The Rapture of the Church (Part 2)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES   Paul wrote in Titus 2:13, While we wait for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Part 2 of Dr. Gonzalez’s study of the doctrine of the Rapture of the church, he will present the various positions regarding the time of the Rapture. He will then begin making the biblical case for the pretribulational rapture of the church. Those of who hold to this position believe that the rapture of the church will occur prior to the start of the tribulation period. Dr. Gonzalez explains that the first phase of His return is imminent, that no prophecy must be fulfilled for the rapture to take place, and that it will occur without any prior signs or warnings. The rapture of the church will bring the church-age to an end, allowing God to continue and finish His program for Israel.     Today’s podcast is brought to you by Time in the Word.
