Because of the times, it is natural to discuss areas of Eschatology (study of End Times). So many events and situations seem to point to the fact that the Tribulation period is right around the corner. During discussions, all aspects of the End Times are routinely examined, including the timing of the Rapture, the arrival of the Antichrist, the Millennial Reign of Jesus, the coming Gog-Magog (Attempted) Invasion of Israel, and the list goes on. However, one of the problems with discussing areas of Eschatology is that once a person adopts a particular viewpoint about the Rapture for instance, the discussions can quickly turn into quarrels. As the quarrels continue to rage, the one thing that the Church was called to do - the Great Commission - seems to fall by the wayside. Christians (and non-Christians alike) seem to spend a good amount of time talking about, and attempting to convince others of, a specific Eschatological viewpoint they themselves have embraced. Let's face it, the more people we find who agree with us, the better we feel about a particular position we hold...whether it turns out to be correct or not. While Eschatological discussions will always be part of the landscape, Christians should never lose sight of the real assignment at hand. Jesus commissioned us to preach the Gospel throughout all the world. While we should not ignore studying prophecy related to the End Times, is it possible we may have become sidetracked? This book is a REISSUE of the previously released "DEATH OR RAPTURE..." with a new cover and title. The contents are the same so if you already have DEATH OR RAPTURE, you do need to buy this book. If you want more copies of DEATH OR RAPTURE, you will need to buy copies of THIS book since DEATH OR RAPTURE is being discontinued with the publication of this book.
