Left Behind Theology
by Alf Cengia
The term ''left behind theology'' has been evoked to marginalize pretribulationism by non-pretribulationists. It is also used to attack dispensationalism by advocates of Covenant Theology etc. The inference is that most people who believe in the pretrib rapture have derived their theology from the popular Left Behind books.
Personally speaking, I was raised in an amillennial system. On becoming a premillennialist I defaulted to posttribulationism. After years of getting lost down New Age rabbit holes I met the concept of pretribulationism with skepticism. In fact I'm skeptical about anything new nowadays, so I had no horse in the rapture race.
Having noted the attacks on the pretribulational view and the recurring themes, I decided to check how valid these gripes were. As a result of that search I came to the conclusion that the pretribulational rapture has the best arguments going for it. Following are a few examples of these objections and some brief responses.
