The Rapture – 2nd Edition

The Pre-Tribulational Rapture of the Church Viewed From the Bible and the Ancient Church

by Ken Johnson

The early church believed that Israel would return to the Land one day, endure the Tribulation Period and then see the Second Coming of Christ at the conclusion of the Battle of Armageddon; a rescue effort orchestrated by Jesus Christ. Author Ken Johnson points out that more than 50 prophecies have been fulfilled in detail since Israel became a state in 1948 . . . AND SO MUCH MORE!

Johnson provides evidence that several ancient rabbis and at least four ancient church fathers taught a pre-tribulation rapture. Most impressive is a list of common arguments from various other “camps,” which oppose the pre-tribulation rapture. From confusion over “the last trump” to disagreements over Noah’s protection in the Flood, Johnson takes a welcomed, biblically-based, common-sense approach to this debate and provides genuinely insightful answers to these divisive subjects. Real answers to all the objections! This is an excellent primer on the subject that covers the Day of the Lord, the Old Testament prophecies concerning the rapture, the Antichrist and the great apostasy.
