There are very few books on the market today in regards to a mid-tribulational rapture of the Bride of Christ. Learn the unique features and benefits of having a mid-tribulation position of which is the only eschatological position that positively identifies the Apostle Paul's 'last trump' of I Cor 15:52 in Revelation!
A Mid-Tribulational Rapture is the only eschatological position that positively ID's and identifies the proper location in the book of Revelation of the Apostle Pauls' 'last trump' of I Corinthians 15:52 (KJV). This is a unique feature of holding to a mid-tribulational position.
The Mid-Tribulational Rapture lines up with the pre-tribulational position in that God will still deliver us from His 'wrath' to come. However, our position shows in Scripture that God’s wrath does not begin until the last 3 ½ years of the 7-year tribulation period (Revelation 15:4-7; 16:1-17).
The Mid-Tribulational Rapture properly details the difference between Paul's 'day of Christ' (the rapture in II Thessalonians 2:2 in the majority Greek text of the King James Bible) vs. the 'day of the Lord' in Matt chap 24 at Christ's 2nd coming during the latter part of the last 3 1/2 years.
Another unique feature of the Mid-Tribulational position is the huge amount of Biblical ammunition with literally hundreds of corresponding Scriptures that all lead to the same mid-point of the Apostle Paul's 'last trump' that he wrote to the Corinthians and the Thessalonians.
The Mid-Tribulational Rapture confirms what Jesus said Himself. After telling us in Mark 13:35 that we do not know if He is coming at even, at midnight, at the cockcrowing, or in the morning, He then tells the discerning in Matt 25:6 saying, “at midnight the bridegroom cometh”
The Mid-Tribulation Rapture best explains all the 3 ½ year time slots, and how they fit within Daniels’ 70th prophetic week. The 7-year tribulation period is broken in half at the “blessed hope” (Titus 2:13), the Rapture of the Bride! God makes references to 1260 days, 42 months, and 3 ½ years often.

This is part 1 in a series on understanding Bible Prophecy and a Mid-Tribulational Rapture at the Apostle Paul's 'last trump' of I Corinthians 15:52 (KJV). The Mid-Tribulational Rapture is the only position that positively identifies in the book of Revelation as to where Paul's 'last trump' is located, and which coincides with hundreds of other verses of Scripture.
This is part 2 in a series on understanding Bible Prophecy and a Mid-Tribulation Rapture at the Apostle Paul's 'last trump' of I Cor 15:52 (KJV). The Mid-Tribulation Rapture is the only position that positively identifies in the book of Revelation as to where Paul's 'last trump' is located, and which coincides with hundreds of other verses of Scripture. We further discuss Paul's 2nd letter to the Thessalonians revealing what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur.
Part 3 is a short recap of parts 1 and 2 as we move forward and beyond Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians in chapter two revealing what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur. We discuss several other Pre-Tribulational verses of Scripture that are forced to say something they do not say, and how other events point towards a rapture between Revelation 10:7 and Revelation 12:5.
We answer some of the viewers questions in going forward for a better understanding on the difference between the first 3 1/2 years and the last 3 1/2 years within the 7-year tribulation period. In Paul's 2nd letter to the Thessalonians, he reveals what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur. We discuss several other pre-trib verses of Scripture that are forced to say something they do not say in parts 2 and 3, and how other events point towards a rapture between Rev 10:7 and Rev 12:5.
We debunk some of the common pre-trib arguments along with reemphasizing the difference between the first 3 1/2 years of Paul's 'day of Christ' and Isaiah's the 'day of the Lord' during the last 3 1/2 years of the 7-year tribulation. In Paul's 2nd letter to the Thessalonians he reveals what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur. We discuss other pre-trib verses that are forced to say something they do not say in parts 2-3, and how other events point to a rapture in Rev 10:7 and Rev 12:5.
We debunk some of the common pre-trib arguments along with showing the difference between the first 3.5 years of Paul's 'day of Christ' and Isaiah's the 'day of the Lord' during the last 3.5 years of the 7-year period. In Paul's 2nd letter to the Thessalonians he reveals what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur. We discuss other pre-trib verses that are forced to say something they do not say in parts 1-6, and how other events point towards a rapture between Rev 10:7 and Rev 12:5.
In this part 7 we recap on debunking some of the common pre-trib arguments along with reemphasizing the difference between the first 3 1/2 years of Paul's 'day of Christ' and Isaiah's the 'day of the Lord' during the last 3 1/2 years of the 7-year tribulation. In Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians in chapter two he reveals what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur. We discuss several other pre-trib verses that are forced to say something they are not.
In this part 8 we debunk the post-millennium and a-millennium positions along with reemphasizing the difference between the first 3 1/2 years of Paul's 'day of Christ' and Isaiah's the 'day of the Lord' during the last 3 1/2 years of the 7-year tribulation. In Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians in chapter two he reveals what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur. We also go over some of the history on the different positions.
In this part 9 we debunk the post-millennium and a-millennium positions along with those who claim the 'falling away' in II Thessalonians 2:3 is the rapture of the church rather than a falling way from the faith of which the context of Scripture clearly reveals. In Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians in chapter two he reveals what must first come to pass before 'the day of Christ' (the rapture) can occur. We also discuss when the man of sin is revealed according to Daniel and II Thessalonians.
Learn what is withholding a third Jewish Temple from being built and holding back the man of sin from being revealed.
In this Part 11 we will show you how the King James Bible is alone in revealing certain valuable 'keywords' when relating to Bible prophecy. We had to take a small detour and bring up the Bible version issue because some of the questions and responses that are coming in reveal a distorted view of certain passages. The reason for this is due to many readings that are different than what the King James Bible says.
In this Part 12 we will reveal who the Woman and the Man-Child are in Revelation 12:1-6 and how that relates to a Mid-Tribulational Rapture of Christ's Bride.
In this Part-13 we will show you from the Scriptures that Matthew chapter 24 is not referring to the Rapture of Christ's Bride but is rather Christ's physical second coming back to earth at the Mount of Olives 3 1/2 years after our gathering together in the clouds with the Lord at Paul's 'last trump.'
