Not Afraid of the Antichrist: Why We Don't Believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture Paperback

Not Afraid of the Antichrist: Why We Don't Believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture is a book authored by Michael L. Brown and Craig S. Keener, published in 2019. The authors, both respected Bible scholars, argue against the popular belief that Christians will be raptured before the onset of the Great Tribulation. Instead, they contend that Scripture does not promise believers an escape from tribulation but rather encourages them to expect it and endure through it.

Key Themes and Arguments

• Rejection of Pre-Tribulation Theology: Brown and Keener assert that the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture lacks biblical support. They challenge the "Left Behind" theology, which posits that Christians will be taken to heaven before the tribulation begins

.

• Biblical Promises: The authors emphasize that Jesus himself promised tribulation in this world, but also reassured believers of God's protection during difficult times, drawing parallels to how God shielded Israel during the plagues in Egypt

.

• Living in Expectation: The book encourages readers to live with hope and expectation of God's promises for a renewed world, rather than fearing tribulation or the Antichrist. It suggests that believers can find strength in their faith amidst challenges
• Historical Context: The authors explore how views on the end times have evolved throughout church history and critique dispensationalism—the theological framework that supports pre-tribulation rapture beliefs
