I was saved in an AG Church and educated in AG Schools. I have a Masters Degree from AGTS in Springfield, MO. I have always struggled with the question of the rapture. I could not get my head around a pretrib Rapture when reading Matt. 24. It just did not fit. It was several years ago that I concluded that a prewrath rapture was the only solution I could see. It was hard because of my training to express it so I spoke only to my wife about it. Your site has given me the courage to write about this on my own blog site that addresses the issues of christian living in today's world. My greatest concern is that many will not be able to endure any Persecution and will fall to the way side. Again this will explain the great falling away found in Matt. 24. There is much work to do in preparing the people to accept the notion that we will endure persecution. I have an article on the Last twenty-four hours of Christ's life on earth and one of the characteristics is the acceptance of suffering in this life. Jesus had to come to grips with it in the garden and so do we in our own garden experience. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Bro. Bob
