Today I want to challenge a common misconception about the End Times—that the world will be in chaos when the Rapture occurs. In light of the remarkable peace negotiations happening around Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, we need to revisit what the Bible actually tells us. In 1 Thessalonians 5:1–3 Paul reveals that the Tribulation will begin when people are saying “peace and safety.” This means that rather than expecting global turmoil before the Rapture, we might actually see unprecedented peace efforts succeeding. The world could be living under the delusion that all is well when Christ suddenly returns for His Church.
In our Q&A portion, I address several thoughtful questions from subscribers. I explain the historical development of our BC/AD dating system and why Bible chronology appears to “count backward.” I recommend resources for those wanting to study the Bible more effectively despite not being avid readers. I also tackle a question about the pre-wrath Rapture view compared to the pre-Tribulation position, explaining why the entire seven-year Tribulation constitutes God's wrath. Finally, I clarify prophecies regarding Damascus and Elam (modern Iran), distinguishing between historical fulfillments and potential future events.

NEW: What’s Next? Preparing for the Rapture
Pastor Jimmy Evans and I have completed a new book in our What's Next? series titled Preparing for the Rapture. In this essential guide, we make a comprehensive biblical case for the Rapture of the Church happening before the 7-year Tribulation period. We explore key passages like 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation 3:10 that reveal the Rapture as the next prophetic event on God's calendar. This book answers common objections to a pre-Trib Rapture, examines the signs indicating its imminence, and shares important ways to w should spiritually prepare for meeting Jesus face-to-face. We also contrast the Rapture with the Second Coming, detailing what believers can expect at the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. With clarity and biblical insight, Preparing for the Rapture will equip you with truth and fill you with hope as we anticipate Christ's soon return.
