Ephesians is a “Prison Epistle,” along with Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon (see Eph 3:1, Eph 4:1, and Eph 6:20). Written by Paul from Rome, the epistle expands on themes in Colossians, much as Romans does to Galatians. Whereas Colossians develops the all-sufficiency of Christ to the Church, Ephesians shows the blessings of that “fullness” enjoyed by the members of God’s family. The idea of unity resulting from reconciliation runs strong through the book (Eph 1:9-10; Eph 2:16-18; Eph 3:4-6; Eph 4:3-6; Eph 5:30-32; Eph 6:18-20). It is possible that the epistle was actually a circular letter to the churches of Asia. Paul’s goal is to inform the saints of their privileged status and exhort them to live in a way worthy of their standing.

Scriptural Proof of the Pre-tribulation Rapture
Many people are not able to distinguish between the Rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Tragically many pastors are not able to distinguish between the prophecies that relate to the second coming and the prophecies that relate to His return for His church. Many people don't even know that there is a distinction between those two things. And so, we're going to look at that and we look at the tribulation and we look at the anguish, the sorrow, the suffering, the misery. Do we have to go through all that? That's why I want to cover what I would like to cover.
