Paperback available at Amazon Online Book Sources Paperback at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999204807 Kindle Edition: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073SLTDPW RECLAIMING THE RAPTURE: Restoring the Doctrine of the Gathering on the Commonwealth of Israel Another Fall rapture frenzy will carry prophecy watchers through what has become an annual roller-coaster ride of emotions. Can these life rending cycles of prophetic expectation be what Christ had in mind when He told His disciples to “watch?”  Authors Douglas Hamp and Chris Steinle have discovered a healthier view of the rapture based on extensive Bible prophecy and a literal interpretation of the Scriptures. It's time to rethink the timing and purpose of the rapture. The rapture was prophesied from Genesis to Revelation. Why have dozens of rapture prophecies been overlooked by mainstream theology? Explore the ancient texts and discover God's clear and consistent revelation of end time events. End-times Bible prophecy is like a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle partially done. Many godly people have come before us and have spent a great deal of effort establishing the borders of the puzzle. Parts of the faces and the landscape are taking form, yet without the box cover showing the finished product, no one really knows how it ought to look entirely assembled. The timing of the rapture is a puzzle-piece incorrectly placed. Many times, teachers will begin with the assumption that the timing of the rapture is fixed and non-negotiable. They then demand that the rest of the end times scenario fit that assumption. *Explore dozens of verses that clearly state the timing of the rapture.   *Understand the logic behind Paul's eschatology.     *Learn why God's indignation, the rapture, and the Second Coming are all part of the Day of the Lord.   *Enjoy dramatic vignettes from the Millennium Chronicles that bring Bible prophecies to life.   *Consider the connection between the rapture and the promised redemption of the body.   *Discover God's plan to gather the Commonwealth of Israel, and how the Gathering applies to the Church.   *See why Paul insisted the dead must rise before the rapture.   *Know the biblical signs that will precede the return of Jesus.   *Includes four charts and three vignettes to showcase the authors' conclusions.   Follow Douglas Hamp and Chris Steinle on their quest to solve the Bible's end time rapture puzzle.
