BOOK ONE:
The Final Countdown: Nearing the Rapture delivers a thought-provoking exploration of biblical prophecy and historical patterns, emphasizing the undeniable urgency of the approaching Rapture. Through four pivotal topics—the 7,000-year timeline of mankind, the prophetic significance of the fig tree parable, the profound insights of Hosea 6:2, and the striking convergence of signs—this book presents a compelling biblical perspective on the unfolding end-times narrative. Whether you’re a seasoned scholar or a seeker of truth, this analysis will challenge your understanding and deepen your anticipation for what lies ahead.

BOOK TWO:
The Rapture will be the most anticipated coming event in the history of humanity. 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.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.

BOOK THREE:
Ten Major Signs of the Lord’s Return in Our Generation. Since the return of Israel to their land and nationhood in May of 1948, many Bible scholars have come to believe that we are at the end of the church age and that the Rapture of the church is imminent. Jesus said, “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled” (Matt. 24:32-34). Are we that generation?

Revelation In One Hour https://larrycockerham.com/books/revelation-in-one-hour/ https://larrycockerham.com/books/revelation-in-one-hour/#respond Mon, 09 Dec 2024 21:47:54 +0000 https://larrycockerham.com/?post_type=books&p=374 Revelation In One Hour

A recent Gallup poll finds that American adults are reading fewer books each year: Americans say they read an average of 12.6 books during the past year, a smaller number than Gallup has measured in any prior survey dating back to 1990.

It takes a little over an hour to read 10,000 words at 150 words per minute. This is considered slow. Fast is 325 words per minute and would take you 40 minutes, but I would assume you would want to absorb as much of the material as possible.

Considering the times that we’re living in, I feel that the importance of the Book of Revelation cannot be overstated. Therefore, the reason for this small booklet. Are there better works? More complete works? Definitely, but will we take the time to read them?
