Bible Question:
How does one believe in a pretrib rapture handle "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation" (Rev 7:14)? Who are these ones? What does "come out of the great tribulation" mean? Searcher |
Bible Answer: One of the best promises guaranteeing the church's rapture before the Tribulation is found in Revelation 3:10. This is Christ's own promise to one of His seven churches, the church of Philadelphia. The word "from" (Greek,ek) in Revelation 3:10 literally means "out of". God is saying, " I will keep you out of the wrath to come." |
