Hello, I'm Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers, and today's guest is going to talk about my favorite subject is the rapture of the church.

And we have Pastor Billy Krohn with us once again.

Billy, it's good to have you back.

Hey, Gary, it's always great to be on.

Thanks for having me.

Our favorite subject.

Yep.

And you have written a book suitably called and titled The Rapture.

And underneath a little subtitle it says, don't be deceived.

Well, let's just take off and let's talk about the

raptor. My favorite subject. Oh, there's lots to talk about. And it really should be exciting.

Unfortunately, the reason why we have the tagline there, don't be deceived, it's for a couple

different reasons. One is people are being deceived because the rapture is the next big prophetic

event on God's in-time calendar. It's something that's called the

blessed hope. It's something that we should long for his appearing. The other deception, I would

say, is those that even believe in the rapture, Gary, there's different positions, right? And

that's okay. The rapture, by and large, is what's called a secondary issue. It's not a salvific

issue in that your position on the

rapture doesn't determine your salvation. Unfortunately today, in the past, you could be able to,

you know, okay, you've got basically four big positions. You've got the pre-trib position that the

church leaves prior to the seven-year tribulation, which is what we hold to and what we believe

the scripture is clearly teaching. But then you have those that put the church in the seven-year tribulation and they leave at the midway point or the mid-trib. Then you have what's called the pre-rath position and that's basically three-quarters of the way through then you get raptured out. And then, of course, post-tribb that you're going through all the seven-year tribulation they say and then you get raptured up real quick and come right back down.
