Description:
Millions of people believe in - and have their hearts and faith set on - what they call the Rapture. They may even be staking their salvation on it. They are waiting for their Lord Jesus to come and take them, quietly and secretly, away from all the trouble and tribulation that would soon come upon the earth.
Other organizations have a similar concept - that of a "place of safety." They don't teach that the people will be removed secretly, but that they will be taken to a safe place to be protected while the tribulation rages.
Both ideas are comforting to their believers - so that they may escape any pain and suffering and want. But are they scriptural? Can either one be proven from the Scriptures? Let's see if we can figure out what the "Rapture" is and where the idea came from.

This is an excellent booklet! People are believing in the pre-trib Rapture view without looking into the truth for themselves. People want to believe that they will never go through any persecution or tribulation. That isn't what the Bible teaches! Yes, God does protect us, but we may have to suffer for His name at some point. We need to be willing to do that and not just assume that He will take us away when the tribulation period begins. There is only ONE second coming, not two! Again, nice work!
