Rapture: Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh!

The Rapture of the Church is a time when Jesus Christ comes back for his bride after preparing a place for us like he promised in John 14:1-3. This book examines what will take place when that event occurs. Just as there was hidden prophecies about Christ's first coming, should we be surprised there are hidden prophecies related to Jesus Christ's second coming? An example of this in the book of Ruth paints a picture of the return of the Jews coming back into their land shortly before the marriage of Jesus Christ and his church. Another hidden prophecy is a picture of the ten virgins, five wise and five foolish, hidden in the Song of Solomon. This story shows what will happen to those who are ready and those who are not. In the story of Leah and Rachel in Genesis, we see a picture of the church and Israel in the "End Times".

All of these hidden prophecies show the love Jesus has for his bride, the church, and his longing to return for her. As you read these pages, I hope you feel the heart beat of God as the nearness of the Rapture draws near.

This book examines the questions:
- Will all Christians be taken in the Rapture?
- How is Jesus' return like the "days of Noah"?
- How is Jesus' return like the "days of Lot"?
- How is the Rapture a picture of the ancient Jewish wedding customs?
- What is the hidden prophetic meaning of the number two?

My hope in your reading this book is that on the day the cry is made, "behold the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him" (Matthew 25:6, KJV), you will joyfully light your lamp and go out to meet him.
