The Pre--Trib Rapture: Exposing Reformed Eschatology's Embrace of the Beautiful Captive Woman by James B. De Young Pdf

Where did Paul get his word for the "rapture" (harpazō)? How does this source support the pre-trib Rapture? Why is the phrase, "the end times," extra-biblical and misleading? Why is the teaching about the resurrection/rapture a premier doctrine? How does uncertainty about the Rapture undermine imminency and foster lethargy in witness and mission? What are the implications of a post-trib view? Why does Reformed/Covenant eschatology embrace the "Beautiful Captive Woman" (allegory) and amillennialism, and reject Jesus's millennial kingdom? How does it fail to satisfy Christian hope? How is it a fantasy? How does classic premillennialism fail as a compromise? On the basis of a literal interpretation of Scripture, De Young cites evidence often ignored that the pre-trib Rapture is the key to the rest of eschatology: the Great Tribulation; the return of Christ at the Battle of Armageddon; the restoration of the nation of Israel; the Millennial Kingdom; and the New Heavens and Earth. James B. De Young, Th.D., is Senior Professor of New Testament at Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon. With Patricia, his wife of 57 years, he lives on a [very] small farm in Damascus, Or. He has written over a dozen books on a variety of Christian issues. His last three books on prophecy flow from his extensive teaching the Book of Revelation and other prophetic Scripture (including Daniel) for over fifty years in grad school, college, and churches. These last books include The Apocalypse Is Coming (2020), a comprehensive study of the Antichrist, and, co-authored with John Balch, Missed the Rapture? How to Overcome during the Great Tribulation. The present book gives new, persuasive support for the the pre-tribulation rapture based in literal interpretation and its significant role for all future events, for exposing the distortion of Reformed eschatology, and for the restoration of the nation of Israel.

The Rapture Exposed by Barbara R. Rossing Pdf

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.

Three Views on the Rapture by Craig A. Blaising,Douglas J. Moo Pdf

The rapture--or the belief that Jesus' living followers will, at some point, join him forever while others do not--is an important but contested doctrine among evangelicals. Scholars generally hold one of three perspectives on the timing and circumstances of the rapture, all of which are presented in this important volume of the Counterpoints series, Three Views on the Rapture: Alan D. Hultberg (PhD, Trinity International University and professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology) explains the Pre-Wrath view. Craig Blaising (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary and president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) defends the Pre-Tribulation view. Douglas Moo (PhD, University of St. Andrews and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College) sets forth the Post-Tribulation view. Each author provides a substantive explanation of his position, which is critiqued by the other two authors. A thorough introduction gives a historical overview of the doctrine of the rapture and its effects on the church. The interactive and fair-minded format of the Counterpoints series allows readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions.

Exposing the Fallacies of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture by Billy Broadwater Pdf

The Pretribulation Rapture theory has had a foothold on many Christians in America for over a hundred years. This teaching is not allowed to be challenged in many Christian circles. Exposing the Fallacies of the Pretribulation Rapture takes the building blocks of this theory and dismantles them one by one in a serious, thought-provoking analogy of this doctrine. - Is the seven year tribulation really a biblical term? - Is the church literally raptured in Revelation chapter 4? - Are there signs that precede the return of Christ? - Is the rapture really an invisible event? - Are Christians exempt from tribulation? - Where did the true roots of the pretribulation rapture come from? - What does the day of the Lord have to do with the rapture? These questions and many more are answered in Exposing the Fallacies of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. Not only is there a thorough examination of the rapture, but also a detailed account is given of the numerous discrepancies among leading pretribulation teachers over Bible passages on the second coming. Billy Broadwater's in-depth Bible based research for over twenty-years brings home the truth about the rapture.

