Caught Up, but When?

Where did the whole idea of an "escape" come into the Christian church? Surely we escape His wrath, for we are His very own children. But is it possible to escape the promise of Jesus, "You will have trouble in this world" ? I think not. Here's a look at the coming of Jesus, the once-for-all second coming that has been one of the mainstays of God's people from the beginning. In it I trace the beginnings and history of the so-called "pre-tribulation" rapture theory, placed next to the words of Jesus and Paul that cancel it from our thinking. I answer some common questions that arise, and refute the arguments that have been advanced for the "escape." May God give us sober serious hearts willing to count and pay the cost of discipleship.
