See you in Second Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3.

We're going to do a brief update on my research in pre-tribulation rapture passages in the early

church fathers. Tommy particularly asked for this, and I thought, you know what, this is a really

good idea. So, so let's get started on these patristic passages. And some of the highlights, you can

see up here that I've come across in the last

last year I found six more pre-tribulation rapture passages in the writing of Eusebius that were unknown

prior to that to the pre-tribulation prem pre-millennial students and scholars.

Now, if you don't know who Eusebius was, he was a church father in the 4th century.

He was a well-known scholar.

He was a millennial, and he followed the allegorical method.

We're going to examine two of his passages that we did not look at last year.

And Eusebius is very unique because he's another classic example that there were early church

fathers that were all millennial and pre-tribulational.

And I just want to put in a plug for this.

If any of you guys out there are working on a PhD or thinking of going on a PhD project,

consider taking up the fact that there were early church fathers that were

all-millennial and pre-tribulational. You would be doing a dissertation on a subject that's

brand new uncharted territory.

Now, I also found a potential resolution to what I call the Ironaeus conundrum.

Some people look at parent pre-tribulation rapture passages in Ironaeus, and they think that Ironaeus was pre-tribulational, and others say, nope,

in 526-1, he's got a post-trib passage, so he's probably post-tribb.

And I've discovered material in reading through Ironaus, both in the Greek and in the English,
