This page contains feedback that has been left regarding this site. Because of the controversy surrounding the prewrath position, we understand that some will not want their full names used (it is strange that this situation should occur within the fellowship of believers, but brothers and sisters in Christ are actually experiencing persecution, including fear of losing their jobs, for publicly embracing the prewrath position). We want to create a forum for discussion while maintaining your privacy. Unless you specify otherwise, all comments will be printed with first names only.

I received my book today. It is excellent. I have already read 75 pages, and I can't put it down. Thanks again, and God bless.

Andrew

Thanks for the prewrath info. It seem so obvious when viewed in the light of all scripture. The other views only seem to make sense in pieces. Prewrath makes sense with the whole of scripture.

Your newsletter is going to our old email address which is [removed.  Please change to our new email address [removed] so I won't miss any issues! THANK YOU! I enjoy and appreciate your newsletters. I am convinced that the prewrath rapture view is correct, but it's not easy to change the long-held views of people in my congregation. I am trying, little by little to open people's minds to what the Scripture says about the end times.

Thanks for your work. It's nice to receive encouragement from like-minded people.

Thanks, Mark. And if any other readers would like to sign up for our monthly newsletters, with prewrath happenings as we see them, just send us an email to strongtowerpubs@aol.com, with "Add Newsletter" in the subject line.

Thanks for your great website!  I'm coming out of the pre-trib rapture fog that I was raised in and my church is totally immersed in.  I'm seeing I've been confused my whole life about passages in scripture such as 2 Thessalonians 2.  When you're in a high school youth group and you're told that what the Bible says is not really what it means, it's pretty confusing! 

I now teach at a small Christian school that has some of the hardest and most rebelious kids I've ever seen—and they all believe in the pre-trib rapture! This is going to be my last year teaching. Every day, I feel like I'm entering a battle zone when I go to the school.  

I'm praying that the Lord will lead my husband and I to a church where the Bible is honored and no man's teaching is placed in importance right along side the Bible. I do not want to bring division. I'm honestly afraid for the very sincere people who see even questioning the truth of the pre-trib rapture as (at best) being very liberal.  What an irony that things could be so twisted!

I really appreciate the site and will be visiting often — Nancy, Cranesville, PA

You are so welcome. It's really neat to hear stories like yours. It makes all the effort worth it! You might want to visit our discussion group, as well. It's called Prewrath Only, and it's a wonderful place for fellowship, discussion, and encouragement. URL is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/prewrathonly/. 

As for churches, we get this quite a bit. Most evangelical churches, especially Pentecostal churches, have pretrib as part of their doctrinal statements. This does make it difficult. But there are some denominations, such as Evangelical Free, Baptist, Nazarene, and Free Methodist, among others, that do not have pretrib as part of their doctrine, and these churches allow a wide variety of different views. You may want to plug into the discussion group and ask for other recommendations. Strong Tower Publishing will also be keeping a running list of churches teaching or openly supporting prewrath on its Other Prewrath Resources page.
 

Dear folks, I have written to you previously and fully support the timing of the rapture as presented by H. L. Nigro. As an added thought, did you know that:

The words "moon" and "blood" in the same sentence occur only three times in Scripture. The first time is in Joel 2:31 and that specific reference is described by the author as the DAY OF THE LORD. The second time is in Act 2:20 and that specific reference is described by the author as the DAY OF THE LORD. The third time is in Revelation 6:12 and that specific reference is NOT described but the attendent verses and wording allow no mistake but that the author is describing THE DAY OF THE LORD. How beautifully our Lord uses the language of Scripture to unfold His ways. — Joseph

Last winter, I was on my way to work listening to Word-FM as Dave Baker was interviewing H. L. Nigro on the morning show. I really enjoyed the program and had been meaning to buy her book, Before God's Wrath, but have been preoccupied with other issues needing my attention. Now that end-times prophecy appears to be unraveling before our eyes regarding current world events [written in relation to the September 11, 2001 disaster], I feel the time is ripe for me to purchase a copy of H. L.'s book. Thank you and may God richly bless you for your boldness in speaking the truth in love. — Shelley

I am a Christian who has been discouraged with the pretrib teaching for some time now. I am a member of a church that professes that belief and I teach the adult Sunday school class in that church. I stay away from eschatological issues, mainly because to question the pretrib rapture is to question what my brothers and sisters think is a distinctive of orthodoxy.

I have been flirting with an amil view, until I read Nathaniel West's The Thousand Year Reign of Christ, which has convinced me of a real millennium. I have also read Gundry and others. I am now reading your book. It is quite good and it almost has me convinced that the prewrath view is most correct. However, I still have some problems with dispensational interpretations in general and lean toward an historic premil position.

I just want to compliment you on how clear you present your message and how well you back up what you say with scripture. Whether I am in prewrath camp or posttrib is of little consequence, but the pretrib view is wrong. I saw that when first introduced to it. It just isn't there‹not in the texts that the pretribbers use to show it. I wanted so much to believe that position, but I couldn't buy it. (I would rather believe what the majority of people in my church believe, but I have nothing to stand on.) I even joined the Conservative Theological Society and read all that I could on the pretrib rapture. I couldn't see it. It just isn't there. So I gave up. I decided to go with my reading of the scripture and came up with a post trib rapture, and now I am refining that. Some day this information may be useful to other believers, especially if we see the signs listed in Mat. 24 . — Bob

 We totally enjoyed the book because it provides a look at the pre-wrath position from a woman's perspective. It also differs from the writings of Rosenthal and Van Kampen and thus gives a further basis for discussion. — Ronald

Keep up the good work! God bless. Thanks for your web site. When I found out you were a woman, I was pleased. I have believed the prewrath position for many years now, but the men whom I have talked to about it dismissed me as irrelevant. I am a housewife, not a theologian. When did pastors and Bible teachers forget that the Holy Spirit is our teacher for all true believers? Anyway, God has always encouraged me to continue my studies, no matter who listens. My husband and I have just moved to the Dallas/Ft Worth area and I have been accepted to Dallas Theological Seminary. They already know my pre-wrath view since I had to address it because of their pre-trib view. I was a bit surprised they accepted me, but I am willing to be a light to this Christian environment with the truth of the end-times. Keep strong in the Lord. — Jean DeLisle

Sounds like you wrote my introduction, Jean! Best of luck at Dallas Theological! — H. L.

