I’m Marc LaClear, the author of Pre-Trib Truth. I write from a pre-tribulational, premillennial, futurist perspective: Christ will gather His church before the Tribulation, and the promises of His return, bodily resurrection, and kingdom remain future.

This site is for Christians who want to examine that position rather than simply inherit it. I work through the passages used to support it and the objections that challenge it. Scripture is the authority for the argument; agreement with me is not a test of a reader’s faith.

Where to begin

If the terminology is unfamiliar, start with what the pre-tribulation rapture means. The full biblical case connects the main passages. Common Objections takes up questions about Matthew 24, the last trumpet, imminence, and other disputed texts.

No prediction calendar

I do not set dates for the rapture or identify today’s wars and political leaders as certain fulfillments of prophecy. The prophecy study guide explains how to test those claims without losing sight of Christian hope.

If an argument or reference needs correction, send me the passage and your reasoning. Disagreement is welcome.
