What I hope you’ll gain from my blog

I have a lot more to share with you and may someday write a small group study to compliment this book.  But, for now I’d prefer just to sit down and share with you every few days from the heart by way of a blog post.

Once Christians understand that they won’t be whisked away before the trouble begins, they are often at a loss as to what to do next.

While my book focuses on proving a Post Tribulation Rapture using scriptures, the blog is more about preparing spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally for the difficult days to come.  I touch on preparation briefly in my book, but the blog posts are more specific.

The purpose of these posts is to answer the less theological questions, the ones that trigger emotions, sometimes anger, but always a deeper examination of one’s faith.  While the journey is a bit different for everyone, it seems everyone that sincerely studies the timing of the rapture has an emotional reaction as they discover what the scriptures really say about the subject. 

Dave McPhereson dedicated much of his life to researching the origin of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine and wrote extensively on the subject over the years. Many authors have written good books accurately presenting the scriptures that successfully argue for the Post Tribulation Rapture doctrine.  Surprisingly, however, there is nothing available explaining the internal struggles, emotionally and mentally that many Christians experience when confronted with the truth of God’s Word. 

For me, getting answers to my questions was only the first phase. Renewing my mind (Romans 12:2) and adjusting my beliefs to line up with God’s Word (James 1:22-24) took longer. This involved not just looking at scriptures but examining what I believed and why I believed it. My reasons for embracing certain beliefs were not always clear to me!

It took time, but once I aligned both my heart and my head with God’s Word and surrendered my will to His, there was a deep trust that developed and an unexplainable confidence in God’s love for me.  Peace and joy took the place of consternation and fear.  Anxiety took a backseat to a deep desire to finish the race strong.

I took this journey alone, but I don’t want you to, and that is the reason for this blog.
