Not Wrath… But Rapture

, 1941

Overview

What is meant by the “Great Tribulation”? Will the church endure the tribulation? Is the rapture a tenable belief? Ironside contrasts the judgment of God with salvation to determine to the basis for the events of the future. He also introduces biblical prophecy and connects it to historical events, and also offers an exhaustive biblical survey of the Great Tribulation. Most importantly, Ironside explains that the Great Tribulation differs from God’s wrath or fury. Ultimately, God’s judgment and wrath—and the events of the tribulation—are overcome by salvation and love. He explains that the End Times should not lead to fear, but inspire hope.

“The term ‘the coming of the Son of Man’ never refers to that particular aspect of the second advent for which the Church as such is taught to look. When our Lord addresses Israel as in the days of His flesh, He uses this expression over and over again. In John’s Gospel, chapter 14, our Lord announces an aspect of His return which is not definitely depicted in the Synoptics. He speaks of coming to receive His own to be with Himself. This is the first clear word we have in the New Testament regarding what is commonly called the Rapture.” (Page 19)

“There is only one answer possible and that is, of course, the Holy Spirit.’” (Page 27)

“Individual apostates there may be, but complete apostasy there cannot be. But when the Church has been caught up to be with Christ, then the apostasy in all its fulness will arrive, and out of that condition of things the son of perdition will arise, ‘who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God’” (Page 26)

“we look for Him as the One who is coming to snatch us away from the wrath that is soon to fall upon this earth” (Page 22)

“The times of the Gentiles began with Nebuchadnezzar. They go on until the return of the Son of Man” (Page 18)
