The Secret Rapture: Is It Scriptural?

Explains why men like Oswald J. Smith would say: "There is not a single verse in the Bible that upholds the pre-tribulation theory." Based on part one of GREAT PROPHECIES OF THE BIBLE by Ralph Woodrow this 64-page book (available in this form for wider distribution) shows that the now-popular "secret" rapture was not taught in the early centuries of the church but developed within the last two centuries. All Christians generally believe that Christ will come again and believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. But as to the TIME of this event (in relation to other events) there is not this general agreement. De Haan says that believers will be caught "up into heaven" before the tribulation period and that this "is the teaching of Revelation and of the entire Bible." On the other hand many believe the same as Oswald J. Smith who said there is no Scripture for the secret rapture theory.
