The bible declares that there is coming an event in which people all over the earth will suddenly disappear into thin air off the face of the earth and into Heaven. After this event, global judgment will strike the earth in a seven year horrific period called "The Great Tribulation" as described in the book of Revelation and other places. This event is commonly known as the "Rapture." J.R. Church and Gary Stearman discuss this event found in the book of 1 Thessalonians. As we approach the last of the last days before this event occurs, it becomes very important for each and every person to understand the ramifications of this event and their own personal destiny in relation to it.
