A few years ago I wrote an article about salvation in the tribulation in the Pre-Trib Perspectives (Vol. IV, No. 2; May 1999) I want to revisit this question in order to deal with some additional aspects of this issue I want to deal with the belief that one who has heard the Gospel and rejects it before the Rapture will thus be unable to be saved in the Tribulation I am in strong disagreement with this view...

It is impossible for an imminent event to have signs. If signs are related to an event then it would indicate that it was near or not near, and thus could not happen until after the signs were present. Thus, signs would have to precede the event, ...
