About this title

Synopsis

Many Christians follow the popular pretribulation rapture view. They expect that Jesus will rescue them "just-intime" before the tribulations of the Antichrist. However, few people realize that every single biblical promise of being raptured at that time is conditional on personal spiritual readiness. Eminent Christian leaders such as A.B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, as well as Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, first taught this biblical perspective of a conditional rapture.

In their captivating account, the authors take their readers on a fascinating journey through the pages of the Bible, showing how biblical prophecies from Daniel to Revelation point toward not just one but two raptures: a conditional first fruits rapture for the ready "wise virgins" of the church, and a later rapture for "foolish virgin" believers who are spiritually unprepared. 

Based on rigorous biblical exegesis and established conservative scholarship, the authors systematically examine inconsistencies within the pretribulational rapture doctrine. They point out how these contradictions can be resolved through a two-fold rapture, which draws on insights from the increasingly popular pre-wrath rapture position. Packed with fresh scriptural insights, this book will prepare and equip you for the times ahead!
