Corrie Ten Boom said that the preaching of ideas along the lines of the rapture left the European church unprepared for the persecution they faced from the Nazis.

Did Corrie Ten Boom believe that there would be NO rapture, or did she just deny the pre-tribulation rapture?

If she says “no rapture,” she is dead wrong.

Very, very insightful post!

We are repeating history because we have failed to learn from it.

Anything “novel” (as in Not taught by classical Christian scholars) that promises an escape is fraught with danger.

My first thought when I head the rapture mentioned was “what if it doesn’t happen exactly as they say; what if everyone goes through the persecution?”
