Rossing persuasively argues that there is neither a 'rapture' nor a 'count down to Armageddon' in the Scriptures.

Synopsis
The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed , Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community., The idea of "The Rapture"--the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth--is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books.

    Purchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.

  • Filled with assumptions and bias.

    I fully expected the author to provide biblical evidence to prove her points. She does not. The evidence she gives from the Bible is highly questionable with her interpretation based on her assumptions and bias. This book was a huge disappointment. But it is a contrasting viewpoint that needs to be studied in order that one can identify the logical fallacies presented in this viewpoint. Forewarned is forearmed.

  • The Rapture exposed

    The only thing really exposed was the writers religious bias. the historical facts presented were accurate, however the writers personal convictions rooted in in her own religious leanings overshadowed the scholarship intended. Too many opinions stated without biblical proofs.
