The Time Of The End The 10 Year Tribulation Period And The Conditional Rapture Of Tribulation Saints

One of the most popular and hotly debated topics in recent years has been the subject of what is commonly called “The Tribulation Period”. Theories, speculations, and predictions abound as to when this apocalyptic time begins and who will be a part of it. Some Bible teachers insist that Christians who have been born again during the “Church Age” will have no part whatsoever in this time while others teach that it is the Church’s prophesied destiny to endure to the end and wait for the cataclysmic 2nd coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Which one is right? Which one is wrong? The one thing that all current theories seem to have in common is an abundance of inconsistencies and missing pieces. This book seeks to explain many of the obscure passages in Scripture that seem to have been misunderstood and misapplied for the last two thousand years and bring to light a couple of important truths that have been right in front of us all along, which when properly understood, bring consistency to the puzzle of prophecy and causes many of the hitherto difficult pieces to fit.

A key factor in comprehending the prophetic landscape of the end times is to recognize the specific, prominent nations that will be involved. In the Scriptures, these nations are depicted in allegorical form, and for literally thousands of years, students of the word of God have labored to discern the identity and meaning of the four beasts (Daniel 7), the elements of Nebuchadnezzar’s image (Daniel 2), and the seven heads of the Dragon (Revelation 17). Many speculations and interpretations continue to be made, yet to this day, there is still a great amount of uncertainty regarding these prophecies. The Time of the End I provided the Scriptural foundation for a 10 ½ year timeline of the last days, and like the border pieces of a puzzle, this new perspective has provided new insight into the broader picture of prophecy. The Time of the End II sheds light upon and unlocks the concealed identifications of the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard (Daniel 7), the feet and toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s image (Daniel 2), the seven heads of the Dragon, and how those nations relate to the four horns (Zechariah 1), the four carpenters (Zechariah 1), the four horsemen of the Apocalypse (Revelation 6), and the movements throughout history of Mystery Babylon (Revelation 17). Like its predecessor, The Time of the End II confidently rearranges some of the more popular and accepted ‘puzzle pieces’ of prophecy, and emerges with a notably different picture, one that is far more consistent with a literal interpretation of the Scriptures.

Mankind’s technology is advancing at a breathtaking pace. Things that were regarded a hundred years ago as fanciful imaginations are now a part of our everyday lives. Modern evolutionary science would argue that man is currently at his highest potential, yet the Bible paints a very different picture and indicates that shortly after the flood of Noah, human ingenuity reached its pinnacle…and God Himself had to stop it. Through careful and thorough study of the Scriptures, this book will display to the reader the blueprints of God’s universe, the secret passageways that He built into it and how beings from the spiritual realm can enter into the physical realm…….and visa versa. Once one begins to understand “the Doctrine of the Doors”, the diabolical purpose of the massive Tower of Babel comes into full view. The greatest existential threat the human race has ever seen since the Flood (circa 2348 B.C.) did not come in the form of a bomb, or in the form of a weoponized virus; it came in the form of a tower that was being assembled in a plain of the land of Shinar over 4,000 years ago. Humanity is getting closer and closer to discovering the knowledge that they once possessed. It will not be long before it is understood that “the truth” is not “out there”, but rather “right here”, and that the SKY really is the limit.

A captivating, fresh analysis of Bible prophecy that sheds new light on God's eternal truths about the events of the End Times.

The rapture of the church is perhaps the most awaited hour of Christianity and perhaps one of the most disputed events. The irony is that scripture never mentions the word rapture but the event is accounted for in other language. It is referred to as the day of the Lord, the catching away, the resurrection, the second coming, and the gathering of the elect. It is the time when the Lord Jesus Christ will return to redeem His church out of this world. So, what is the mystery? What is the dispute? Like many things in scripture, the rapture is clouded in mystery. In the modern world, the events surrounding the rapture, to include the rapture itself, makes for great cinema and story. A picture of cataclysmic destruction and agony strike fear and anxiety in the heart of the hearer. Couple that with confusion to its timing and sequence in events leads to a misunderstanding of the times that Jesus said we are supposed to know. People like the shroud of mystery and inconclusive understanding. It tickles the ears of those who seek to have a divine revelation of these events and perpetuates the interests of the seemingly unknown. End time prophecy existed from the beginning and as we read throughout the Old Testament we find many scriptures that pertain to those times. Nearly one-third of the Bible discusses prophecy so its importance is significant. It seems that the Lord wanted us to know something. This is what He told His disciples. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. (John 14:28-30) Jesus spoke of His ascension to Heaven and His return from Heaven, the rapture. He said that He tells us things before they happen so when they happen, we might believe. His disciples worried about His going away but He reassured them of His return and as we look at what Jesus said throughout His ministry, He was not shy about discussing His return. After studying the Word and prophecy for many years, I know this truth. There is no doubt as we see the world shaping up today that the events discussed throughout scripture are happening. The news headlines are saying the same thing that scripture foretold and it builds my faith. It is so clear that those who profess Christianity around the world see that the prophecies are coming to pass. There seems to be a stirring among believers that Jesus Christ is getting ready to return. There is no doubt in their minds of this truth. The problem is the confusion surrounding end time prophecies and there doesn't have to be. While writing this book I was very careful to use scripture and nothing but scripture. Anything outside of scripture is opinion. I don't want opinion. I want to know what God has to say about these topics. The popular view of end time events sees it one way and in their view it as absolute, even if the possible shows another way. I wrote this book on tribulation and rapture so we can see what the Bible says. I hope to show you truth through scripture. You must evaluate that for yourself through study and prayer. This work has much scripture in it because people tend not to look up references. I encourage you, have your Bible with this book and look it up for yourself. We can know certain things by looking at the scriptures and we can understand with confidence how things will happen, to a certain degree. That's why God gave it to us, so we can know the signs of the time.

Many Christians base their understanding of the end times on the popular pretribulation rapture view. They expect that Jesus will rescue them just-in-time before the tribulations of the Antichrist. However, few people realize that every single biblical promise of being raptured at that time is conditional on personal spiritual readiness. Eminent Christian leaders such as A.B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, as well as Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, first taught this biblical perspective of a conditional rapture. In their captivating account, the authors take their readers on a fascinating journey through the pages of the Bible, showing how biblical prophecies from Daniel to Revelation point toward not just one but two raptures: a conditional first fruits rapture for the ready wise virgins of the church, and a later rapture for foolish virgin believers who are spiritually unprepared. Packed with fresh scriptural insights, this book will prepare and equip you for the times ahead! Worthy to Escape makes for a thoroughly intriguing read! It is rare for Christians to apply the Hebraic traditions regarding marriage to the rapture. That and the books strong focus on spiritual intimacy set it apart from the majority of end times writings. Messianic Rabbi Ed Rothman, Hon. M. Div., Hon. Dr. M.S. & J.C., Seed of Abraham Messianic Congregation, St. Louis Park, MN Everyone should become familiar with the first fruits rapture. I highly recommend this book! Rev. J. McCracken, Team Leader, TrueBridge Family of Churches Any student of eschatology needs to read this book and consider its insights. Bible colleges and seminaries should use it as a reference work and make it required reading. Pastor T. Porta, Grace Gospel Church, Cambridge, MN
