Rapture of the Church

Imagine that you are sitting at your computer enjoying a mocha latte as you scroll through your Facebook newsfeed. Then it hits you! Considering the rampant evil which permeates just about everything you see you realize the end-times must be very near. Amazingly biblical prophecies are falling into place right before your very eyes! <br />You've heard repeatedly that the church will be raptured prior to the seven-year peace treaty that marks the beginning of the Tribulation Period. Up until now you have accepted this teaching; and yet ... you have an uneasy feeling. Something is amiss.<br />The Bible clearly states that Christians will be raptured before God's end-time judgments against this rebellious world have begun. However there is something about the pretrib rapture that just doesn't make sense to you. Many who proclaim this position fervently teach about what occurs within the seven-year period of tribulation. You wonder why they focus so much on these events if they believe the rapture takes place before these treacherous times begin.<br />And then ... Acts 17:11 comes to mind: Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica for they received the word with great eagerness examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. <br />God tells us that it is noble to examine the Bible daily to see if what we are taught is consistent with the Scriptures. Join author Mike Pfeil as he methodically walks you through this thrilling study of what the Scriptures proclaim will happen before and after the return of Christ.-Wade J. Carey Christian novelist
