After studying the Scriptures which prove the imminence of Christ's coming, it becomes evident that the saints must be called out of the world before the great tribulation. In order that the rapture may be the great surprise which is foretold in the Scripture, then the rapture of the saints must be the next event prophesied in the Bible. It must come before the battle of Armageddon, come before the reign of the man of sin, or the great tribulation time. The thing that every Christian should watch for next is not the appearing of the Antichrist, not the restoration of the Roman Empire, not the mark of the Beast, not the great tribulation, not the last great war and the battle of Armageddon, and not the reign of Christ at Jerusalem; but the coming of Christ for His saints. - John R.
