Why the Rapture Happens Before the Tribulation

Is the Rapture Really Pre-Trib?

Debates abound, but Scripture consistently supports a pre-tribulation Harpazo. The Greek word “harpazo” means to snatch away suddenly, and it’s always used in urgent, forceful contexts. The Bride is not appointed to wrath.

Patterns from the Past

Noah entered the ark before the flood. Lot was pulled out of Sodom before fire fell. God rescues the righteous before judgment; this has always been His pattern.

A Wedding, Not a War

The Rapture isn’t a panic event; it’s a wedding rehearsal. Ancient Jewish wedding customs show the bridegroom arriving unexpectedly to carry away the bride for a seven-day celebration. So too, the Bride of Christ will be taken before the seven-year Tribulation.

Conclusion: Don’t Be Caught Off Guard

The Rapture is real, and it’s coming without warning. Live with expectancy, not anxiety.
