Prewrath Story – The Prewrath Position is the Natural Reading of Scripture

Bob writes,
I had read all the various positions after God saved and just decided upon Pretrib. I never was sure and was confused by a lot of verses. Of course I felt good that I wouldn’t have to suffer at all (my built-in fleshy bias!). Then God laid it on my heart to seriously study it in 2007, and praise God He opened my eyes! From Marvin Rosenthal, Charles Cooper, Robert Van Kampen, Alan Kurschner, and others, Scripture became clear and all the verses harmonized! I rejoiced!
I then went back to my Pretrib books wondering how I was so easily deceived. Very simply – mention only a few verses and makes lots of assumptions about those verses. My jaw dropped when I saw how easily I was wrong! Now, about 8 years later as the Lord taught me how to interpret His Word, it was wonderful to see how the PreWrath teachings naturally reveal God’s clear prophetic timeline.
They placed their markers at PreWrath since they could see verses line up, however, it would take more study to understand it fully.
I then created a chart to visualize the sequence of events and taught our Bible study group. My chart had the 4 viewpoints and I gave each person a Rapture marker and 10 verses on puzzle pieces that linked the chronology of events. I then asked them to arrange their puzzle pieces using the ‘face-value’ interpretation and then put their Rapture marker on the chart where they thought it would occur. They placed their markers at PreWrath since they could see verses line up, however, it would take more study to understand it fully.
So I praise God that He even chose to reveal the future to us; what a blessing! Especially in this day and age!
