A letter from the author

Dear Reader,

Ever since I became a Christian 25 years ago, I have sought to understand the "seizing or catching away" of the Church, an event commonly known as the Rapture. This study of "Unravelling the Mystery of the Rapture" will hopefully clarify the confusion and controversy there frequently is concerning the subjects of the Rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus.

In the Church today there are many who

  1. have no knowledge at all about the Rapture.
  2. think “meeting the Lord in the air” is the Second Coming.
  3. don't believe at all in the Rapture.
  4. think the Church will have to endure the Tribulation (referred to as the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24 vs 21.)
After much study and prayer for revelation I believe totally in the surety of the Rapture - as I know do thousands of other believers. Although the word "rapture" does not occur in the Bible, this Study Book will explain its origin and the biblical passages referring to it.

Additional subjects included in this study are:-

Jesus -- The Battle of Armageddon -- The Antichrist -- The one world Church -- The one world government -- The Tribulation -- The Millennium -- Escatology -- Jewish wedding tradition -- Eternity -- The rising of the dead -- Israel -- The Bride of Christ -- Judgment -- The Holy Spirit -- "the catching away"

My prayer is that Christians will "...be ready to give an answer to every man that asks us a reason of the hope that is in us." (1 Peter 3 vs 15.)  I trust that this study will help you and others to do this, as well as expressing our true and assured hope of eternity in heaven, as you see more clearly what a wonderful "hope" the Rapture is.

I humbly and prayerfully submit this study to you and would welcome your comments and feedback.  Any non-Christian reader would, I hope, find this to be interesting and challenging.

Please feel free to share this study book with others so that they too may be blessed, encouraged and perhaps comforted.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
