Ron Wallace dispels the popular claim that Christ would never allow His bride to face the persecution from the Antichrist.  Many in the pre-trib camp believe that Christ would simply never let that happen.

Severe persecution, even to the point of physical death, has been the experience of the Church from its beginning. And the presence of such persecution at the hands of Antichrist in the tribulation is really no different from facing death through persecution before the tribulation. The idea that Christ would never allow His bride to face the persecution from the Antichrist cannot logically be used to prove that the Church won't enter the tribulation.
