I came to the prewrath view in 92 after a pastor asked me to review Marv Rosenthal's book. I was taken aback as well as by a fellow believer who helped me see that the proper order of Pauls II Thess. 2 (for gentiles and Jews) includes an antichrist first. Having been raised in the Plymouth Brethren where one of the founders after 1832, J.N. Darby spread a pretrib view after stealing it from a Scottish teen Margaret McDonald (see The Rapture Plot-MacPherson), I couldn't tolerate a contending view, and at first was quite indignant that someone would spread an opposing view. After all 51 years ago now I trusted the Lord as a child when I felt that I would be left behind by my parents who would be taken at any moment. May God help the Body of Christ realize we cannot escape the pain of the great tribulation and will be taken up to Christ and likewise come right back with Him in His parousia.
