3 Undeniable Reasons the Rapture is Pre-Trib: Jimmy Evans

Key insights

πŸ’‘ “A pre-tribulation Rapture of the church can be found in the Bible, and it can be proven using only Biblical sources.”

πŸ’‘ “I could no longer defend a post-tribulation Rapture… pastors teach this because they’ve got a bunch of wimps in the congregation that want to hear it.”

πŸ“– The speaker believes in a pre-tribulation Rapture because they have studied prophecy for many years and have seen the tapestry of scriptures come together.

🌍 The tribulation period is described as “hell on Earth,” with horrific judgments and the majority of people dying, highlighting the severity of the events.

🌩️ “He’s going to Deliver. Us from that wrath.” – The Rapture is seen as a way for believers to be delivered from the wrath of God.

😌 Believers are comforted by the idea of the Rapture because it is said that God has not destined them for wrath.

πŸ’” “There is no protection for believers in the tribulation.”

πŸ™ Jesus encouraged his followers to “pray that you always may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the son of man.”

πŸŒͺ️ The Rapture will be selective, based on one’s relationship with Jesus, rather than external factors such as marriage or friendships.
