book excerpt

This e-book originated with the written texts behind my twenty-four, half-hour radio broadcasts of the series titled "The Mid-Week Rapture." I improved the written texts by adding bold (all of the key Bible passages are in bold lettering), underlining, and italics, which makes this e-book easier to read, and I made some other improvements in the content, including adding a Chronological Chart at the end of the e-book. The chart is essentially the equivalent to the fold-out Chronological Chart at the end of my paperback book, "The Mid-Week Rapture: A Verse-by-Verse Study of Key Prophetic Passages." The paperback book is available on amazon.com The primary goal for these twenty-four articles was to discuss the most important Bible passages that enable us see that the Lord Jesus will return, and the rapture will take place, right in the middle of the seven-year period that is sometimes called Daniel's 70th week (based on Daniel 9:24-27). The articles in this e-book present the scriptural basis for the mid-week rapture rather thoroughly, and they serve as a good introduction for my paperback book, "The Mid-Week Rapture," which contains a large amount of information not contained in this e-book. (For example, the paperback book contains verse-by-verse studies of Psalm 110; Daniel 2:31-45; Daniel chapters 7, 8, 9, 12; and Zechariah chapters 9-14; and an eight page discussion that goes with the Chronological Chart that is included in the back of the paperback book and at the end of this e-book.) I frequently quoted from the paperback book in the twenty-four articles of this e-book. As I mentioned, this e-book focuses on the most important passages of the Bible that enable us to understand the mid-week rapture. There is a strong emphasis on passages from the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation is God's last word in the Bible on the details of the end of this age, and it is packed with those details. It contains very much information that was not included in the prophetic passages that had been given before that super-important revelation was given to the apostle John (and through him to us) about AD 95. I should mention that there are some major differences of interpretation, including some of the key passages which are referred to, among those teaching the mid-week rapture. Now that this e-book is available, it should be read before the paperback book. It summarizes the scriptural basis for the mid-week rapture, and is easier to read. Those who are interested in this topic and like this e-book will want to go on to read the much more extensive paperback book.
