In this series on the biblical strengths and weakness of the 3 classic Rapture views...we continue to look at the Pre-Trib Rapture Timing and the arguments made by the proponents of this view.  And tonight's teaching leads us to learn what the Scripture says about an event that most believers will be very surprised about..."The Judgment Seat of Christ."

The Pre-Trib Rapture view believes that, before the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation, Christ will return for His Church, resurrect dead believers, transform the bodies of His living followers into immortal bodies, and catch us away to meet Him in the air. This will leave everyone else behind to live through the cataclysmic Tribulation, with its judgments and global disasters, and to face the horrifying Mark-of-the-Beast campaign where everyone has to decide whether they will worship the Antichrist. However, the Mid-Trib view believes the Church will go through the first half of the Tribulation...and the Post-Trib view teaches that the Church will go through the entire 7 years with everyone else.  We now begin looking at the strengths and weaknesses of each of the Rapture views.

After the preparation we’ve done in the last 3 weeks…we’re ready to study the three Rapture Timing Views that have survived the test of time in the Church. These views are believed by 100s of millions of followers of Christ around the world.  We’ll see what the proponents of the Pre-Trib, the Mid-Trib, and the Post-Trib Rapture views teach about when Christ will catch His Bride up into the air for the Great Reunion with our Coming King.  And then we’ll go through the biblical support…and the biblical challenges…for each of these views.

Controversies reign in the arena of Rapture timing.  But, despite the differences that exist between the proponents of the Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, and Post-Trib views, there are a lot of aspects about the Rapture that aren’t controversial at all.  This we begin with what we know for sure about the Rapture.  In this session, we’ll cover the details of the biblical descriptions of what happens in this astonishing future event…when Christ comes for His Bride!!!

In our series about the Last Days…we’ve come to what the Bible teaches about the Rapture: The future event when the Lord comes for His Church, resurrects the dead in Christ, and in a twinkling of an eye…changes the bodies of living believers into their eternal resurrection bodies. Tonight, we begin this series by laying the groundwork of understanding what will go on during the last 7 years of history.  This timeline flows directly out of Scripture, rather than being some theological system that’s overlaid to make the text say what we want it to say. And with this foundation laid, we'll be ready to study the biblical strengths and weaknesses of the three classic Rapture views: The Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, and Post-Trib.

Left Behind???  At some point in the future…will the Church vanish...leaving billions of people to live through the most horrendous time in history?  Or will the Church go through the Great Tribulation along with the rest of the world? In response to these questions, Dr. Dan is launching a new Thursology series entitled, “Left Behind!!! Will the Church be Raptured Before the Tribulation???  In this series…we’ll look at what the Scripture teaches about the Rapture…and we’ll unpack the biblical strengths and weaknesses of the Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, and Post-Trib views.

Did Jesus have a bizarre, pathological need to make it look like he was the Jewish Messiah? So say many "scholars" who have posited the "Passover Plot." The story goes like this: Jesus and his band of deluded followers set up a masquerade to help him meet as many prophecies as possible...and to steal the body after he died...to make it look as if he was raised from the dead. This week, Dr. Dan demolishes the Passover Plot/Fake Resurrection myths by presenting the undeniable evidence that...on the third day...Jesus rose from the grave!!!

Leading up to Easter, Dr. Dan is teaching about the Preposterous Messianic claims of Christ...and how Jesus astonishingly met and fulfilled all of them. But this week we take on the most serious threat to Jesus' Messiahship. Joseph, the father of Jesus, came from the line of King Jehoiakin...and the Prophet Jeremiah proclaimed that, because of his persistent evil, none of his descendants could sit on the throne of Israel. Because of this, Joseph was not an heir to the throne...and none of his SONS could be Israel's king. But...within the resolution of this threat to Jesus' Messiahship is an astounding proof that He is The Christ!!!

In this mini-series leading up to Easter, Dr. Dan is teaching about the Preposterous Messianic claims of Christ...and how Jesus astonishingly met and fulfilled all of them. And this week we learn of the stunning precision of God threading the historical needle so that...just as mandated by the Prophets...the Messiah was born BEFORE Rome removed the right of declaring capital punishment from Israel. But...he also met the prophetic requirement to be executed AFTER this decision by the Caesars...so that He was crucified...rather than stoned. And we'll find that...in this seemingly-trivial historical nuance...lies the very salvation of the world...because...according to Moses...by hanging on a TREE...Jesus became the CURSE that was due to the Human Race!!!

As we enter the Passover Season, Dr. Dan is launching a Thursology series about the preposterous Messianic claims of Christ. During the four weeks leading up to Easter, we will look at the remarkable fulfillment of prophecy in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. For example, did you know that the Old Testament prophecies...combined with specific historical events that occurred during the Roman Empire...meant that the Messiah had to be born before 2 BC...and that He had to die before 70 AD? And based upon Scriptural predictions like this...in the first week of this mini-series...we'll look at the astronomical mathematics against fulfilling just 10 Messianic prophecies.  And then we'll try to ponder the incomprehensible fact that Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled more than 330!!!