I'm so glad that there are more and more people like you coming forward to speak the truth about what the Bible says about the end-times. If people would only believe what is so plainly said in the Bible, there would be no need for books explaining the end times! But I do pray a blessing for you and your book, and I pray it gets into the hands of those who love the truth more than their own comfort and security. As it says so wonderfully in the book of Revelation: "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death" (Rev. 12:11 NIV). The LORD is preparing His church for the coming persecution. We can plainly see it in China, the Sudan, Indonesia, the Middle East, and various other places.... It will only get worse. But God will have a pure and spotless bride for His Son. Nothing less will do. And as the Bible states so clearly in so many ways, God's refining process does involve fire.... Don't stop writing! I imagine there are other things that you have in store for a church that is starving from malnutrition due to too much junk food. It is time that the main course is served to God's people. No more twinkies. It's time to roast the fatted calf! God told His disciples to feed His sheep. Blessing to those who feed them the pure truth of God's Word! God has called you to feed His sheep, as well. From what I can tell, you are doing a fine job! May the Lord bless you greatly! — Ron

You are telling the truth . Great to see it in the Church of today. Many things we have been taught concerning the end times are not correct. The Rapture is just one of them. — D. C. Bray

I just love this website. Your [evangelism] stories are so encouraging to me to look for opportunities to witness. I can honestly say that I have not been a witnessing sort of person, but want desperately to be. I have spent way too much time reading these stories and need to get back to my family, but I just had to let you know how wonderful they are. You are an inspiration to a 30 yr old housewife in Texas! — Anna

Never have I came across a site so informative about the end times. As many times as I have read Revelation I still learned a few things from your site. As the time of the end grows near I am trying to ready myself so that I am able to ready others. I am a sinner, probably one of the worst sinners there is. However with every truth from the Holy Book and sites like yours I take one step closer to truly knowing God and being able to lead others to Him. I will be visiting your site often. Also I am starting my own site and would like to link to your site as soon as I upload it and would like for your site to maybe link mine. Only with your permission though. Thanks again for the knowledge. — Benjamin

Thank you for checking my web site. I truly enjoyed yours. Especially the pre-trib test. I wish I could get some people I know to take that test.— Steven

I have just finished reading the above book by Mrs. Nigro. Excellent read. I have been a follower of Marv Rosenthal's ministry for 10 years and have met with him once. I have diligently studied prophecy for 20 years and am a staunch believer in the pre-wrath view. I have published a newsletter called "VisionWatch" for seven years dealing with a variety of end-time issues. I would like to call your attention to one in particular. It has been a burden on my heart for my fellow believers that they do not fully comprehend the danger that they will be in during the 70th week. I speak specifically of the possibility of their "denying the Lord" either through word or capitulating to the Antichrist through their taking the mark. I firmly believe that their eternal salvation is at stake. I wrote an extensive article on this subject years ago including some 15 verses in the New Testament that support this doctrine. I would exhort you to prayerfully study this subject and see where the Lord leads. If I can be of any help, please let me know. The verses are as follows: Col 1:21-23; 1 Tim 1:19,20; 2 Peter 2:20-21; 1 Tim 4:16; 2 John 7-9; 2 Tim 2:12; Matt 10:33; Heb 3:6,14; Heb 10:38,39; James 5:19,20; Heb 6:4-6; Luke 8:13; 1 Tim 4:1; Matt 24:13; Rom 11:16-25; Rev 14:9-11. — Joseph

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent web site. I am currently working on an expository and devotional commentary on the Book of Revelation from the pre-wrath perspective. The commentary is not a detailed explanation of the position, but uses the prewrath view as the schematic for its development. I'm glad that others such as yourself have taken up the banner and published on this important subject. — Dave, Rochester, NY

Cool website! — Michelle, Ephrata, PA

Thank you for having courage to publish a book that is most needed, and will probably NOT be welcome in all camps that call themselves Christian. — James Harris, Union, NJ

Wow! I've just taken a look at your web site. I'm so impressed. And so thankful that the Lord has rescued you and will use your amazing talents and gifts for his glory. — Betsy, Athens, OH

I believe the pre-wrath postion. I was pretty firmly pre-trib until I read The Sign and our pastor did a teaching on the topic. One question I have though: how is it that the Philadelphian Church can be expected to be spared the worst of the Tribulation? Isn't that just pre-trib lite? Also, I think that once Anti-Christ signs his treaty with Israel, that most of Christianity will recognize their mistake and abandon the pre-trib position. I can't see them following the Seal Judgements and still expecting a rescuing Rapture. — David, Baltimore, MD

Wrong!!! — name and address withheld

I came across a page that discussed your book and had comments by Marv Rosenthal, who I respect greatly. Since Marv liked your book and endorsed it, I figured it'd be a worthwhile read... :-) I do really like the PreTrib test. It's quite well done. — Charles, Charlotte, NC
