This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God tells us not to be deceived about the timing of us being caught up to meet Jesus in the air, an event Christians refer to as the rapture. He would not have said that unless there was going to be an avalanche of false teaching with regard to the timing of the rapture in the sequence of end-time events. Diligently studying pertinent Scriptures in God's Word is the only way one can be free of deception and be spiritually prepared for the times that may befall us. This book helps the reader to deeply study the Word of God to see the truth. "I've read a large number of books on the rapture debate, and in my opinion, this excellent book is by far the best. While reading this book I felt like my spiritual glasses were being cleaned so I could see the simplicity of the truth of scripture again. Well done, Colleen. Marvelous! Five gold stars from me." "I have read several books about the rapture and end-time prophecy including Pre-Tribulation and Mid-Tribulation, and when I come across this book, it was so clear, logical, and well-written based solely on the scripture that I could grasp the subject clearly and convincingly which has helped me tremendously in making up my mind where to stand on the subject of the timing of the rapture at the end time. Really recommended."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Fiction... or Biblical Fact? Today, the hope that all believers on earth will be "caught up" to heaven is being challenged in new waves of criticism. Is the rapture really taught in the Bible? Can we really expect Jesus to gather up His followers before the Antichrist is revealed? In this well-reasoned and thorough defense, prophecy authors Mark Hitchcock and Ed Hindson examine the concept, context, and consequences of the important and long-expected event known as the rapture. Discover the answers to such questions as... What is the rapture—and is there any historical precedent for it? Why do some believers object to the idea of a rapture? Does the timing of the rapture really make a difference? As you explore what Scripture says about the end times, you'll get a grander glimpse of your glorious future and the deepest hope of every follower of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.

Book excerpt: The Year of the Rapture, a trilogy of fantasy, fiction and fact is . . . UNIQUE ! The fantasy section of "The Year of the Rapture," begins as the author takes an imaginary journey into heaven via a dream as a boy of eight. While there he morphs into an adult and finds himself viewing a strange scene on earth. Though curiosity and creativity are rampant throughout, the integrity of the scripture is maintained. COMPELLING ! The fiction portion of The Year of the Rapture reveals a town full of young adults, (headies) seeking a secular experience to satisfy their search for reality. Their reverie is hijacked by a few Christians whose reality wins! The story builds and explodes with three shocking events that lead to a dynamic conclusion, leaving the reader astonished and incredulous. INSIGHTFUL ! Fact, "The future is now," is a popular twenty first century phrase and could be a Biblical reality anytime. "Perhaps today," is another statement regarding the imminent return of the Lord Jesus. Being ready for that occasion is urged by God in scripture. Therefore, regarding the Rapture, a constant NOW is presented in the Bible and by the author. Dave Allan has had an inveterate career of ministry experience. His credentials as a director includes three organizations, seven youth enterprises, multiple church ministries, numerous missionary junkets abroad and two Christian college positions. He is a speaker, author, strategist, instigator, organizer and practical Biblicist. Special thanks to Val Lanade for his imagination, creativity and inspiration. His personality is transparent and his enthusiasm is infectious.

Book excerpt: Unfortunately, most of our modern day teachings on this most important doctrine are misleading, to say the very least. Bill Vincent has studied for years and now is releasing his findings in this book, The Rapture. A careful scrutiny of the Scriptures will reveal the truth about the second coming of Christ, which we generally refer to as "the rapture". In The Rapture, he has set out to correct the most obvious errors of the pre-tribulation doctrine and to establish the basic foundation for understanding the truth of the matter. Great care is taken to follow the guidelines of Scripture and the Biblical basis of doctrinal interpretation, precept upon precept and line upon line. This is the only method of interpretation used in the pages of The Rapture. Since God Himself revealed His method of understanding doctrine, it is believed by the author to be the best method to use. Therefore, with Bible in hand, follow along with the Scriptures quoted and see if you don't find truth within its pages. In The Rapture, Bill answers questions that many do not know the answers to. Be open and allow this page turner to open up the biggest controversial subject of the rapture of Jesus Christ. If you are a lover of truth, you will enjoy this very basic presentation of Biblical facts concerning the doctrine of the "gathering together" of Christ's saints unto Himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On my search for finding the meaning of life, I made the most amazing discovery, which is what this book is all about. I discovered how to remember who we truly are and how to reconnect to God, Creator of all that is, the source of all life. Life is a journey. As we travel along the road, discovering life, we realize that there is no road map for life, just a moment-by-moment discovery of selfdiscovering who we are and, more excitingly, who we want to be or become. This book has taken me over ten years to write since I had a powerful, prophetic dream in August 2005. I have been on a personal journey of discovery and of immense growth since then, resulting in all the beliefs that I had since a young girl to be turned upside down. If anybody had told me what I know today ten years ago, I would have argued with them and told them that they were being misled and would have considered it heresy. An age-old parable talks about an old beggar who was sitting on a box at the side of the road. When a stranger came walking past, the beggar asked the stranger for some spare cash. The stranger replied that he had no money to give him but then asked the beggar what was inside the box that he was sitting on. The beggar replied that it was an old box that he had been sitting on for as long as he could remember and that he had never looked inside as it