The Pre Wrath Rapture View

In a readable, informative style, (complete with twenty-five charts), Rosenthal takes a fresh look at the biblical prophecies concerning end-times events and helps us understand what impact they should have on our daily Christian lives.

An authoritative biblical critique of the recent pre-wrath rapture theory popularized by Rosenthal and Van Kampen.

The rapture--or the belief that Jesus' living followers will, at some point, join him forever while others do not--is an important but contested doctrine among evangelicals. Scholars generally hold one of three perspectives on the timing and circumstances of the rapture, all of which are presented in this important volume of the Counterpoints series, Three Views on the Rapture: Alan D. Hultberg (PhD, Trinity International University and professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology) explains the Pre-Wrath view. Craig Blaising (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary and president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) defends the Pre-Tribulation view. Douglas Moo (PhD, University of St. Andrews and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College) sets forth the Post-Tribulation view. Each author provides a substantive explanation of his position, which is critiqued by the other two authors. A thorough introduction gives a historical overview of the doctrine of the rapture and its effects on the church. The interactive and fair-minded format of the Counterpoints series allows readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions.

A concise overview of all End Times events. Founded on the conviction that biblical prophecy will be literally fulfilled, this revised version presents a compelling case for the pre-wrath return of Christ.

This companion workbook to the highly acclaimed Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church helps readers journey--step-by-step--to a new Bible-based understanding of when specific end-times' events will occur and further elaborates on the crucial points made by Rosenthal in his much-discussed book.

Dr. Paul Karleen offers an insightful evaluation of the pre-wrath view of the Rapture, challenging such pre-wrath assertions as these: The church will be taken after the middle of Daniel's 70th week; There is no biblical evidence for the imminent return of Christ; The Day of the Lord does not include the Millennium; The Tribulation is shortened to less than 3 1/2 years; The archangel Michael is the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2; Jesus Christ returns to earth only once in a combined Rapture and Second Advent in a coming that begins before the end of the 70th week and finishes after it. The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church: Is it Biblical? weighs pre-wrath arguments, not from the standpoint of any particular Rapture position, but with regard to facts, contexts, language, and logic. - Back cover.
