If you currently believe in the pre-Tribulation teaching, but have an open mind – you need to read this book. Much of the Christian Church seems to have fallen for the deception that is the pre-Tribulation rapture teaching. Jesus warned us to watch out that no one deceived us (Matthew 24:4). Yet we see that many Christians may be left unprepared to face the coming tribulation, because they are caught up in the belief that Christians will be caught up in a secret rapture, prior to the Tribulation and the appearance of the Antichrist.
Brown and Keener begin by describing their personal journeys from this belief to their understanding of what the Bible actually teaches about the return of Jesus. They explain that proponents of the pre-tribulation theory have to add to the scriptures to make it say what they claim – that no Bible verses explicitly state their claims. Whereas, plain reading of the scriptures states that the rapture only occurs when Jesus returns in the Second Coming and that we are caught up in the clouds to meet Him, as He approaches the earth, with all the tribes of Earth able to see His approach. Brown and Keener also explain that Christians in many countries have already been seeing persecution and even martyrdom and they contrast that with the Western Church expecting to be rescued before serious persecution comes to the Western Church. In their book they are careful to refrain from divisiveness with those that hold to the pre-tribulation position. It’s sad to see some notable Christians, who hold to pre-Tribulation, attacking those that differ with them. It should not divide us. However, I see great danger in the belief, as many Christians stand to be deceived by an Antichrist they were never expecting to encounter – with him deceiving, if possible, even the elect (Matthew 24:24).
And sadly, much of the Church has fallen to erroneous beliefs such as the pre-Tribulation teaching. Indeed, many subscribe to believing that Israel is left behind, to face the Antichrist alone – the time of Jacob’s Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) – whilst the Church is in Heaven with Jesus. That the Church escapes persecution and that Israel is left to face the Antichrist alone is not supported in the Bible and in fact the opposite is taught – see Revelation 13 as an example. This appears to be an insidious form of antisemitism. God has not abandoned His people (Psalm 94:14 and Romans 11:2). Joel 3 describes the reason for the Second Coming - God will judge the nations for dispersing His people – His Heritage Israel amongst the nations and for diving His land.
Brown and Keener go on to explain in detail the flaws in the pre-Tribulation claims and they finish their excellent book by describing how Christians can face the Tribulation – reminding us that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ and challenging us to live fully committed to Christ. If we abide in His Word (and His word alone), we will be His disciples indeed, And we will know the truth and the truth will set us free (John 8:31-33).

About the author
Relevant and Timely
Excellent content but the book was not bound properly. I had to use a knife to separate each of the first 32 pages. Drs. Brown and Keener are true scholars. Their writing never disappoints.
