Q: Rapture timing — pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib? Mike isn't settled. Pre-trib arguments: God hasn't appointed us to wrath (1 Thess), John caught up in Rev 4 pictures the church. Post-trib argument: only one more coming of Jesus (first and second), no secret third appearance. Mid-trib/pre-wrath: Great Tribulation starts halfway through the 7-year period.

Pre-trib: 1 Thessalonians says God hasn't appointed us to wrath; Rev 4 John caught up = church raptured before judgments. Post-trib: only two comings total; rapture at second coming, caught up to meet Jesus on his way back. Pre-wrath/mid-trib: rapture before the Great Tribulation (second half of 7 years). Mike is unsettled and plans a future in-depth study.
