  DEDICATION

  To fellow believers in Christ who are looking

  forward to the rapture of the Church and

  want to share this Blessed Hope with

  their friends and relatives.

  FOREWORD

  Many people want to know what is going to happen in the future.

  The Bible outlines the events which will take place in the near future. Those future events spoken of in the book of The Revelation and those in Daniel will be fulfilled during the tribulation. We know there is no other prophecy that has to be fulfilled in order for Christ to rapture His Church. God wants everyone to be with Him in heaven some day. However, some will choose not to be with Him.

  This book describes events prior to and the 45 days following the rapture. My book is based on how I believe the world is being prepared for the coming tribulation. My guide was the Bible. I tried to stay as close to the Word as possible.

  The CHARACTERS in this book and the DATES are FICTITIOUS. No one knows the HOUR OR THE DAY when Christ will return for His children. Hopefully, you will enjoy reading this book and it will help you to prepare for that glorious day -- the day the Church is RAPTURED!

  PROLOGUE

  A trumpet sounded all through heaven and everyone knew what it meant. All of the immortals from the church age are supposed to appear at the Gathering Place. Once we were all there, Christ made His proclamation:

  “It is now time for you to teach about the times prior to the rapture and the seven-year tribulation. I am lifting the ban I imposed 300 years ago. You must tell them how the world was being prepared by the Antichrist and the False Prophet. Tell about the rapture and the 45-day lull period. When you start to tell them of the tribulation, I want you to let them know how bad it was on earth during that period of cruelty.

  "Remember, all the people who were alive at the start of the millennium were saved. They made it completely through the worst period in the history of the world. Many have been born since that time. They still have a choice to make during My Millennial reign as to whom they will accept. No matter where they are, when the Devil is let out of the pit, I don’t want any person to say they have never heard the story and they never had a chance to accept Me as their personal Savior. It is your job to tell them of that time and what they must do to be saved so they can enter the New Heavens and the New Earth which God, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and I will create.”
