    Some men have read into the second coming texts, distinctions that show the difference between the rapture and what they call the "revelation." The Bible knows no such distinctions.

    6. SUPPOSED DISTINCTIONS It is disappointing to read the works of men that are normally trustworthy in their treatment of Scripture, when it comes to their promotion of a pre-tribulation rapture. Consider our brother Dave Hunt, no lightweight in the Word. Over and over his publications define ...read more
