About this listen

Did the early Church expect to escape the final persecution—or to endure it?

For more than a century, modern pre-tribulation rapture theology has promised believers a “Great Escape” from the rise of the Antichrist and the final tribulation. Yet this teaching did not originate with Jesus, the apostles, or the early Church.

In The Great Escape Delusion, Bible teacher Glenn Langohr examines this doctrine in light of Scripture and the unified witness of early Christian writers. Drawing from Jesus’ own teachings, the apostolic order set forth by Paul, and the writings of persecuted early believers, this book demonstrates that the Church expected to face tribulation—not evade it.

This study exposes modern misquotations, challenges “any-moment” rapture claims, and shows why endurance, obedience, and faithfulness were understood as essential to salvation and future reign with Christ.

The early Church did not ask, “Will we escape?”

They asked, “Will we endure?”
