God will protect our soul IN the world, not FROM the world, during the Antichrist’s great tribulation
One of the most common reasons Christians are embracing the prewrath position is because of the distinction that is made between the Antichrist’s great tribulation and the day of the Lord’s wrath. Christians will be removed (raptured) from the latter but not the former. This point has caused the light bulb to go off in […]
