In the Old Testament, Israel is repeatedly referred to as the wife of God. In the New Testament, the church is identified with the bride of Christ. A frequent listener to Pinnacle Baptist asks in this week's Q&A, if the rapture of the church is pretrib instead of post-trib, why would God make Israel go through the Tribulation but not the church? It's a very thoughtful and intensely important question. Is it a contradiction to believe in a pretrib rapture when God says that Israel is going to have to go through the Tribulation? In the answer, Pastor Ray McBerry not only provides the answer but uses it as an opportunity to teach several important truths from both the Old and New Testament and show how they relate. Even if you think you know the answer, you might be surprised at what you learn!
