One of the most controversial topics in the Bible community is the timing of the rapture of the church. But it needn’t be. We have numerous articles on the scriptural support for the pre-tribulation Rapture. The rapture of the church is the secret disappearance of millions of Christians who have placed their faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Jesus will save the church from the wrath of God that is poured out during the coming Tribulation period. In the twinkling of an eye, we shall all vanish and be in Heaven with Jesus Christ forever.
Satan Loves A False Alarm By Joseph Chambers Harold Camping and his false prophecy has caused Lucifer to dance with glee.

(14) For if we believe that Jesus died and […]

This time we’ll continue with a two part survey of the New Testament. Because […]
Rapture References – Part 1 By Jack Kelley Recently I was challenged to make a list of all the passages in the Bible that hint of a pre-trib rapture. As you may know I believe Paul was the first person on Earth to present a clear pre-trib teaching, about 20 years after the cross. Before […]
The Rapture, What’s to Fear? Part 4: The Comfort By Jonathan C. Brentner Do you know that Satan attacked the doctrine of the rapture almost as soon as the ink was dry on Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians?

The Rapture, What’s to Fear? Part 3: The Joy of Jesus’ Return By Jonathan C. Brentner When I was a pastor, I loved performing weddings.

The Rapture, What’s to Fear? – Part 2 By Jonathan C. Brentner While in college at John Brown University, I read Hal Lindsey’s book The Late Great Planet Earth.
