Failing to understand the difference between the word “tribulation” and the word “wrath” is one of the main reasons some believers wrongly gravitate toward the concept of a pre-tribulation rapture. Believers are never promise...

Why does the Bible teach that Jesus will come back “as a thief in the night”? Jesus compared his return and the church’s condition to the days of Noah. Why should believers want to be the ones “left behind”? This episode may ...
