Actually, he didnt even get that right. Let's look at a few translations for 1 Thes. 1:10 ...
10: And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (KJV, which is what ET posted)
10: and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead–Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath (NIV)
10: and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. (NASB)
10: and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. (NJKV)
The participle here is not in the past tense "who delivered us" but rather a present tense ... "the one who delivers us" ... so ....... I fail to see how this is a reference to the crucifixion. The wrath to come is a future event ... and we are assured that Jesus is and will deliver us from that future wrath. What wrath is Paul talking about ... can only be one thing ... the wrath of God poured out during the tribulation period. So we have a passage that promises rescue from a future wrath. The word rapture is not there ... but the idea that we will be rescued from this coming wrath is clearly there ...
BUT NOT BECAUSE OF A RAPTURE. BECAUSE WE WILL BE PROTECTED LIKE NOAH AND LOT ETC. They weren't taken away or removed from the earth. They believed YHWH and trust in YHWH.
Isaiah 43:11 -- I, even I, am YHWH; and beside Me there is no saviour.
Isaiah 47:4 - Our Redeemer, YHWH of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.
Psalm 146:3 - Put not your trust in Princes, nor in the Son of Man, in whom there is no help.
Isaiah 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I YHWH am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
