About this ebook
CHRISTIANS, UNPACK YOUR BAGS! You’re Here for the Duration.
In contrast to a pre-tribulation rapture—the belief that Christians will be taken up to the clouds to be with Jesus prior to a seven-year period of tribulation and judgment for those left behind—Christians, Unpack Your Bags! argues that believers will not be removed from the world prior to the end of the age. Using the parable of the weeds in Matthew 13 as its basis, and then examining hundreds of other verses, it maintains that the end-time prophecies in the Bible were meant to be warnings to Christians that they will not escape the troubles and trials that lie ahead. By noting the recurring imagery in end-times prophecies, it concludes that Christians will witness or experience nearly every event typically associated with the end times. It also concludes that there are at least three separate accounts of the return of Jesus in the book of Revelation.
