does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Not Afraid of the Antichrist Michael L. Brown, Craig S. Keener, 2019-03-19 Despite the popular theology of our day, Christians should not expect to get out of experiencing the tribulation or the end times. Nowhere in the Bible does the Lord promise us this, say Michael Brown and Craig Keener, two leading, acclaimed Bible scholars. In fact, they say, Jesus promises us tribulation in this world. Yet this is no reason to fear. In this fascinating, accessible, and personal book, Brown and Keener walk you through what the Bible really says about the rapture, the tribulation, and the end times. What they find will leave you full of hope. God's wrath is not poured out on His people, and He will shield us from it--as he shielded Israel in Egypt during the ten plagues. So instead of taking comfort in what God hasn't promised, take comfort in the words of Jesus: He has overcome the world, and we live in his victory. |

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Antichrist Before the Day of the Lord Alan Kurschner, 2013 Many of us have been told that we will be raptured out of here before the Antichrist arrives. But what if this is wrong? Is this really what the Bible teaches? In this thought-provoking and freshly examined account on the second coming of Christ, Alan Kurschner traces the key topics and passages, providing compelling biblical evidence that the church will first encounter the Antichrist's great tribulation before Christ returns to rapture his people and judge the world. Jesus warns us, Remember, I have told you ahead of time (Matt. 24:25). And Paul cautions us, Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day will not arrive until the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness [Antichrist] is revealed, the son of destruction (2 Thess. 2:3). Since Jesus and Paul ominously warn us ahead of time, should this not be an urgent message the church needs to hear? Are we spiritually preparing our hearts to be overcomers for what may soon come to pass? Some topics in the book include: Antichrist's Great Tribulation, Jesus' Olivet Discourse, Beginning of Birth Pangs, The Apostasy and Revelation of the Antichrist, The Archangel Michael the Restrainer, The Seven Seals, The Rapture of God's People, Celestial Disturbance Event, Sixth Seal Signals Impending Wrath, The Shekinah Sign, Gather His Elect, The Thessalonian Letters, Where Do Believers Go after the Rapture?, Four Reasons the Rapture Is in Matthew 24:31, The Jewish Remnant Protected for Future Israel, The Day of the Lord that Jesus Knew, Jesus on Back-to-Back Rapture and Wrath, Seventh Seal Pronounces Wrath, Seven Tormenting Trumpets of God's Wrath, Blitzing Bowls and Battle of Armageddon, Key Terms Related to the Return of Christ, Parallels between Jesus and Paul, Proposed Structure to the Book of Revelation, Expectancy Not Imminency, What Did the Early Church Believe? Also included: Kurschner engages his end-time theology (eschatology) of the prewrath perspective with other positions such as pretribulationism, posttribulationism, and preterism. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Next Door Savior Max Lucado, 2012-12-31 We applaud men for doing good things. We enshrine God for doing great things. But what about a man who does God things? One thing is certain. We can't ignore him. If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God. The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity's best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him. Dismiss him? We can't. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to? Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus? Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Echoing Hope Kurt Willems, 2021-03-16 Where is Jesus when we need him most? An influential pastor shares how despair can lead us to discover true hope and a deeper relationship with God, helping us emerge stronger and more joyful from times of crisis. “May this careful look at pain in the context of Jesus’s life open up avenues of discovery and healing.”—Mindy Caliguire, cofounder and president of Soul Care We all experience difficulties and hardships. But how can we learn to live richly in the midst of them? And even grow spiritually because of them? The answer is found in the hopeful humanity of Jesus. As the Son of God, Jesus wasn’t exempt from suffering, disappointment, or injustice. He lived in the real world as a real person. He wept for those he loved. He felt hunger and thirst. He endured temptation, betrayal, and ridicule. He died after being unjustly tortured. And somehow through it all, he embodied hope—by defeating death and opening a new world of life for us. In Echoing Hope, influential pastor and blogger Kurt Willems reveals how understanding the humanity of Jesus can radically transform our identity and empower us to step into our pain-filled world in a new way. Combining rich theological insight with personal stories and practices for response, he shows how we can overcome despair and encounter the beautiful potential of our lives. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Rapture David Currie, 2003-07-31 The end-times error that leaves the Bible behind! Author David Currie grew up convinced that one day all true Christians will suddenly be snatched up to heaven. The unfortunate souls left behind by this rapture will endure seven horrible years of tribulation, at the end of which Christ will return to earth for a glorious thousand-year reign. Today, millions of Christians accept this end-times theology, assuming - as Currie did -- that the Bible clearly teaches it. Many plan their whole lives around it. But, after studying Scripture for decades, Currie has come to see that if you accept the Bible, you have to reject the rapture. In these remarkable pages - which constitute the world's most careful and thorough scriptural study of the rapture - Currie demonstrates why. He considers all the relevant verses (and there are hundreds!) and examines them in the light of ancient history, the writings of the earliest Christians, and the claims of rapturist theologians. With painstaking thoroughness, he unlocks the meanings of the key biblical prophecies that culminate in Christ's Messianic Kingdom - including those verses in Daniel, Matthew, and Revelation that rapturists turn to most. Marshalling evidence that's as startling as it is compelling, Currie argues that these prophecies of war and tribulation don't point to some still-unrealized apocalyptic future. Rather, most of them were fulfilled long ago: the spiritual, priestly Kingdom prefigured in the Old Testament was inaugurated on Calvary, consummated in 70 A.D. with the destruction of the Temple, and continues to exist today . . . in the Catholic Church! That may surprise you. Yet, shows Currie, it's the only conclusion that fits all the scriptural and historical evidence. Rapture: The End-Times Error That Leaves the Bible Behind makes Scripture, prophecy, and history come alive; and it demonstrates that if you open your Bible, you'll find that God's plan for the future of the world is not filled with darkness and disaster, but with light, mercy, and hope. We can all learn much from David Currie, not only from what he says, which is wise, but from how he says it, which is Catholic and Christian. From the Foreword by Scott Hahn. Special features: Over 1,300 references to Scripture, the early Church Fathers, authors and events in ancient history, and contemporary rapturist theologians Ten detailed timelines relating biblical prophecy to key historical events The biblical case for the rapture (showing why so many accept it) A survey of the thoughts of the early Church Fathers about the end-times A history of the development of rapturist theories, showing how this heresy has been refuted time and again by the Church A short course in the proper methods of reading Scripture A survey of end-times hypotheses from the first century through 9/11/2001 Nine ground rules you must follow if you are to make sense of biblical prophecy and relate it to salvation history A 10-page annotated bibliography of rapturist sources ancient and new Plus, much more to help you understand and evaluate the claims of rapturists Among the sources cited: Julius Africanus • St. Athanasius • St. Augustine • Pope Benedict XV • Andreas of Cappadocia • St. Clement of Alexandria • G.

