Dr. Charles Cooper, Director of Pre-Wrath Resource Institute, will provide the biblical support for the Dispensational Pre-Wrath View. Steve Gregg, author of the commentary "Revelation : Four Views: A Parallel Commentary" and Host of The Narrow Path radio program, will provide a biblical perspective on the A-millennial Partial Preterist View, and Thomas Ice will provide a biblical perspective for the Dispensational Pre-Tribulation View.

1. Daniel's 70 weeks

Corrie ten Boom on the Tribulation and the Rapture

"CORRIE TEN BOOM COMMENTS ON THE TRIBULATION AND ON A RAPTURE VIEW WHICH IS POPULAR TODAY. SHE EXHORTS US TO PREPARE OURSELVES SPIRITUALLY IN CHRIST AND IN THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE COMING TRIALS OF OUR FAITH. SHE TELLS OF THE CHINESE CHURCH'S BEING UNWARNED AND ILL-PREPARED FOR PERSECUTIONS THAT BEGAN IN 1949 UNDER MAO TSE TUNG'S RED GUARDS.

MANY OF TODAY'S POPULAR PROPHECY TEACHERS ARE SIMILARLY FAILING TO PREPARE COMFORTABLE WESTERN CHRISTIANS TO TAKE UP THEIR CROSSES AND TO WITNESS AS OVERCOMERS IN THE COMING TRIBULATION."

"[Click here for] more sad proof that libertarian Joe Farah's Worldnet Daily is rapidly becoming the National Enquirer of conservative/evangelical news websites. Farah himself endorses this video which will tell the viewer the date when Jesus is coming back..." - Kim Riddlebarger
