The Return

Will millions of Christians suddenly vanish someday?

A careful investigation of the rapture theory which forms the basis for the Left Behind fantasy reveals that Scripture does not teach a secret coming of Christ. The authors explore the checkered history of Cyrus Scofield editor of the famous Scofield Reference Bible and show how the rapture theory originated in ecstatic visions and utterances in Scotland around 1830.

But what does the Bible really teach about the end? A careful analysis of Revelation suggests that the Second Coming will be preceded by a worldwide coalition of respected religious organizations that will lead the world into an overwhelming delusion.

The authors wrestle with such questions as:
* Is there a mysterious 'gap' in the 70-week prophecy of Daniel 9?
* Were the promises to Israel conditional?
* How will the final events play out in America?
* Who is the antichrist?

The future may not be kind to the uninformed. Exposing the deliberate cover-up of Bible teaching about last-day events and the return of Jesus this book will give the reader a working understanding of Bible prophecy.