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: The Apocalypse Code Hank Hanegraaff, 2010-09-20 Hank Hanegraaff reveals the code to Revelation. Breaking the code of the book of Revelation has become an international obsession. The result, according to Hank Hanegraaff, has been rampant misreading of Scripture, bad theology, and even bad politics and foreign policy. Hanegraaff argues that the key to understanding the last book of the Bible is the other sixty-five books of the Bible — not current events or recent history and certainly not any complicated charts. The Apocalypse Code offers sane answers to some very controversial questions: What does it mean to take the book of Revelation (and the rest of the Bible) literally? Who are the “Antichrist” and the “Great Whore of Babylon,” and what is the real meaning of “666”? How does our view of the end times change the way we think about the crisis in the Middle East? Are two-thirds of all Jews really headed for an apocalyptic holocaust? The Apocalypse Code is a call to understand what the Bible really says about the end times and why how we understand it matters so much in today’s world. “Provocative and passionate, this fascinating book is a must-read for everyone who’s interested in end-times controversies.” — Lee Strobel, Author, The Case for the Real Jesus “ This book is a withering and unrelenting critique of the positions of apocalyptic enthusiasts — Tim LaHaye. Every fan of the Left Behind series should read this book. The fog will clear, and common sense will return to our reading of the Bible.” — Gary M. Burge, Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College and Graduate School. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Three Views on the Rapture Gleason Leonard Archer, 1996 This book explores three views on the Rapture--Pre; Mid; and Post-Tribulation. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Worthy to Escape Marlon L. Sias, Adrian Zenz, 2012-11-07 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 |

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: When? F. Kenton Beshore, R. William Keller, 2011 This book shows that the Bible clearly teaches the Rapture is not an imminent event that cannot take place at any moment. Many prophetic warning signs of the Rapture have already been fulfilled and many more must be fulfilled before the blessed event. --from publisher description. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: The Rapture Exposed Barbara R. Rossing, 2007-03-30 The idea of The Rapture -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling Left Behind series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Bamboozled Believers Michael Biehler, 2015-11-06 This book is disturbing yet profoundly comforting. Its message is unique, controversial and insightful. Michael Biehler pilots an intellectual adventure while challenging every reader to reexamine his core beliefs. This game-changing, subversive Christian crossover book will at first confound and then delight all who love the truth. Condemned to hell by the thought police of his little Baptist church, Biehler responds with a brave book that illuminates many taboo passages of Scripture. Bamboozled Believers makes sense and it will help you to make to make sense of the Bible too. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Escape the Coming Night David Jeremiah, 2001-11-10 No one can deny that the world is in trouble. Tragedy stalks our streets.

