Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapture--or the belief that Jesus' living followers will, at some point, join him forever while others do not--is an important but contested doctrine among evangelicals. Scholars generally hold one of three perspectives on the timing and circumstances of the rapture, all of which are presented in this important volume of the Counterpoints series, Three Views on the Rapture: Alan D. Hultberg (PhD, Trinity International University and professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology) explains the Pre-Wrath view. Craig Blaising (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary and president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) defends the Pre-Tribulation view. Douglas Moo (PhD, University of St. Andrews and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College) sets forth the Post-Tribulation view. Each author provides a substantive explanation of his position, which is critiqued by the other two authors. A thorough introduction gives a historical overview of the doctrine of the rapture and its effects on the church. The interactive and fair-minded format of the Counterpoints series allows readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions.

Download or read book The Rapture Exposed written by Barbara R. Rossing and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 240 pages. 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.

Download or read book Where Did Everybody Go written by Jim Finch and published by Primedia E-Launch LLC. This book was released on 2020-09-26 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible tells us about an event known as the Rapture of the Church. There are many viewpoints on the timing of this event, but the Bible seems to support a Pre-Tribulational view. This means that Jesus will come to get His Church before the events of the Tribulation take place that are written about by John, in the book of Revelation.Once the rapture takes place, most of the world will be left behind to face the wrath of God, not to mention severe persecution by the Antichrist and False Prophet. Because of the suppression of the Holy Spirit, the world will be in total confusion. People will be breaking into homes looking for food, shelter, clothing, or perhaps even looking to do harm.The primary component of this book is a letter that you can leave behind in your home that will explain the world's condition at that time. It also lets the reader know what to expect, based on Biblical prophecy. It has a detailed plan of salvation for those left behind to explain how they can receive Christ even after all Believers have departed for Heaven. This provides you with a unique opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with someone after you have left this earth. There's also a list provided for you to name, and give contact information for, any loved ones that you are concerned may not have been saved. The reader is asked to contact them, allowing you to potentially reach them with the news of what is going on as well as let them know you are safe.We don't have much time left on this planet before this event. Take this opportunity to make a difference in the eternal life of someone who won't have a lot of chances to hear the Gospel after we're gone.

Download or read book The Church in End Time Prophecy written by Curtis Schulze and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church in Prophecy Today, the rapture of the church is one of the most disputed end-time topics in all the scriptures. No other end-time doctrine has divided the church more than this subject of the rapture. We have made this all about timing, rather than his return. Many are preoccupied with and distracted by their own particular prediction. The purpose of this book is not to refute one position in favor of another, but to come against the church's obsession and preoccupation with timing. Our focus should be directed toward his return, and not fixed on timing. This is the testimony of the scriptures! Whether he comes early, or whether he tarries, this does not matter to me. What matters to me is the readiness of the church! We need to be ready now and always if he comes early, but if delayed: we will need to be ready to go through the dark and difficult days ahead. We need to prepare our hearts now for what is coming lest it catch us off guard! We need to build our faith to stand under pressure, and we need to build our trust and confidence in Him now to keep us while in tribulation. We will need to settle the matter in our hearts concerning all those things coming on the earth, to lay our lives down at all cost! We will need to prepare our children and loved ones for the day ahead if the Lord tarry. If the Lord did return today, most would not be ready to evacuate! If he were to delay his coming, most are unprepared for the dark and difficult days ahead. I am afraid for the church! I am afraid many will fall away if the rapture does not occur as expected. I am afraid many are taking this too lightly, thinking they are guaranteed a seat on the rapture express but will be left behind because of complacency and indifference toward Christ and the gospel. Either way you look at it, the church is neither ready to leave, nor ready to go through!

Book excerpt: WHAT? Would this headline mean we've missed the Rapture? Absolutely Not! In light of the rampant evil permeating so much of our world, few would deny that Daniel's seventieth week appears to be rapidly approaching. Even so, we are secure in God's promise that we will be taken to heaven prior to His end-time judgments. BUT . . . Do the Lord's judgments begin with the peace treaty? Surprisingly, NO! The Bible does not tell us when we will be raptured, but it does tell us what must happen prior to that glorious event. There are no "hidden secrets" to understanding end-times prophecy. It is astounding how clear the Scriptures are! If you have been taught the Pretrib Rapture position, a second look is in order. Walk with Mike through Old and New Testament passages that shed light on the timing of the Rapture and its relationship to the seven-sealed scroll of Revelation.
