PROPHECY BOOTCAMP: "The Rapture Before the Tribulation?" (Part 3) from Dr. Tim LaHaye

The three views we have discussed represent the prevailing views of most Christians who believe that Christ will come prior to the millennial kingdom. It is good to keep in mind that sometimes a difference of opinion is determined by whether you take the prophecies about the Tribulation literally or metaphorically. Since similar tragic events have already happened before in the Old Testament (either in the plagues of Egypt or the judgments of God on Israel and the pagan nations), there is no real reason to reject the idea that the prophesied events should be taken literally and will happen exactly as predicted.

While the proponents of the mid-tribulation and post-tribulation views may appear to have persuasive arguments, I believe that when the Bible is properly understood, we find that it teaches the rapture will occur before the Tribulation.
