Here, Crawford Gribben offers a history, description, and analysis of the rapture-novel genre. The late 1980s culminated in the creation of the Left Behind series. The novels in this series, Gribben shows, are derivative - borrowing entire characters and significant incidents from earlier books.

For the inquiring reader who senses that the "catching up" of the Church is imminent, I guarantee that this book will challenge many of the conventional constructs on the subject. Written in an easy, layman-like, and personable format, you will not be encumbered with deep theological terminology and extra-biblical references used by many. You will be asked to go with me as I dismantle what people have made complicated by restoring a basic TRUTH: that the books of Genesis and Revelation are, indeed "bookends," and one must "grasp the one without letting go of the other in order to come forth with both of them." My hope is that my presentation will advance and affirm the love and commitment that God has for His chosen people (the Jews), His adopted people (the Gentiles), and the whole world that He sent His Son to redeem.

Jesus is coming soon, for all signs point to His arrival...again. The Last Days are upon us...again. The Great Tribulation is about to start...again. We will see the Lord coming in clouds of glory, for we are the last generation...again. Even before William Miller pronounced these kinds of tidings for 1843, and when it didn’t occur, he assured his followers it would happen on October 22, 1844; this refrain was common from Christians down throughout the ages. However, since the time of Miller, and especially since 1948, when the nation of Israel was given birth, the chorus of Christian voices proclaiming End-Times and Last-Days is a constant message. The problem, all those who have preached this since 70AD, have been wrong, always, 100% of the time. In the Revelation of Jesus, given to Saint John, he assures the seven Churches the time was near, it was in fact, at hand. The letter closes with the assurance of that fact, the Lord was coming soon, for Jesus states: “Surely I come quickly” (Revelation 22:20). So, that leaves us with two perplexing and bewildering conclusions. Jesus was wrong about His soon coming, and those who preach this, have also been preaching a tall tale, a cock-and-bull story. However, the early Christians did not believe what is being taught across today's pulpits concerning this teaching. They knew those events would happen in their lifetime, not 2,000 years in the future, they took Jesus at His word, and it saved their lives. In this book, you will find the doctrine believed by early Christians, and the reason the modern Last Days doctrine has always been wrong, and how it was fulfilled. You will also find the message taught by Jesus, and presented throughout the Holy Scriptures, hope and victory for Christ’s Church.

Why is there so much confusion about how and when the rapture will take place? What does the Bible say for certain about this event? When will the Tribulation occur, and who will face it? There is a lot of discussion among Christians about the rapture and the last days. Why all the different views? And how do those perspectives line up with Scripture? Tim LaHaye and Thomas Ice have assembled a team of longtime Bible prophecy experts who look carefully to God's Word for the answers. In this book, readers will discover what they can know for certain. And as they consider the things that still remain uncertain, they will gain a renewed trust that God knows what He is doing. His plan is perfect, and it will unfold in His timing. An easy-to-understand resource that provides much-needed clarification about the end times.

Biblical Studies on the Prophecies of the Rapture and Revelation - is an introduction to and exploration of the Bibles teachings on the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. It distinguishes the Rapture from the Revelation. It affirms the Premillennial / Pre-tribulation Rapture / and Dispensational views. Explored are various theological positions of the Return of Christ, Biblical history, Church history, and insights from key Scripture passages. Russell writes for inquiring laity, clergy and seminarians. This work provides edification, inspiration, a wealth of Biblical knowledge; working together strands of history, theology, Biblical studies, statistics and even humor. The book addresses the Unconditional Covenant God made with Israel; kindly refutes Replacement theology / the Amil and Postmil views; defines Daniels 70th Week; considers the future Tribulation, Millennium; reminds of Gods Sovereignty and Providence, warns of sensationalism, date setting; presents signs of the times, and touches on Apostasy. The book is a comprehensive eschatological work with significant amounts of doctrine, Biblical history, the history of Christianity, and interrelated eschatological considerations. It also admonishes practical Christian living and encourages seeking paths of holy living. If you desire to understand the distinctions between the Rapture and the Revelation, seek a challenging and rewarding journey of study, and if you would find your faith strengthened and your understanding increased, this book will be a helpful guide to your exploration.

This book explains in great detail and exceptional clarity the issues related to the rapture of the Church, the government of the Antichrist, the great tribulation and all the apocalyptic judgments which God will pour out upon the wicked world. The rapture of the Church will bring about the global collapse of the economic, political and religious institutions of the world. At that moment of monumental crisis, humanity will quickly look for a leader willing to put the world back together, offer them peace and security. The world will host a false prince of peace called the Antichrist. He will elate the masses by telling them what they want to hear. However, he will push humanity to the deepest levels of degradation, vice, immorality, crime, war, violence, and rebellion against God. He will corrupt the social and moral order and as a result, billions of people will die. He will plunge the world into spiritual darkness and lead humanity astray. The Antichrists empire shall devour the whole earth trample it and break it in pieces (Daniel 7:23 NKJV). This will be a period characterized by widespread wars which will bring death to billions of people: For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be (Mark 13:19 NKJV). During this period, 25 and 33 per cent of the world population will die in two major wars. If these conflicts were to happen in our time, 3.56 billion people would die. However, before the Antichrist begins, God will take out of this world, all those who believe in Christ. Seven years later, the Lord Jesus will return to destroy those who destroy the earth (Rev. 11:18b) and establish His everlasting kingdom on Earth. Then, The wolf and the lamb shall feed together. The lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpents food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says the LORD (Isaiah 65:25 NKJV).
