In this expository study of Revelation 6, Baruch Korman presents the arguments for a PreWrath Rapture. Revelation 6 reveals that the seals represent persecution and the activity of the enemy, not divine judgment, whereas the seven trumpet and seven bowl judgements are clearly God’s judgements. Korman emphasizes the believer’s calling to endure and remain faithful during the tribulation, even great tribulation. God allows this time to refine His church. We need to trust in God’s redemptive plan in the last days.

Marvin (Marv) Rosenthal was the main populariser of the PreWrath Rapture. Formerly with Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, he published the seminal book The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church in 1990 (Thomas Nelson), which brought the view to a wide audience. He also produced the periodical Zion’s Fire and founded Zion’s Hope. His son, David Rosenthal, continues promoting it through teachings and videos.

More recently, both Nelson Walters (in videos like those on the exact start of God’s wrath and the seal/trumpet/bowl sequence) and Baruch Korman (in his end-times teachings) emphasize the distinction between tribulation and God’s wrath. Korman, teaching from the Hebrew/Greek context, stresses that the Great Tribulation is persecution (not divine wrath), with the rapture occurring before the Day of the Lord judgments begin.
