Download or read book The Layman s Guide to the Rapture written by Ian Mann and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2016-06-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS. "Will the church have to endure the time of great tribulation?" "Should we make preparations or rely upon God to take care of us? This book does not contain any secret or heretofore unrevealed truths and there are no special revelations given only to the author. I simply look at the plainly spoken and universally acknowledged teachings of Jesus and His disciples and I look at the timeless principles of God shown to us throughout the Old and New Testaments. That's why I've called this book the "Layman's Guide." You don't have to be a Bible scholar to understand anything in this book, and you can follow along in whatever version of the Bible you prefer. FOUR DISTINCT VIEWS ON THE RAPTURE Pre-tribulation says that the church will be removed from the earth before the tribulation - seven years before the return of Christ. Mid-tribulation says the church will be removed halfway through the tribulation 3 1/2 years before the return of Christ. Pre-wrath differentiates itself by redefining the term "great tribulation" but is really about the same as mid-tribulation without specifying the time. Post-tribulation says the rapture of the church takes place after the great tribulation at the coming of Christ to establish His millennial kingdom. Of these four versions the first three are very similar in that they all say the church will be removed from the earth at some point either before or during the great tribulation. Only the post tribulation view says that the church will remain on earth until the end of the great tribulation. So for all intents and purposes what you really have is two views: pre-tribulation (with variations) and post tribulation. That is how I have addressed them in this book."

Download or read book Harpazo written by Tim Horrell and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine that millions of people have just vanished from the earth. Where did they go? Why did they go? Harpazo: A Layman's Guide to the Rapture explores these questions from a scriptural point of view. Using plain English and the King James Version scriptural references, the case is made that the rapture is a real event that we should be expecting at any moment. It encourages the reader to search out the scriptures for themselves and to pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal this mystery that Paul spoke of. It is not written from a theologian's perspective but from a lover of Christ who felt the need to share these things with others as they were learned and revealed through his personal journey. This book can be used as an evangelical tool and a Bible-study tool or just to add to one's personal journey with our Lord Jesus. See how the rapture models the first-century Jewish wedding traditions and how the Church is the bride of Christ. How easy the book of "the Revelation of Jesus Christ" is to understand when you become familiar with the outline within the Scripture, understanding the church age and where we fit in on that timeline.

Download or read book A Beginner s Guide to the Rapture written by Greg Legge and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord himself will come down from heaven. We will hear a loud command. We will hear the voice of the leader of the angels. We will hear a blast from God’s trumpet. ... We will be taken up in the clouds. We will meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with him forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, NIrV) Many are waiting for the return of Jesus Christ. But what if it’s already happened? Rapture is the biblical prophecy of Christ’s promise to physically return to the earth and gather his followers to meet him in the sky and be granted eternal life in heaven. In A Beginner’s Guide to the Rapture: The History of Christ’s Return, Greg Legge presents a thorough study of historical evidence to argue that Christ fulfilled this promise nearly two thousand years ago. Legge makes a compelling argument that the rapture has come and gone by pairing history with relevant biblical scripture. From analyzing the works of 19th century Adventists to detailing the lives of the 1st century leaders of the Roman Empire, Legge proves that what society has come to assume about the Second Coming may be completely wrong.

Download or read book Post Rapture Survival Guide written by Jeffrey Harbin and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES WHO ARE NOT YET SAVED, YOU NEED TO GET THIS BOOK INTO THEIR HANDS IMMEDIATELY! Christians know that the signs are everywhere that point to The Rapture as being imminent. From the rebirth of Israel to the ability to communicate worldwide in a matter of seconds, all of the prophecies have been fulfilled except one: Jesus' promised return to take His Bride (the Church) home before the start of the Seven Years Tribulation. In this book, author Jeffrey Harbin lays out in explicit detail how all the pieces are in place, and proves that the Rapture could occur literally at any minute. In what started out as just a letter written for several of his non-believing friends, Harbin not only demonstrates that the Rapture is pending, but also goes into painful detail explaining what non-believers will suffer through during the Seven Years Tribulation. There are 21 separate Judgments which God will inflict upon the earth in a last-ditch attempt to get man's attention. Anyone who misses out on the Rapture due to their lack of belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior now has a guidebook that tells them exactly what to expect during the seven years that follow the Rapture. But all is not lost for those who miss the Rapture. Relying only upon Scripture, this book lays out a simple plan of salvation that everyone can follow to guarantee an eternity in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.

