Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord (ie. the tribulation period) will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others , who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 1 Thes 5:1-6 The word translated "others" in the last sentence gave Todd Hampson a small rabbit trail to follow, and I believe he found yet more proof of the pre-tribulation rapture. He has a new article up that goes into quite a bit of depth and I found it quick interesting and encouraging. Here is a link and a short excerpt: http://toddhampso...
