   Interesting... I hadn't heard about that verse before. There are other old   
   and new testament versus that support the pre-trib rapture, and much of that   
   is disclosed here.. Its a compilation of most of the evidence I'm aware of.   
   Interesting read.

   and some info on distinguishing rapture versus from Christ's physical return   
   as well.
