I am continuing my response to Pastor Bob DeWaay.
He says that the prewrath rapture teaches the identification of the timing of the rapture “quite precisely.” Actually, of all four major rapture positions, it is the prewrath rapture position that is the least precise. Pretribulationism (as DeWaay affirms) identifies the rapture as occurring as the same day when the 7 year period begins. Midtribulationism identifies it exactly at the mid-point. Post-tribulationism identifies the rapture on the last day of the 7 year period. So all those three rapture positions identify the rapture on a specific exact day in relation to the 7 year period.
In contrast, the prewrath rapture position says the rapture will occur sometime during the second half of the 7 year period when the Great Tribulation is cut short. It is the prewrath position that can only make sense out of Jesus’ words that no one can know the day or hour (see this video commentary for a point against the pretrib interpretation of this verse).