Download or read book The Complete Layman s Guide To End Times Prophecy A Biblical Perspective written by Robert R. Ramirez and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you looked around at the world and felt as though everything was falling apart? America is struggling economically and no one has any answers. Unemployment has been over 9% for over two years now. It feels like the government is trying to take control of our lives. There is speculation that Greece might collapse economically, and, if they do, other European countries will follow suit. The Middle East is in total chaos and very unstable, with all these people rioting in the streets and wreaking havoc on their respective countries, along with dictators falling and rising from power. Iran is still telling everyone they are intent on annihilating Israel as they improve their nuclear capabilities. As Christians, our hope is in Jesus Christ; we know that our God is sovereign, so all the chaos in the world has no effect on how God brings the world to an end. But the end is in sight, and people are looking for something certain in this world. There are so many questions Christians have regarding End Times Prophecy and do not understand, simply because the church has not fulfilled its purpose in rightly dividing the Word of truth for the saints. The Complete Layman's Guide to End Times Prophecy will bring together all the questions one might have regarding the end of the world and the return of the Warrior King Jesus Christ to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom. This book is clear, concise, and cogent in its message and attempts to address all End Times Prophecy questions.

Download or read book A Layman s Challenge to the Rapture Theory written by Peter Bellone and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian doctrine teaches that one day in the unforeseen future, Jesus Christ is going to appear in the clouds above the earth; and with a shout, he is going to rapture (catch up) all Christians! Then in a moment, they are going to rise and join Jesus in the air, and then be taken to heaven, where they will forever be with the Lord. This English word rapture is a translation of the Latin word Rapiemur, which also is a substitute for the Greek word harpazo, which means "to be caught up" which is taken from Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, referring to the fact that Jesus is going to 'catch up' all Christians living and dead! It is also possible that the use of the term Rapture in describing this event, was used, because in the English language, Rapture means an intense feeling of pleasure or joy! This Rapture theory was first championed in the early 1800s by a Protestant clergyman by the name of John Darby, who was recovering from an illness. And while studying his Bible, came upon the realization that Jesus was going to first come for his saints, take them to heaven, and then, sometime later, Jesus was going to return to earth, defeat Satan, and then the end of the world was going to come about! It is this theory that has been taught to Christian church goers throughout the ensuing years. And with this rapture, there is a secondary teaching that when Jesus comes for his people, there will be many airplanes, trains, and automobiles that will be driver/pilot-less and will go crashing to the ground, killing untold millions all over the globe. It is with this information in mind that we explore the truth of this Rapture theory and if what John Darby taught is true or not. We will look at all the relevant scriptures pertaining to this theory, which then brings us to look at God's seven annual holy days. Why, because these days reflect the plan of God for the redemption of all mankind and points us toward this day of rapture! Therefore, the object of this book is not to titillate you about Jesus' secret coming as others have done, nor to scare you if you were to be left behind! No, the purpose of this book is to teach you the truth of what really happens when this day finally arrives! In addition, it is important to understand what exactly is salvation, and this rapture theory definitely pertains to your salvation! Therefore, you deserve to know the truth because everything else takes you away from God, and it is the truth that will set you free! --Peter

Download or read book Overtaken Unawares written by Norman L. Lane and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to the subject of the rapture, most people are only concerned with the question of whether it will happen before, during, or after the tribulation. There are, however, much more important issues concerning it that need to be addressed - issues with eternal consequences for our lives. There are aspects of the rapture that popular teaching on the subject usually ignores, so many Christians have not been prepared to deal with much of what scripture says concerning it. In OVERTAKEN UNAWARES we confront these issues head-on and answer questions like: -Does the Bible teach the rapture of the church? Is there really more than one "second coming" of Christ? -Can we definitively answer the question of where to place the rapture on the prophetic timeline? -Will all Christians be raptured? Are there any qualifications for being taken in the rapture beyond receiving salvation by faith in Christ? -Will all believers inherit the kingdom of God, and what does this have to do with the rapture? -What is the Judgment Seat of Christ and what does it have to do with the rapture? -Are there other rapture events in scripture, and if so, what do they teach us about it? -Will the church be raptured before the revelation of the antichrist? -Do we know who the antichrist is, and is he active in the world today? -Where does the rapture occur in the Book of Revelation? What is actually going on in the places that people usually try to put the rapture? -What specific end-times persecution will Christians face before the rapture? -Have any of the seals on the scroll in Revelation been opened? If so, where are we at in the seals, and what will happen next? -What is the sixth seal disaster? Can we avoid it along with the rest of the tribulation? -Why do we need to make our "calling and election sure?" How do we do that? -Is Satan doing anything to prepare for the rapture? Because many believers have not been taught the whole truth about these things, they may soon find that they have been OVERTAKEN UNAWARES by events that are on the horizon right now There is no need to go blindly into the future when the truth is there for anyone who will carefully consider it to see. There is much reason to be hopeful if you are properly prepared for what is coming, so it is my prayer that you will read this book, take to heart what God's word says about these things, and share it with anyone who will listen, so you, and they, will not be...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man has many ideas about what the Rapture is and when it will take place.

I have told you everything ahead of time” (Mark 13:23). Scripture describes only one Rapture, numerous times and in various ways. Each and every time the Bible describes Christ's return to resurrect and gather His Church, the timing is the same. Let the Watchman guide you to a biblical understanding of the Rapture and more.
