Two former Pre-Trib pastors share what the Bible really says about the rapture. Does the popular Pre-Tribulation rapture story fit into the Bible's larger end time puzzle? Authors Douglas Hamp and Chris Steinle believe it's time to rethink the timing and purpose of the rapture. The rapture was prophesied from Genesis to Revelation. Why have these prophecies been overlooked by mainstream theology? If the Church must be removed for God to deal with the Jews, why did Paul consider Gentile Christians as fellow citizens in the Commonwealth of Israel? Will God divide the kingdom that Jesus died to unite? Or will the gathering include the entire Household of God?

Chris is a recognized Bible prophecy commentator as a guest and co-host on alternative media. C.W. Steinle began his professional career as a CPA because of his knack for organizing information. Many Christian theologians and prophecy scholars have backgrounds in law, accounting, and business. For Christians who believe the Bible to be God-breathed, the ability to gather information and draw correlations is crucial for rightly dividing the Word of God.
