Ch 14 The Rapture Effect - The Great Disappearance

The Rapture must never become just an academic journey. The revelation in the New Testament of this future event is meant to encourage, challenge, and motivate us. If we really, truly comprehend the reality of the Rapture, it will change the way we go about life in the here and now.
Let’s look at four words that describe the Rapture effect – four words that will help you determine if you are rapture ready. Not just ready for the Rapture if it should happen today, but ready even if it does not happen in your lifetime.

Ch 13 The Reunion - The Great Disappearance

The Great Disappearance Ch 13
By Dr. David Jeremiah
Read by Andi and Brian Hale
"The Reunion"
The idea of family reunions is not new, of course. Eternity represents the grandest family reunion on could ever imagine.
The idea of family reunions is not new, of course. Bible students know we are all decendants of Adam and Ev and therefore all related. The human race as a whole is truly a worldwide family – a “Global Family”. But there is a difference between the world family and the family of God – those who are related to God by faith in Jesus Christ. For us, eternity represents the grandest family reunion on could ever imagine.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
‭‭1 THESSALONIANS‬ ‭4:16‭-‬18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

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!
Listen in as Brian and Andi read chapter 9 of the Great Disappearance by Dr. David Jeremiah.
