25 REASONS FOR THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE

1.  The Church is not mentioned in texts concerning the Tribulation.
2.  The Tribulation is a.k.a. "The Time of JACOB'S Trouble" (Israel's).
3.  The Tribulation is for Daniel's people (Dan. 9:24).
4.  The Church did not exist during Daniel's 69 wks.; will not be here during 70th.
5.  John's ascension in Rev. 4:1 is a type; it occurs before the Tribulation (Rev. 6-18).
6.  The Church is not mentioned between Rev. 6 and Rev. 18).
7.  The Church is exempt from the "Day of Wrath" (Zeph. 1:15; 1 Th. 1:10; 5:9).
8.  The Church is comforted by knowing it will be gone (1 Th. 4:13-18).
9.  The faithful Church has Christ's promise of being removed (Rev. 3:10).
10. The Church is wed to Christ in heaven during the Tribulation (Rev. 19:7).
11. The Church, like Noah, will be above the judgment below (Gen. 7:13; Mt. 24:37).
12. The Church, like Lot, will be above the judgment below (Gen. 19:17; Lk. 19:29).
13. The Church is to pray they will not be ashamed at His coming for them (Lk. 21:36).
14. The Church will be with Jesus (Jn. 14:1-3; Heb. 13:5).
15. The Church will be spared from God's wrath (Mal. 3:17-18).
16. Jesus comes for His Church (1 Th. 4:16-17); later with His Church (Rev. 19:14).
17. The Church would reveal the Antichrist, not just two witnesses (Rev. 11:3-12).
18. The Antichrist will not take control until after the Church is gone (2 Th. 2:6-8).

22. The Church is represented in heaven prior to the Tribulation (Rev. 4:1-4).

24. The 144,000 are Jews and are not part of the Church (Rev. 7:14).
25. The Church is longing for "that blessed hope"; not the Tribulation (Titus 2:13)!
