Prophecy Central: Alternate Viewpoints 2008

Alternate Viewpoints

(Different from the Pretribulation Viewpoint)

People with different understandings of the timing of the Rapture may still be orthodox. This issue should not be a test of fellowship between believers. You will find points of agreement and disagreement on these sites, but they are helpful to earnest students of prophecy. Remember to test everything against the whole counsel of the Word of God.

The Preterist Viewpoint

This is the theory that most of the prophecies of the New Testament, such as Jesus' Olivet Discourse and the Book of Revelation were fulfilled in the First Century.

The Pre-wrath Viewpoint

According to this theory, the Rapture of the Church will take place toward the end of the Tribulation Period, just before God pours out His vials of wrath on the Earth, leading up to the Battle of Armageddon.
