The Story: An Apocalyptic Tale of Epic Proportions

The return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is drawing near. Jesus warned us to be ready and watching so that day does not catch us unaware. Preceding Jesus return will be a time of great tribulation. At the end of that tribulation period Christ will return, gathering His Children and pouring His wrath upon those who are destroying the earth. A popular theory emerged in about 1830 that postulated that the church would be raptured before the time of tribulation. The doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture has permeated the culture of the American church embedding itself in church doctrine. To simply address this issue by highlighting the clear reading of Scripture is not sufficient for many people. Examine with me the pre-tribulation rapture theory. Is it sound doctrine or myth? What does the Scripture say? Bob Gunderson was born in 1952 to Joel and Arlene Gunderson. His father was a minister and he was raised in church from the time of my birth. Early in his life he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Shy and reclusive by nature he had a tendence to avoid situations that placed him in front of people. So, it was with reluctantly that he accepted God's call to on his life to teach. The desire to share the knowledge of Scripture that he had been privileged to learn through his dad's ministry and study of the Word compel him to speak and write. For years he has taught adult Sunday School classes. Now retired from his occupations in carpentry, logging, and oil refining he has written three books.
