    About this ebook

    Much has been written and taught about the coming of Christ for His Church. Unfortunately, most of our modern day teachings on this most important doctrine are misleading, to say the very least. Bill Vincent has studied for years and now is releasing his findings in this book, Rapture Revelations. A careful scrutiny of the Scriptures will reveal the truth about the second coming of Christ, which we generally refer to as "the rapture". In Rapture Revelations, he has set out to correct the most obvious errors of the pre-tribulation doctrine and to establish the basic foundation for understanding the truth of the matter. Great care is taken to follow the guidelines of Scripture and the Biblical basis of doctrinal interpretation, precept upon precept and line upon line. This is the only method of interpretation used in the pages of Rapture Revelations. Since God Himself revealed His method of understanding doctrine, it is believed by the author to be the best method to use. Therefore, with Bible in hand, follow along with the Scriptures quoted and see if you don't find truth within its pages. In Rapture Revelations, Bill answers questions that many do not know the answers to. Be open and allow this page-turner to open up the biggest controversial subject of the rapture of Jesus Christ. If you are a lover of truth, you will enjoy this very basic presentation of Biblical facts concerning the doctrine of the "gathering together" of Christ's saints unto Himself.

      These Events Must Precede the Rapture

      Introduction

      Much has been written and taught about the coming of Christ for His Church. Unfortunately, most of our modern day teachings on this most important doctrine are misleading to say the very least. A careful scrutiny of the Scriptures will reveal the truth about the second coming of Christ, which we generally refer to as the rapture.

      In this book I have set out to correct the most obvious errors of the pre-tribulation doctrine and to establish the basic foundation for understanding the truth of the matter. Great care is taken to follow the guidelines of Scripture and the Biblical basis of doctrinal interpretation, precept upon precept and line upon line. This is the only method of interpretation used in the pages of this book. Since God Himself revealed His method of understanding doctrine, it is believed by the author to be the best method to use. Therefore, with Bible in hand, follow along with the Scriptures quoted in this book and see if you don’t find truth within its pages.

      If you are a lover of truth, I believe you will enjoy this very basic presentation of Biblical facts concerning the doctrine of the gathering together of Christ’s saints unto Himself.

      The Resurrection of the Dead

      In order to understand the doctrine of the rapture, it is necessary to understand other doctrines of the Scriptures as well. We cannot comprehend any single doctrine without it being precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little.

      Isaiah 28:9, 10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.

      In studying the rapture, we must look at the entire Bible in order to come to a reasonable conclusion of the matter, rather than picking out isolated verses that seem to justify our particular view of this doctrine. In order to teach the doctrine of the rapture according to the integrity of the Word, we must be able to prove the doctrine with all the available verses of Scripture, not just a few. One of the biblical doctrines that we must know in order to understand the rapture is the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead. Why is the resurrection of the dead so important to comprehending the rapture and the events that must take place prior to it? Simply because the Bible states that the dead in Christ will precede those of us who are alive and remain.

      1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

      If the dead in Christ must rise first before the believers who are alive at His coming are changed, then it should be of great interest to us to search out the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.

      For example, how many resurrections of the dead are recorded in the Bible? By resurrection of the dead I mean the mass resurrections of the dead, one of which will immediately precede the rapture, not individual resurrections or translations such as Lazarus, Enoch, or Elijah.

      It is commonly taught in some circles that there are as many as nine resurrections of the dead. This is an elaborate scheme to defame the Holy Scriptures in an attempt to justify false teaching concerning the rapture. The dead in Christ who will be raised at the rapture are referred to in the Scriptures as the resurrection of the just.

      The resurrection of the just is indeed that resurrection of the dead in Christ that occurs immediately before the rapture.

      There is much confusion in the Church today as to when Jesus is coming back for His bride. The three most common doctrines that are being taught are the pre-tribulation rapture, Jesus coming before the Great Tribulation, which according to this line of thought is a period of seven years, the mid-tribulation rapture, occurring in the middle of the seven year period known as the seventieth week of Daniel and the post-tribulation rapture which occurs after the entire seven year period has elapsed. One of the greatest stumbling blocks concerning the doctrine of the rapture is a lack of understanding of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.

      If we can know for certain when the resurrection of the just, also known as the first resurrection occurs, then we can know with greater certainty when the rapture occurs in relation to the seven year period of time known as The Seventieth Week of Daniel. Let’s take a look at the resurrection of the dead according to the Bible.

      John 5:28, 29 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

      Acts 24:14, 15 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

      Luke 14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

      In searching the Scriptures we can find only two mass resurrections of the dead. They are referred to as the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust. They are also referred to as the first and second, or final resurrection.

      Revelations 20:4-6 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

      In investigating these verses of Scripture, understanding that according to the Bible there are but two mass resurrections of the dead, we can easily conclude that the rapture takes place AFTER the great tribulation, considering the fact that those who took part in the first resurrection were in the earth during the time of the rule of anti-Christ, proven by the fact that they did not receive his mark, nor did they worship him. Just how many were there that came out of this great tribulation?

      Revelations 7:9-14 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to
