Don’t let the title fool you. The guy is NOT a pre-tribulationist.
I’d be interested in your take.
He seems to be, he just redefines the term.
"According to the Bible's definition of the great tribulation, a pre-tribulation harpazo occurs anytime before Israel's persecution starts at the abomination of desolation. ... It was also after finding Luke 17:24-37, that I realized that when looking at the scriptures themselves, a pre-wrath harpazo was more apparent and fitting with the whole council of God. I think the main problem between all the different viewpoints is the fact that their harpazo timing revolves around "tribulation." How you define "tribulation" changes your perspective on the harpazo because your harpazo is labeled in direct relation to the tribulation, pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib. It is imperative to define what "tribulation" you're talking about."
This sounds like the Marvin Rosenthal view. Regardless of what he calls himself, any futurist rapture scenario that separates the “catching up” from the Second Coming is fundamentally flawed.
