There is widespread agreement among conservative Bible scholars that we are living in the prophesied last days and the removal of Christians from the earth via the supernatural event known as the rapture is at the door. Many have authored books about what occurs after the rapture during the tribulation period when all hell breaks loose on those that are left behind. But what is God doing today to maximize the number of souls he will rescue and minimize the numbers of those left behind to suffer His wrath?

In military terminology, He is preparing the battlefield by moving His assets into the attack position. In other words, He is gathering and placing select people to perform tasks that will alert people to the times and what they must do to be saved. Rapture Mountain presents a likely method God has chosen to accomplish the mission.

It is unlikely you have ever read a novel like this one. It is a supernatural mystery story understood through a biblical lens mixed with prophecy, an evangelical message that transcends time, some romance, considerable humor, a dash of conflict and authored over a period of more than thirty years. Some of the events are real, experienced by the author over a span of 50 years (actual names, dates and locations were altered), and many of the characters are based on real people. It is also unlikely you have experienced such a unique book format. Most of the book covers only a few hours of time as Steve and Beth make their life’s story come alive for their grown children. There are no chapters. Rather, the events occurring over a period of over 20 years are portrayed through a series of flashbacks and real time. To avoid any confusion, the manuscript clearly labels which time period is being presented; REAL TIME or FLASHBACK.

My hope is that you will be inspired to further study prophecy recorded in about thirty percent of the Bible. I challenge the reader to view the book as an evangelical tool to share with others who know little or nothing about the Bible and salvation. Do what Jesus commanded you to do: spread the gospel. One way to do that is to give others a copy of the book and open the door for their salvation. Time is short. “I guarantee it!”

There is an old expression that goes something like this … the highway of life is paved with many attractive parking places. One of those tempting detours can be found in Don Mercer’s prophetic novel, Rapture Mountain, the story of a simple family vacation that turns into the adventure of a lifetime.

Ex-CIA Operations Officer, Don Mercer, a long-time student of Bible prophecy with a passion for the lost, will introduce you to a one-of-a-kind, too-good-to-be-true ski instructor who appears to know the future. Who is this mysterious time traveler and what does he have in store for this innocent family of unbelievers? Who are his mysterious companions and why do they all have familiar biblical names?

Mercer takes his readers straight to the slopes, where they will experience a series of twists and turns that expose the supernatural side of life, all experienced over a 20-year period of flashbacks and eerie “coincidences.” This road map to the rapture skillfully combines the Bible’s 2500-year-old prophecies with current world events, highlighting the nearness of the rapture of the church and reaching the lost with a clear Gospel message. The title says it best … Rapture Mountain, Where No Skier Gets Left Behind!

The Rapture is the Resurrection: The Biblical Rapture – Clearly and Concisely Explained

by Gary Stearman

Today, even non-Christians are using the term, “rapture.” Late-night TV comics mock it; agnostic intellectuals view it as childish imagination. Some churches ignore it; others spiritualize it to the point of insignificance. However, among Christians serious about Bible prophecy, a growing debate about the rapture has emerged. They all agree that God’s judgment of this world is near at hand—The Seven-Year Tribulation.

But there is radical and growing disagreement about the role of the Church will play. Some think we’ll be “fighting the good fight,” by going through all or part of this horrific “judgment day.” But in Paul’s epistles, there are many affirmations of comfort and hope, keyed to those living Christians who will be “caught up together,” to be with the Lord in glorified resurrection bodies … before the Lord’s judgment falls upon a perpetually-adolescent world. This message is designed to bring life and immediacy to his advice in 1 Thessalonians 4:18: “Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.”

This hour-long message by Gary Stearman, delivered before a LIVE audience, is already being hailed as one of the most detailed and encouraging messages ever delivered on this subject. Skillfully building a strong, logical foundation, then building upon it and answering objections along the way, Gary weaves a tapestry of hope—the result of over 40 years of deep biblical study as a pastor and Bible teacher. This is the message to give to the serious Rapture skeptic. The Rapture isn’t easy escapism. It’s the resurrection of the Church Age and the Bride of Christ! It’s the first time we all meet Jesus together! IN THE AIR!!
