Very good exposition of the four main conceptions with regard to the rapture of the church.

Amen!! John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only
Son of God.

Bingo, Mark, and a hearty Amen! Thank you and to God, alone, the glory!!

My bible says this, " For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, " Accordingly, I believe this could also include man's wrath in the first half of the tribulation period which will be at a level of untold devastation to those who believe. I believe in a pretrib rapture even though I believe the first half is man's wrath.

I don’t know how I’d get through all my trials if I didn’t have my hope in a pre trib RAPTURE! Please Lord Jesus rapture us now 🙏

The word "keep" in Revelation 3:10 where it says, "Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also KEEP you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth." "is from the Greek word tereo which means to guard or protect by keeping the eye upon, it does NOT mean to remove.

Thank you for your message on the end times. Well studied 👍🏻📚

[lauriejones]

It is God’s wrath. It does not matter if one believes in it or not it is going to happen just as the word of God says it will be ready to meet our Lord. Our savior always he is coming and he is coming soon I think sooner than people realize like this year soon Maranatha thank you Pastor for your words.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. [I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU]. And if I go and prepare a place for you, [I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO]."

~ John 14:1-3

"I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, [AS OF A TRUMPET], saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, ” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band."

~ Revelation 1:10-13

"After these things I looked, [AND BEHOLD, A DOOR STANDING OPEN IN HEAVEN]. And the first voice which I heard [WAS LIKE A TRUMPET] speaking with me, saying, “[COME UP HERE], and I will show you things which must take place [AFTER THIS].”

~ Revelation 4:1

"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[WHEREFORE COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS]."

~ 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: [FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND], and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

~ 1 Corinthians 15:51-53

“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. [BUT AT THAT TIME YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED],  everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,  some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

~ Daniel 12:1-2

"Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. Because you have kept My word about patient endurance, [I WILL KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL] that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown."

~ Revelation 3:9-11

"Your dead shall live;
Together with my dead body they shall arise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.

Come, my people, enter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
For behold, the LORD comes out of His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her blood,
And will no more cover her slain."

~ Isaiah 26:19-21

"Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy [TO ESCAPE] all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

~ Luke 21:36

"The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Return, O LORD!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.
Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.
Let Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands."

~ Psalm 90:10-17

"FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST."

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:9

I love Ruidoso and Alto..lived in both places. I'm so jealous. I live in Arizona now. Those rain clouds look wonderful. I remember the balmy summers with rain showers, the heavy scent of pine trees. So tranquil and relaxing. Great teaching from there.

Yeshua is the Bridegroom, we are going to the wedding. People need to research the Jewish wedding.
Yeshua made the proposal, He drank the cup, signifying the marriage covenant, He paid the price, He went to the Fathers house to prepare a place for the bride. At the appointed time, He seends His groomsmen to go get the bride. They lift her up and carry her to the Groom. Then He takes His bride to the wedding chamber for seven days, (for us seven years, during the tribulation). Then He presents His bride to the world.

Absolutely the pre-tribulation! It is scriptural.

[deepuckrughoobur]

THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS PASSPORT TO ENTER HEAVEN

[tednash]

I am a pre-tribulation fellow, but whether we a pre, post, mid tribulation believing as long as we are truly believing in Christ then we will go at the trumpet sound. What is equally important for me is that as many as possible go at the rapture and that it happens. So I am trusting the Lord to take me when the time is right and that as many will be saved the tribulation as possible.

Amen Brother. When Jesus comes for the church, we go to meet Him in the clouds. The second coming is when He comes back to earth, and we will come back with Him.

Second. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit the second we trust Jesus alone apart from any works, for the free gift of eternal life. Ephesians 1:13-14. Romans 6:23. For the penalty for sin is death, BUT, the GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The tribulation saints will have to keep the faith and not take the mark of the beast to be saved. Revelation 14:9-13.
