Following are several arguments for the pretribulational rapture of the Church. They are my notes from J. Dwight Pentecost’s Things to Come.

1. The literal method of hermeneutics.
2. The nature of the 70th Week of Daniel.
3. The scope of the 70th Week of Daniel.
4. The purpose of the 70th Week of Daniel.
1. To keep the Church from the hour of temptation, as opposed to keeping her through it.
2. To prepare Israel for the return of their King.
5. The unity of the 70th Week of Daniel.
6. The nature of the Church.
7. The Church as a mystery.
8. The distinctions between Israel and the Church.
9. The doctrine of imminence.
10. The work of the Restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2.
11. The necessity of an interval.
12. The distinction between the rapture and the Second Coming.
13. The twenty-four elders in Revelation.
14. The problem behind 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
15. The announcement of peace and safety.
16. The relation of the Church to governments.
17. The silence concerning the Tribulation in the Epistles.
18. The message of the Two Witnesses.
19. The destiny of the Church.
20. The message to Laodicea.
21. The times of the Gentiles.
22. The sealed 144,000 from Israel.
23. The chronology of the Book of Revelation.
24. The great object of Satanic attack.
25. The apostacy of the period.