The Rapture Examined, Explained and Exposed by W. Larry Pharr Pdf

The Timing of the Rapture Does Matter The Christian arguments over pre-tribulation rapture, post-tribulation rapture et al. must end! God's Word is clear on the subject but sectarianism has distorted truth to the point of confusing believers instead of informing them concerning the coming of the Lord. This work on the rapture is the most important the reader will ever encounter as it emphatically proves the timing and nature of the coming of Christ. It promises to blow away all pre-conceived and steadfast positions of those adhering to age-old traditions concerning when the rapture occurs. The book is easily readable as it is written to the laity, yet it is studious as well. It will serve well as a text for teaching the coming of the Lord as it evenly compares both post-tribulation and pre-tribulation rapture positions. The chapters "Jesus Comes with Clouds" and "The Harvest" alone is well worth the price of the book. The book promises to teach the reader more about the rapture than one has ever learned before. Warren Larry Pharr has over fifty years of diligent study of the prophetic Word of God. He has ministered and taught the Scriptures from the time he was converted at age sixteen and is regarded of his peers to be extremely knowledgeable in the prophetic Word. Being a stanch conservative concerning prophecy, he refuses to exercise speculation and date setting concerning the Scriptures and cringes at the wild and fantastic statements of modern ministers concerning last day events. His original book "I Will Come Again" is the more comprehensive study of the rapture than this present one but this work approaches the rapture question from angles seldom, if ever considered by Bible scholars.

The Apocalypse Is Coming by James B. De Young Pdf

The eschatological passages of Scripture say more about the Antichrist and his climb to world rule than any other person (apart from Jesus Christ and his second coming). Nevertheless, the subject has been greatly neglected in books about the end of the age. In The Apocalypse Is Coming, Dr. James De Young answers pertinent questions like: - What do the present pandemic and failing economies tell us about the end times? - How is the "mystery of lawlessness" presently at work? - What is the USA's role in restraining the Antichrist? - How does Jesus Christ defeat the Antichrist at Armageddon?

Escape the Coming Antichrist by Lou Comunale Pdf

"Escape the Coming Antichrist -- When the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Fails (and it will!)" The Left Behind book and movie series has given Christians a false hope about escaping the Antichrist and the tumultuous Great Tribulation just ahead of us. This erroneous teaching has caused many Christians to believe in a pre-tribulation rapture that will not come to pass. Many will be disillusioned and fall away at that time. However, there is a biblical way of escape that offers real hope, but it's not the pre-tribulation rapture! This book also removes the guesswork about much end-time speculation by providing biblical answers to the following: * What is the one question pre-tribbers can't answer? * How can you positively identify the Antichrist when he comes? * What is the only sign that signals the Last Seven Years before Christ's return? * Is "Mystery Babylon" America? Rome? Mecca? Or Jerusalem? * Why has the Church embraced the flawed pre-tribulation rapture theory? * Is the Antichrist a Gay Muslim, a Jew, or what? * Does Walid Shoebat's assertion that 666 is actually an Arabic phrase have any validity? * What hope do we have that Jesus Christ will protect any Christian during the Great Tribulation? The answers to these and many other questions are given here with a penetrating, no-nonsense biblical clarity. "With this book, you are called to share difficult truths that many will reject but His remnant will embrace. Excited to see you step into what God has ordained for you." -- Cristina Cain, Prophetic minister, author of "You Can Hear God"

Not Afraid of the Antichrist by Michael L. Brown,Craig S. Keener Pdf

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.

Burning Down "The Shack" by James B. De Young Pdf

Millions have bought into the theology of Paul Young, whose book, The Shack, which portrays God as a loving, black woman. Similar changes in appearance were given to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The story of pain and redemption then resonated with the public. But is Young's worldview important? Is his theology that big a deal? James De Young thinks so. In fact, it's so important that he's written a compelling challenge to The Shack. In Burning Down the Shack, De Young manages to shed important light on the implications of Young's pluralistic faith, and provides readers with a gripping counter-balance to the popular little volume that's spent many weeks on the best-seller lists. Exploring the nature and character of God, from Scripture, De Young concludes that it is necessary to proceed carefully with The Shack, lest important truths be skewed and even jettisoned. Without being confrontational, De Young makes the case that dangers can lurk under the foundation.

How to Be Rapture Ready by Charles L Bennett Pdf

"And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark ..." (Luke 17:26-27). Who was getting married? Fallen angels and human women. The DNA of mankind was being attacked by Satan. The battle of the ages had begun in response to the command of God in Genesis 3:15, that the Seed of the woman would bruise Satan's head. - Could it be that, as it was in the days of Noah, the DNA of mankind will once again be attacked, and the Mark of the Beast will be integrated into the bones of humans, changing the DNA of each person, so that they will no longer be 100% human? - Is this why all who take the Mark of the Beast will be assigned to Hell? - Will the Rapture of the Church be a "poofing" out of here, or could it be the biggest test of your faith? The answers to these and many other questions, along with deep spiritual insights, are to be found in this book.
