Apocalypse Rising

We have entered into a phase of human history in which the things that the word of God teaches regarding the events of the end of this age are coming true right before our eyes. The Bible is as relevant today as it has ever been, and this present generation of believers is privileged to live in these times, and to be able to observe what is clearly unfolding before us. So it is my conviction that believers need to know what the Bible teaches about these end-time events, so that they can prepare themselves for what is coming, and, by continuing to observe events as they happen in the world, they can be ready for the coming of the Lord for his bride, the believing church. He is coming very soon! Part 1 of this book deals with the rapture which is the next great event prophesied in the Scriptures which will happen to the believing worldwide Body of Christ. It is presented from a pre-tribulation viewpoint for the many reasons which are given within these pages. My desire is not to create controversy with those who may believe differently, but rather to simply present my own deeply held convictions on this matter. The teaching of eschatology (i.e. teaching about the end-times), is neglected in too many churches in our generation, especially in UK. And this therefore leaves many believers woefully ignorant about many things which they ought to know and understand. So Part 2 has been written not just to inform you as the reader of what lies just ahead, it is an exhortation to prepare yourself, by getting right with God through the gospel message of Christ and living a life that pleases him. Time is short, and we need to focus on that which is worthwhile for eternity, rather than simply allowing our time to be consumed and our life wasted by almost non-stop trivia which is of no eternal value. To live on the watchtower is to carry responsibility. It is to warn people, by blowing the trumpet and sounding the alarm, so that sleeping believers and those who do not yet know Christ can wake up and respond accordingly. To be forewarned is to be forearmed: the apocalypse is rising!