was surely empty. The stranger encouraged him to open the box and to look inside, which the beggar duly did, only to find that the box was filled with gold. All these years, this beggar has been begging for money and eating scraps of food or any morsel that he could find, while if he had only looked inside, he would have realized that he was extremely wealthy. The first few chapters of this book are written with an extremely religious tone due to the fact that I was writing from my belief at that time. However, this is not a religious book. You will notice how my beliefs change as the book unfolds. This book has been written from my belief, which I believe God revealed to me through many hours of studying the Bible, praying, and listening to the still small voice within. I had many hours of quiet time with God. I am sharing information with you that I have gathered on my personal journey, but what you do with this information is up to you, as you always have a choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ himself warns us to not to believe a secret rapture. Rapture will happen only after Israel becomes a Christian nation. Two olive trees and two lampstands, representatives of the church during tribulation. The church knows the times of his coming back. It’s not anti-Christ being withheld. Noah and Lot’s days, an evidence for public coming. The Day of the Lord will come as a thief even after the so-called secret rapture. Resurrection of the people of God and the end of the world will happen on the same day. The Second Advent accompanied by loud command, the voice, and the trumpet of God, and resurrection occurs at the same moment is a solid prove for the public coming. For the church, rapture day is not an immediate surprising day. Meaning of nobody knows the day or the hour. Meaning of the idiom of carcass and the vultures. The Day of the Lord is the day Paul awaits for the crown of righteousness. An immediate cosmic change occurs at the rapture. Rapture will be a visual event. Rapture will happen on the last day of human history. The second raw resurrection happens at the end of the tribulation. Our gathering unto him in the air will happen only after the man of lawlessness appear. The wedding of the Lamb occurs after tribulation. Surprising invitees. The earth, venue for the marriage supper of the Lamb - Such truths are being discussed in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book offering Balthasar’s theological oeuvre as a kerygma of Christ’s love proclaimed theologically as Christ’s esthetics of glory in his mission to reinvent himself, the world and us as beauty and glory. Balthasar’s hypothesis is that there is true theology and there is false theology. For him, theology is the unique science across the methods of which the decision of faith cuts, and divides it into two halves that cannot be united to each other: a genuine theology, which presupposes faith and does its thinking within the nexus of Christ and the Church; and a false theology, which rejects faith as methodologically dubious and irresponsible, and subsumes the truth of the phenomenon which discloses itself, under an anthropological truth (however this may be understood). In William Newell’s book he deeply reflects on the radical thinking being done in Catholic theology since the 1940s in Europe and now in the United States. Each chapter, each excursus, each elision, ushers the reader towards consolations without previous causes, the essence of mysticism in its first stages. The book, as with true theology, is a ‘come and see’ beckoning the reader to an endless furtherance of the archetypal experience of Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord shall descend from heaven with the voice of the archangel. The angel that I saw may be Michael. Michael and Gabriel are the only archangels that are mentioned in the Bible. Michael appears to have a key role in the end-time plan of God. Therefore, it may be a strong guess that Michael is the angel that I saw and communicated with about the Rapture. I also have a special message for gang members, drug abusers, adults, teenagers, and the youth. I wrote my visions down for you to know what is out there waiting for you on the other side of the veil. I peeped over and saw some things that were good and witnessed a horror that was beyond my wildest dreams. Most of you have not read the Bible, and a number of you who have, act as though you have forgotten what is in it. I often encounter people, old and young, who say that they cant understand the Bible. Therefore, I use a number of verses that are taken directly from the Bible to support the visions that I have seen. I am doing this purposely to acquaint you with a book that you all know but very seldom pick up to read. Hopefully, it will be a reminder that the Bible is inclusive of everything from the beginning of time to the end. Most of these Bible verses are self-explanatory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the current pandemic a warning sign from God the Rapture is imminent? This pandemic has altered our lifestyles. Potentially 80 to 100,000 could die in the U.S. in 2020. Over 22 million people have lost their jobs. The stock market has lost trillions of dollars. Fear, anxiety, and depression inflict millions of people. Feelings of hopelessness abound. This pandemic is the beginning of major warning signs from God. He will deliver additional warning signs before the Rapture. Then in a single moment, all believers and the dead in Christ will vanish into the air to be with Jesus. Non-believers will be left behind to experience horrible plagues during the following seven years of the Tribulation. This book presents a historical study of God's master plan and His timeline for the redemption of humanity. The Covenants of God provide insight to understand His master plan. It identifies the major covenants throughout history as paradigm shifts. By highlighting these shifts, you can easily understand God's master plan and why He periodically unveils new portions of it. The seven Levitical Feasts of Israel play a critical role in the coming of the Messiah. We discuss them. The master plan, the covenants, the feasts reveal the timeline for the next paradigm shift - The Rapture! We are near the end of God's timeline. Convergence of these factors reveal a highly probable date for the Rapture. We will analyze alternative dates. This book differs from most books on the Rapture since the major focus is not on interpreting scriptures in Daniel and other prophetic books in the Bible. It is a study of the history of God's plans for the redemption of humanity. The Rapture is next. Read the book and find out the date.

