The Rapture: What Is It and When Will It Happen?
About this episode
Dr. Alan Hultberg joins Sean McDowell to discuss the Rapture, its biblical basis, and the major evangelical views surrounding it.
Talbot New Testament scholar Dr. Alan Hultberg joins Sean McDowell to sort out what Scripture says, walk through the three major views, and ask the question everyone wants answered: are we close? Hultberg starts by clearing away the "Left Behind" imagery most of us absorbed from movies and kids' Bible storybooks, then lays out the three positions evangelicals actually debate explaining what separates them, how each handles the tribulation, Israel, and the timing of Christ's return.
