Question
Dear brother in Jesus,

God says, "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times. what is still to come!...What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned that will I do!"  Isaiah 46:10a, 11b  This Bible study compares all the Scripture on each End-time topic and exposes over 12 absolute contradictions of God’s Word by dangerous and deceptive pre-trib doctrines.  The next Bible study shows the 7 Bible clues which positively reveals the identity of 666.  And finally there is a Bible study which shows how Obama may qualify to be the very deceptive False Prophet of 666.
Would greatly appreciate any comments or Bible studies you may have on the Last Days.  
Your eternal friend in Jesus, 
Richard  

Answer
Blessings and thank you for your question.  I am sorry this is late.  I have been out sick for several days.  

I can't comment on the Bible Studies you are refering to.  I would need references so I can read them myself before I comment on them.

However,  if you believe in the pre-tribulation theory, then the rapture would be the first event of the tribulation and the next true event for end time scenarios.  I do not believe in a pre-tribulation argument.   There are many signs that go along with the tribulation and the end days.  I see that the biggest event would be the 7 year peace treaty with Israel that would most likely come after another war where many nations of the earth attack and are defeated by Israel.  

Here are some studies I have done:
