https://bibleprophecytalk.com/bpt-what-did-the-early-church-believe-about-the-rapture/ BPT- What Did the Early Church Believe About the Rapture “In one sense there is no real debate about what the early church fathers believed about the timing of the rapture. However those holding to a pretrib rapture position have offered up various theories concerning the Didache, Pseudo Ephraim and a host of other […]

Does the ‘Day of Christ’ and the ‘Day of the Lord’ Refer to the Same Event?
Pretrib interpreters maintain there is a difference in meaning between the terms the day of the Lord and the day of Christ. The term the day of Christ (Phil 1:6, 10; 2:16) has been thought to refer to the rapture and not God’s wrath, while the day of the Lord is believed to refer to […]
