The Rapture is real, and in this book we shall see how close it now must be if Peter and Paul are right when they provide us with the timeframe that God gave mankind to govern itself before the Lord’s Day arrives. The only ones who will be raptured to heaven before the Apocalypse are those who have been born again by the holy spirit since the Day of Pentecost in 30 CE, when this gift of God first became available. Everyone else will be left behind on earth for 3 ½ years, which is how long the Apocalypse will last before Christ returns to earth to save those who will turn to him during this period. The Book of Revelation has finally become what it has always been; and that is a book filled with revelations, and not a book of impenetrable mysteries, as it has been made out to be by so many. If we lay aside our private interpretations of this book and read it in light of the eschatological passages in the OT and the Gospels, it will become an open book. We shall also see that this masterpiece is divided into seven periods where the first six will last for about seven months each, while the last few weeks contain the most dramatic events in the whole book, first and foremost the Battle of Armageddon but also the great tribulation, which primarily takes place in Jerusalem before Jesus returns to defend the remnant of Israel who is attacked by the Beast. Surprising as it may be to those who have misunderstood what Jesus said about the impossibility to determine when these things would take place (Matthew 24:36), we know from Amos 3:7 that the information about when Jesus will return to earth has to have been made available in the pages of the Bible, and therefore also the information about when the Rapture must occur 3 ½ years earlier. I leave it to my readers to decide whether the premises I shall present here are true, but if they are, then the conclusions must be true also.
