The Rapture of the Church
Living Daily in the Blessed Hope
Christians should hardly need to be reminded of the the Rapture of the
Church, which the Word of God calls the “blessed hope”. Unfortunately
there are aspects of this wonderful doctrine which are not well
understood. The same could be said of the Scriptural teaching on
rewards and crowns. In this paper we have selected some enlightening
passages of Scripture which, we believe, deserve careful study. This is
especially true at a time when, despite deteriorating world conditions,
many professing Christians are slow to embrace the blessed hope.

The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
The website, Hugo Talks, recently posted two videos denouncing the
Pre-Tribulation Rapture. He professed to deal with the subject in a fair
and rational manner but in reality his treatment of this Biblical doctrine
proved to be nothing but a carefully scripted hit piece. His YouTube
channel attracted a large number of comments, many of which revealed
how easily people are taken in by shallow rhetoric and a flagrant misuse
of Scripture. Christians must exercise great discernment in these
matters, recognizing that the Enemy will continue to do all he can to
malign certain doctrines and discourage believers.

The Wrath of God and the Bride of Christ
The Rapture will be a glorious day in the history of the church. We need
to understand it! The Enemy hates this gift from heaven and wants as
much as possible to confuse the saints regarding both the nature and the
timing of this event. Relevant verses in nearly all of the modern
translations of the Bible have been deliberately corrupted to hide the
truth of the Rapture. The NIV is an especially corrupt piece of work. In
this paper we raise issues which all believers need to consider with great
diligence and objectivity. [Posted 12/7/2019]
Why the Enemy Hates the Pre-Tribulation Rapture
The Roman Catholic church has placed many of her people in positions
of influence among the Evangelical community. These profess to defend
true Biblical Christianity but in practise they work together to lure born-
again Christians into the grip of Rome. One of her shills could attack a
particular doctrine, while another would pretend to defend it. This is
how the Great Apostasy is being engineered. One doctrine they really
seem to hate is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. This paper reveals a
depressing example of this vile strategy. [Posted 06/10/2016]
Solid Scriptural Proof of a Pre-tribulation Rapture
The doctrine of a Pre-tribulation Rapture is coming under intense attack
from several quarters and is likely to be assailed with even greater vigor
in the years ahead. The architects of the coming One World religion
despise it and want it abolished. The recent DVD by Good Faith
Ministries – Left Behind or Led Astray? – is part of this co-ordinated
attack. Readers are invited to explore the startling evidence in this paper
that the Bible most definitely teaches a Pre-tribulation Rapture.

Christ came Twice at his First Coming - Facts about the Rapture
There is strong pressure within the professing Christian church today to
reject a Pre-Tribulation Rapture on the erroneous grounds that it has
weak scriptural support. As Bible-believing Christians, we must look at
all times to what the Word of God actually says and not be swayed by
fashionable trends or sceptical opinions. This paper shows how one of
the strongest arguments for a Pre-Tribulation Rapture has apparently
been overlooked. Christians need to reflect prayerfully on this important
subject. [Posted 27/10/2015]
Beware of the False Antichrist and a False Rapture
The Lord warned that, as the End Time drew closer, we should "Watch!"
and not be deceived. This paper discusses the possibility of both a False
Antichrist and a False Rapture. While certainly a perplexing topic, it is
one which in our opinion all students of Bible prophecy should earnestly
consider. The paper shows the considerable impact that such a deception
would have and the potent blend of fear and confusion it would cause.
The Enemy could exploit this handsomely for his own purpose, to
strengthen the hand of the False Prophet and to convince the world that
the man who defeats the False Antichrist is the true Messiah.

Understanding the Rapture from a strictly Biblical Perspective
The Enemy has managed to cause a great deal of confusion among
Christians regarding the Rapture (harpazo) of the church. Rather than
examining the passages of Scripture which speak of the Rapture, many
professing Christians have chosen instead to give credence to the sceptics
and their garbled version of the Rapture doctrine. In this paper we take a
journey through the passages concerned and show the glorious validity
of the Rapture. [Posted 18/08/2011]
