How strong are the Post trib and mid trib rapture positions these days. To me the problem of interpretation always seems to come down to Who Is Israel? Way back in transition from my replacement theology days I did embrace Rosenthal’s pre wrath rapture position for a little while.
I believe that the fact that the prophecies given to us by God to look for for His return are falling into place in our time means we have no choice but to accept that the rest of the Scriptures, including those passages in which He assures His bride that He will take us home before the Tribulation, are going to happen just as He says they will.
