Of all the biblical doctrines to be searched out, eschatology is, by far, the most complex. There are seven principal views, five involving a rapture at some point and two rejecting the idea together. This book is written from the pre-tribulation rapture viewpoint. It is not so much a defense of this view as it is an assessment of the multitude of events, and meanings (or purposes) of these events. it is the author's persuasion that there should be many corrections made. not the framework but to the many corrections and alternations to some long-held views. The reader is urged to search the Scriptures without bias to see whether these things are so.
