Q&A: Believers not appointed to wrath — pre-trib rapture argument from 1 Thessalonians

Why God's Wrath is Good 00:41:43 – 00:42:46

Viewer raises the classic pre-trib rapture argument from 1 Thessalonians.

1 Thessalonians teaches that believers are 'not appointed to wrath,' which is one argument for a pre-tribulation rapture — that believers will be removed before God's end-times wrath falls. Mike notes that mid-trib arguments can also use this verse. He holds a traditionally pre-trib position but counsels humility about prophetic interpretation, acknowledging ministers make their biggest mistakes in over-confident end-times speculation.

@AsherJacob23060 @AlistairMerrym1 Mt 18:15–17 is plainly about a present process of confronting a sinning brother in the church, not end-time events. What in the chapter itself signals a shift to eschatology? The parable (18:21–35) reinforces presen...
