Question
when did or when does the tribulation period start and is there going to be a pre-tribulation rapture and a mid-tribulation rapture and does this all end in 2012?

Answer
Sarah:
    Thanks for your question.  Those who hold to a literal interpretation of the Bible believe that the 7-year tribulation period will begin following the rapture of the church.  We believe in a pre-tribulation rapture.  Since the Scriptures teach that no man can know the day or the hour of the return of Christ to rapture out His Church neither can we know the exact day or date it will begin and end.