Within its pages are the hope and encouragement we need to lift us from the gloom of present events to the promise of a brilliant future. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Reading Revelation Responsibly Michael J. Gorman, 2011-01-01 This volume deals with the varied forms of shame reflected in biblical, theological, psychological and anthropological sources. Although traditional theology and church practice concentrate on providing forgiveness for shameful behavior, recent scholarship has discovered the crucial relevance of social shame evoked by mental status, adversity, slavery, abuse, illness, grief and defeat. Anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists have discovered that unresolved social shame is related to racial and social prejudice, to bullying, crime, genocide, narcissism, post-traumatic stress and other forms of toxic behavior. Eleven leaders in this research participated in a conference on The Shame Factor, sponsored by St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Lincoln, NE in October 2010. Their essays explore the impact and the transformation of shame in a variety of arenas, comprising in this volume a unique and innovative resource for contemporary religion, therapy, ethics, and social analysis. |

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: The Rapture Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins, 2013-02-08 In this the final prequel to the blockbuster series, the story features the Rapture three-quarters of the way through the book and then follows characters such as Irene and Raymie (and others) up to heaven, where they are able to see events in the Tribulation from heaven’s perspective. The story alternates between events on earth immediately after the Rapture (covering lots of things the authors wished they could have covered in the original volumes) and characters in heaven and how they view the chaotic events on earth. |

A bibliography of current literature plus general and Scripture indexes are included. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Rapture Fusion Brent Humason, 2017-12-09 The Bible's prophesies about the end-times can baffle even the most voracious Bible scholars and theologians. Their surreal symbolic imagery and convoluted timelines cause many Christians to make the appalling decision to avoid reading them all together, wrongly believing that they cannot be understood and/or don't apply to them. Rapture Fusion highlights the critical importance that every Christian read and understand end-times prophesy, as it does apply to every believer and can be systematically dissected to reveal a consistent and coherent timeline and description of future events. If you want to understand the most common schools of thought on the end-times and what the Bible really has to say concerning the tribulation, rapture, second-coming, millennium, and more, this thorough and scripture-based exploration of end-times prophesy is for you. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: These Final Days Ryan Speakman, 2014-12-30 Christian eschatology, or the study of the fate of humankind as revealed in the Bible, is a wide-ranging topic full of controversial opinions. Will the Rapture—the rising of Christians to join Jesus in the air at His return—occur before, during, or after the seven-year Great Tribulation? Who are the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, what do they symbolize, and have they already ridden? The first in a multipart series, These Final Days: Part 1 undertakes a sober, scholarly, and exhaustive analysis of the Bible's teachings on the End Times and, in particular, the Rapture and how it will come to pass. The Christian view of the End Times is a provocative subject that has certainly captured the world's attention in a bevy of books and movies. In joining this broad conversation, author Ryan Speakman meticulously researches each issue to provide detailed answers that will surprise both Christians and non-Christians alike.

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Mideast Beast Joel Richardson, 2022-10-27 I am firmly convinced that Islam is the single greatest challenge the Church will face before the return of Jesus, yet most are still either asleep or in denial. Mideast Beast completes and establishes the revolutionary argument introduced in Joel Richardson's New York Times Bestselling Islamic Antichrist, namely that the Antichrist will be a Muslim, whose empire will arise out of the Middle East. Whereas most students of the Bible have long held that some form of humanism or universalist religion would catapult the Antichrist to world power, Mideast Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist systematically proves from that the long awaited system of the Antichrist is even now before us and knocking at our door. Through a highly scholarly, theologically grounded, yet simple presentation, Richardson thoroughly corrects the objections of critics, establishing beyond a doubt, the Biblical case for an Islamic Antichrist. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Why We're Catholic Trent Horn, 2017-05 How can you believe all this stuff? This is the number-one question Catholics get asked and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why do we believe that God exists, that he became a man and came to save us, that what looks like a wafer of bread is actually his body? Why do we believe that he inspired a holy book and founded an infallible Church to teach us the one true way to live? Ever since he became Catholic, Trent Horn has spent a lot of time answering these questions, trying to explain to friends, family, and total strangers the reasons for his Catholic faith. Some didn't believe in God, or even in the existence of truth. Others said they were spiritual but didn't think you needed religion to be happy. Some were Christians who thought Catholic doctrines over-complicated the pure gospel. And some were fellow Catholics who had a hard time understanding everything they professed to believe on Sunday. Why We're Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to all these people and more. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it s the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief and brings us joy -- |

