John 14:1-3 and the Rapture (Part 4)
What is Jesus saying at John 14:2-3? What is “my Father’s house?” Where is it? When will Jesus take believers there?

We concluded this idea isn’t supported by the text and gave it a “D” rating for probability. That doesn’t mean the pre-tribulation rapture is false—it just means to “see” it in John 14:2-3 you must smuggle it in from elsewhere.
