What does the Bible actually teach about the rapture?

In Episode 4 of The Endtime Basics, we examine one of the most debated subjects in biblical prophecy—the believer's experience during the end time.

This session explores the scriptural foundations of both pre-tribulation and post-tribulation rapture teachings, the passages often used to support them, and the questions they raise when compared with the wider testimony of Scripture.

The discussion goes beyond doctrinal positions to focus on a deeper question: What is God seeking to accomplish in believers before His return?

Through a study of Matthew 24, Luke 21, 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15, and other key passages, this episode presents a perspective on readiness, spiritual growth, maturity, and preparation for the Lord's coming.

If you have ever wondered:

• Will believers pass through the tribulation?

• What does it mean to watch and be ready?

• Why does Scripture speak of some being taken and others left?

• What is the purpose of spiritual maturity in God's plan?

This episode offers a detailed examination of these questions directly from the Word of God.

Watch, study, and consider the Scriptures for yourself.

What happens when God's judgments begin upon the earth?

Episode 3 of The Endtime Basics examines God's judgments during the final seven years of this age and the events described in the Book of Revelation.

This session explores the midpoint of the final prophetic seven years, the opening of the seals, the sounding of the trumpets, the Great Tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist, and the judgments that will impact the earth before the return of Christ.

From the sixth seal to the seventh trumpet, this teaching presents a sequential overview of the events that precede the establishment of Christ's millennial kingdom.

Topics covered include:

* The final seven years of Daniel's prophecy

* The Great Tribulation

* The sixth and seventh seals

* The seven trumpets

* God's judgments upon the earth

* Armageddon

* The return of Christ

* The Millennial Kingdom

A sobering look at one of the most significant prophetic subjects in Scripture and what the Bible reveals concerning the closing years of this age.

Episode 2: Understanding Daniel’s 70 Weeks.

This session focuses on the foundational timeline of the end times as revealed in Daniel 9:24–27. Daniel’s prophecy speaks of 70 groups of seven, with 69 already fulfilled from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem until Christ's death. One final seven-year period remains.

These last seven years mark the end-time period. At its midpoint, the Antichrist breaks the covenant, stops the sacrifice, and ushers Israel into the Great Tribulation. The final three and a half years—also described as 1,260 days, 42 months, or time, times, and half a time—represent the Great Tribulation, culminating in the return of Christ.

The key takeaway is a simple end-time structure: one remaining seven-year period, divided into two halves, with the final three and a half years being the Great Tribulation.