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: The Flow of Endtime Events Richard Suchy, 2003-04-06 A personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit are required as first steps in understanding the Bible. God then requires that believers diligently study His Word with open hearts and minds as they seek His truth. This book is intended as a study aid in understanding Bible prophecy. Questions addressed include:How will victory over world terrorism lead to something even more horrifying? What can we deduce about the personality and cultural background of Antichrist? What part does the ancient Wailing Wall in Jerusalem play in prophecy? Why do so many people believe in a seven-year Tribulation when the Bible teaches that the first half of this period is a time of peace? How will religious freedom lead to the outlawing of true Christianity? Why will God allow His people to suffer at the hands of Antichrist? Why do so many people believe in the imminent return of Christ when the Bible clearly indicates that certain events must happen first? Why will most of the earth's population look to Satan as the world's hope of salvation and see Jesus Christ as the super villain of the universe? |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: The End of Times Roy Burger, Julia Burger, 2019-03-08 The interpretation of end-time prophecy is not an easy venture. To make matters worse, most of the authors who have interpreted the metaphors have in fact added their opinions instead of studying the revelations as the Lord intended. So how do we catch the message of the Lord instead of being misled by our own interpretations? The End of Times can help us to interpret the will of God, since his revelations are written throughout the Word and we need to humbly understand his thoughts. Authors Roy and Julia Burger invite believers to join them in a search through the Bible to uncover the intentions of God behind the symbolism—thus gaining the knowledge of God. They also provide other views that may have gone astray of the Word, comparing scriptures and letting the Word speak for itself. Colossians 1:10 (NASB) reads “so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Because the end times are approaching, now is the time to heed this divine wisdom and listen to God directly. |

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: The Rapture: A Pre- or Post-Tribulation Event? Colleen Wandmacher, 2017-03-17 God tells us not to be deceived about the timing of our being caught up to meet Jesus in the air, an event Christians refer to as the rapture. He would not have said that unless there was going to be an avalanche of false teaching with regard to the timing of the rapture in the sequence of end-time events. Diligently studying pertinent scriptures in God’s Word is the only way one can be free of deception and be spiritually prepared for the times that may befall us. This book helps the reader to deeply study the Word of God to see the truth. Chapter after chapter leads to the same conclusion—the rapture will be a post-tribulation event. |
does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Last of the Last Days Thaddeus Kedziora, 2015-06-03 Last of the Last Days is dedicated to refuting the unbiblical error of Replacement Theology. It scripturally proves that Nero was not the biblical fulfillment of the Antichrist. It chronicles Israels disobedience and Gods plan of national restoration for Israel through the Tribulation process. It also discusses the next prophetic event for the church, which is the Rapture, followed by the Judgment Seat of Christ. It culminates in evidence that we are living in the Last of the Last Days, before Jesus Christ returns to Earth. |

does the rapture happen before the antichrist: Rapture and Revelation R. G. Brock, 2009-10 This book is not written for Christians alone, but is written for anyone who desires to know the near future. Study helps and materials are listed along with instructions which will give any one the means to understand even the most difficult scriptures in the Bible, which is the most accurate of any book on end time events. With many books on the subject, none are as telling and straight forward as Rapture and Revelation. While there are many fears concerning the end times, author R G. Brock embarks on the task to unravel the mysteries of the Rapture and Revelation. While attending Rhema Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, R G. Brock had the privilege of being taught by well-known author and teacher brother Kenneth Hagin, Sr. who has since went home to be with Jesus. After being inspired by one of Hagin's lectures, Brock obeyed his strong urge to write a book on the end times. This heart-gripping treatise will guide you into the truth as you uncover the mystery of the end of times. This book is written to give you a clear incite into the end of this age. The end begins with peace when a worldwide 7 year peace agreement is signed in the next few years which will be backed by a one world government run by the United Nations. Then in the middle of the 7 year period, the peace agreement will be broken and all hell literally breaks loose which leads to a time of trouble such as never has been or ever will be again. During this time of the last 3 1/2 years, which is called great tribulation, most of the people on the earth will die. However, if you are a Christian you will not go through this terrible time. You will find this book is the most in-depth study on what is called 'the rapture, ' which is the catching away of the Christians to not go through great tribulation, and you will find that it is by far the most in-depth study of 'The Revelation' which shows what will happen during this time of great trouble |
