Before time began, before the foundations of the world were laid, there was rebellion in heaven. The mighty cherub Lucifer, the most radiant of all the angels, allowed pride to corrupt his heart. He sought not only to reflect God's glory but to claim it for himself. "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High," he declared in his arrogance (Isaiah 14:14). Deceived by Lucifer’s prideful ambition, a third of the heavenly host joined his rebellion against God.

It was then that God prepared a place for these fallen ones—a place of judgment, a place of torment, a place of eternal separation from the presence of God. Hell was never created for man, but for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). Yet, in the garden of Eden, the serpent slithered in.

"And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them." - Exodus 24:12 KJV

Moses received the law and commandments from God on Mt. Sinai after The Exodus from Egypt.

But precisely when did grace and truth come by Jesus Christ? At His birth in Bethlehem? Sometime during Jesus’ 3 year ministry? At His death on the cross? Perhaps at His resurrection from the dead?

I want to define and answer the prominent arguments against the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and also show why there is so much confusion regarding the topic.

Here are the objections I will discuss:

1. No Clear Scriptural Support
2. The Second Coming and the Rapture Are Not Separate Events
3. The Church is Present During the Tribulation
4. The "Last Trumpet" Contradiction
5. The Wheat and Tares Parable (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43)
6. The "Day of the Lord" Includes the Tribulation
7. The Historical Church Did Not Teach a Pre-Tribulation Rapture
8. The Purpose of the Tribulation Includes the Church
9. The Resurrection Timing in Revelation 20:4-6
10. The Call to Endure, Not Escape
11. The "Hour of Testing" in Revelation 3:10 Refers to Protection, Not Removal
12. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb Timing Issue
13. Paul’s Warnings About the Antichrist Refute Pre-Tribulationism
14. Old Testament Patterns Favor God’s Protection in Tribulation, Not Removal
15. The Wrath of God and Tribulation Are Not the Same
