There was some discussion awhile back and some were holding to post-trib so I thought it might be a good idea to post re: pre-trib which is the view I hold.

Glad you enjoyed.

I believe that the pre-trib position is the correct one, too.

The author makes an excellent point which I, and I’m sure many others of opposing views, never thought of. What is the difference between the tribulations experienced by believers throughout the Church Age and that in the Seven-Year Tribulation? Is it just a matter of degree? If so, what were the Christians under the exceedingly cruel Roman Emperor Nero? Chopped liver?

Christians have been skinned alive, tortured at length, fed to wild beast, cast out of society, and countless other indignities and cruelties to mention. How can it get any worse under the Anti-Christ?

The obvious answer is that the trials endured by Church-Age Christians are imposed by a pagan, god-hating world. The sufferings that will be inflicted on humanity during the Great Tribulation will be by God himself, using the instrument of the Anti-Christ as a bludgeon against Israel until the time of their deliverance.
