In the “twinkling of an eye” – millions of people will disappear, which to the bewilderment of the anxious people left behind.Prophecy Expert, Larry Cockerham meticulously guides readers through the various stages of The Rapture in this insightful book. With explanations that are strongly backed up by Scripture from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, Cockerham illustrates the six stages and types of the Rapture, the Tribulation (a time of God’s wrath and judgement upon “them that dwell on the earth”), and how the Judgement of all souls is inevitable and impending; the souls of the true believers shall be saved, while the non-believers will face their doomed fate.“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2Co 5:10)
Christ’s Church is exempt from this Tribulation; its believers are metaphorically represented as the ‘bride’ and Christ is pictured as the ‘bridegroom’ who’s saving grace is waited upon with anticipation and devotion. The final stages follow the description of the Marriage of the Lamb, where Christ and the Church wed in a spiritual ceremony between the Rapture and the return of Christ to the earth. Then finally laying out the foundations of the Eternal Home, and how a believer shall gain entrance to The New Jerusalem and the grand plan of Salvation. “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband” (Rev. 21:1-2)
