One of the most controversial topics in the Bible community is the timing of the rapture of the church. But it needn’t be. We have numerous articles on the scriptural support for the pre-tribulation Rapture.

Rapture By Grant Phillips The Pre-Tribulation Rapture is one of the most hated, scorned and mocked subjects one could address in the world today.
