THE "SECRET RAPTURE": Lift-off or Letdown? - Clayton D Steep - October-November 1981

Clayton D Steep

Some believe it will be the ultimate "great escape." And that it could take place at any moment. But what does the Bible say? Many an average person on the street may never have even heard of it until watching religious programs on television or reading the newspaper. The "rapture"? What's that? But large numbers of churchgoers in various religious denominations hear all about it often. They live in constant expectation of it. "Christ may come tonight and snatch the church away to heaven," the minister assures in revival meetings, in Sunday church services and on television. Such a snatching away or "rapture" of the church, it IS claimed, will be the next great prophetic event. And it may take place at any moment. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
