Episode 423 – The Easiest Solution to the Rapture Question

2 THESSALONIANS

Drawing from First & Second Thessalonians, Steve Wood provides a solution to the Rapture Question. He argues that the Rapture is not a separate event but rather a part of the Second Coming.

He challenges the inconsistency between the Rapture Theory and Paul's epistles, emphasizing the importance of discernment during the end times.
