Delivered from the Wrath to Come: A Study of the Pretribulational Rapture

Description

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3:10. An hour of temptation is coming — it will be upon all the earth. It will not be in only the ‘trouble spots’ of the earth; the entire earth will feel the full weight of its fury. Those who kept the word of his patience during times of general tribulation will be kept from the time of great tribulation. Believers will be kept from (Gr. ek) the terrible hour. They will not go through it, but will be kept from it. This is a key passage demonstrating that the Rapture of believers will take place before the terrible time of trouble.
