Ch 12 Who Gets Raptured? - The Great Disappearance

The Rapture will be restricted only to those – living or dead – who carry the passport called Christ.
We’ve explored the “what” and “why” of the Rapture in many ways and from many angles throughout these pages. Yet it would be a mistake for us to ignore the “who.” Meaning, who will take part in the Rapture? Who will be “caught up” with Christ during that future event?
The answer: not everyone. The Rapture will be restricted only to those – living or dead – who carry the passport called Christ.
I know such a claim clashes with the values and norms of our culture. It’s becoming more and more dangerous to even hint that only certain people will experience eternal life. But that’s exactly why it’s important for us to have a solid understanding of this issue. You could say this chapter explores the apologetics of the Rapture – we’ll examine both the reality of and the reasons for the restrictions connected to the Rapture.

Ch 11 Five Other Raptures - The Great Disappearance

Another Chapter Reading with Andi and Brian Hale...
One day soon the followers of Christ will be transported to another world in the twinklin of an eye. They’ll vanish from this world and appear with the Lord in glory.
The Bible calls this the Rapture.
While most Christians are familiar with the Rapture of the church – the future moment when Christ will gather His church from the earth to meet Him in the clouds – many are unaware ther are other raptures mentioned in Scripture.
Five other “disappearances” are recorded: those of Enoch, Elijah, Jesus Christ, Paul and two individuals who will appear during the Tribulation.
Let’s take a biblical tour of these vanished victors as we read through chapter 11 of The Great Disappearance by Dr. David Jeremiah

Ch 10 The Rapture - The Great Disappearance

The Rapture, the moment believers disappear from the earth in a moment. Imagine how officials will try to explain the spontaneous disappearance of millions or even billions of people. How will the governments explain it? What conspiracy theories will grip the popular imagination? what panic will haunt the hearts of those left on earth?
LISTEN IN as Brian and Andi review chapter 10 of Dr. David Jeremiah’s book, The Great Disappearance.

Ch 9 Extreme Makeover – The Great Disappearance

Wouldn’t we all like to have “the perfect body”? Im not interested in looking amazing, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a body that never broke down? One that wasn’t plagued by the imperfections of age and ailments, sickness and senility?
Here’s some wonderful news: if you are a follower of Jesus, you will receive such a body! At some point in the future, you will upgrade your current model to one that is top-of-the-lilne in every respect!

Ch 8 The Mysteries – The Great Disappearance

The Bible is filled with mysteries – though not the type we find in novels.
When you find the word mystery in the Bible, it always describes something God has waited until the right time to tell us. These truths or realities have always existed – they have always been part of God’s plan – yet were only disclosed at a specific point in history.
Biblical mysteries are an important part of the New Testament. The word mystery occurs twenty-six times from Matthew to Revelation (it’s found nowhere in the Old Testament). These mysteries are theological truths connected to salvation, the church, God’s kingdom, and other important topics.
Listen in as Brian and Andi read through 5 specific mysteries in chapter 8 of The Great Disappearance by Dr David Jeremiah.
