“But both posttribulationists and pretribulationists need to recognize that to find the rapture of church saints in Matt 24:36–44 does not require that the church will go through the tribulation or that the rest of the Discourse (e.g., Matt 24:4–28) describes the experience of the church.” (Volume 21, Number 41, Page 60)
“If the one ‘taken’ is taken away for judgment, it is peculiar that a word characterized by personal accompaniment is employed while the one ‘left’ to enter the kingdom is described with a word frequently used for the forsaken.” (Volume 21, Number 41, Page 47)
“While the Second Coming of Christ is preceded by numerous signs (vv 4–28) and follows a specific timetable of seven years, the day of the Lord and the pretribulational rapture that conjoins it are completely imminent.” (Volume 21, Number 40, Page 46)
“The emphasis in the words of Jesus does not fall upon a normal condition of life, but upon the unexpected suddenness of His advent to those who will be engaged otherwise than in watching for Him.’” (Volume 21, Number 40, Page 49)
“Imminence appears to be a common accompaniment to the use of grēgoreō.” (Volume 21, Number 41, Page 56)