Book excerpt: The end of times is a topic that always attracts the attention of the Lord’s congregation since the beginning, because in the last days, the believers will be raised into the clouds to meet the Lord. However, Lord Jesus also stated that in the last days, there will be a severe persecution. That is why they need to prepare themselves to face this severe persecution. In this first part of the book, the authors present very basic things that should be known by Christians, namely, things relating to the end times which include: Signs and marks 666 which must not be accepted by Christians. This section explains the link between "Biochip" and 666 and the reasons and verses that explain why God's children may not accept chip666. What are the consequences for a child of God who receives Chip666 and what is the fate of a child of God who refuses to accept it. The importance of knowing the last world ruler, because from this kingdom will emerge ten kings and antichrists. There are four main end times figures, namely Satan, ten kings, antichrist and false prophets. The Bible clearly explains these four figures so we can interpret these figures today. Rapture: what and when. The rapture will occur after the time of tribulation but before the vials of God's wrath. This means that God's children will experience persecution. The difference between the tribulation period and God’s wrath period. Tribulation period: when it starts and ends. The events that occurred related to the opening of each seal of the seven seals in the Book of Revelation. Emergence and duties of “two witnesses of God.” When the appearance of two witnesses of God and what are their duties. Christian preparations and attitudes in the end times. Because at the end times all of God's children will experience persecution, so much preparation must be done. Where the preparation is not only related to the physical but primarily spiritual preparation that requires time and sincerity. In addition, at the end of this book, the estimated “The Book of Revelation in a New Structure” is included. Many Christians have difficulty understanding the contents of the Book of Revelation. This happened, for one thing, because the contents and events in the Book of Revelation were not sequential from beginning to end, there are several events that were repeated in other sections, because the Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation from two visions, where some of the two visions are related to the same things. If all the same events are put together so that the contents of the Book of Revelation are sequential in time from beginning to end, then the Book of Revelation becomes easy to understand and even the meaning of the seven seals is easier to understand, without needing to be interpreted, because the meaning of the first to the third seal is found in another chapter of the Book of Revelation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is astonished by the resurrection of the brilliant Antichrist, the murdered tyrant who ruled the global community with an iron fist. Now empowered by Lucifer, once the guardian of God’s throne, the vengeful dictator and his miracle-working prophet begin the systematic destruction of their enemies. In this chaotic maelstrom, the God-fearers bravely refuse to give allegiance to a new world order that is diametrically opposed to their beliefs. The ageless battle for the hearts and souls of mankind is waged in every nation on earth, and a multitude of God-fearers are punished for their mutinous stand by imprisonment, torture, and death. Cosmic disturbance dramatically announces the coming day of the Lord. Suddenly, millions vanish in the twinkling of an eye, prompting the Antichrist to boast of victory over his enemies. Ironically, the sudden disappearance enrages earth’s inhabitants, already maddened by events that are beyond their control. Simultaneously, God begins to pour out his wrath upon the earth in a series of judgments that devastate the planet. But before the disappearance, the torch is passed to a chosen number of Jews. They, along with a new generation of believers, boldly proclaim the message of Jesus until he gloriously returns to the land of his birth. There, in the sands of the Middle East, Christ defeats the evil Antichrist and his followers as he prepares to reign over his temporal kingdom on earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Rapture: Biblical Fact or Man's Tradition, author Dr. Dena Stevens considers a subject called "rapture"-- pertaining to the end-times and embraced by many--to determine if it is actually taught in the Bible, or if it is only a tradition of men. The consequences of accepting or rejecting this doctrine are of such importance to the eternal, spiritual destiny of man that it is deserving of very close examination. Stevens goes back to the account at the beginning in Genesis, examining scriptural descriptions of God's divine plan for the world from both the Old and New Testaments, as well as His reasons for placing man on the earth in flesh bodies. She then takes an in-depth look into some of the areas that God's people have not understood and serves to clarify some questions we have often pondered, but for which we have found no real answers. Stevens examines future prophetic events of the end-times and man's role in them in order to answer the question of her study: is the rapture a doctrine taught in the Bible, or is it only a tradition that man has devised for his own comfort and salvation?
