Do you believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of the church?

A lot of people don't. And here to discuss this very important topic is our good friend Billy Cron.

Billy, welcome back to Prophecy Watch.

Hey, thanks to, thanks for let me be on again. It's been great.

We've had another session with Billy and I hope you get to watch both of them.

He's recently published a seven DVD set.

It's called The Rapture. Don't Be Deceived.

And in these seven DVDs, he has crown-packed detail after detail after detail from scripture and from

history supporting the concept of the pre-tribulation rapture of the church and I think it's great

very well done well hey thank you that's certainly the Lord and we were excited to get the

again this resource out because of

the other positions that used to be able to agreeably disagree mark maturity is to

agreeably disagree on secondary issues yet not divide and that's not what's happening

anymore and I think you know the the tongue-in-cheek title you know don't be deceived

is you know certainly don't be deceived the rapture is a real event it's, you really want to be a part of that event, which only happens if you're truly born again through Jesus Christ, number one. Number two, we certainly believe that the Bible teaches about the timing is that it's imminent. It can happen at any time and don't be deceived. You need to be prepared for the imminency of the rapture. Don't get goofy, don't, you know, get lazy and goof off, which is ironic because the other positions accused the pre-trip position of preaching laziness, but whatever. And it's just the exact opposite. But also, don't be deceived. And even if you have a different position on the rapture

you should be able to handle that with maturity I mean this is all this vehement

verb it's and it is vehement it's it's you're satanic is the stuff I'm getting

if you're a pre-tribber you're demonic you're a horrible Christian a horrible

pastor how dare you you're deceiving people and so we flip no, and you don't be deceived. We should be able to discuss these things and yet not be such a horrid witness, frankly, unfortunately, in front of the lost. Right? Yeah. You're doing this in front of the lost to another brother or sister in Christ. Which gives them an opportunity to ridicule the gospel.

Right. And so, well, no wonder nobody's getting saved, by and large, you know, in certain instances, what kind of a witness are you doing? Where's the hope in all this? Where's the comfort, as Paul says in all this? What's going on here? And so that's why we says, don't be deceived. see if we're going to deal with deal with this, let's deal with it. We did from the get-go all the way down to the bare bones. What is the

rapture? Where does it come from? What's the biblical basis for? What about the timing? Of course, again, we believe the Bible teaches pre-trib. We deal with massive amounts of evidence of that, but then we also deal with all the accusations because there's a bunch of accusations, right?

But then we flip it around.
