Replacing the Rapture Ponce Leon

Rapture or Great Commission? Which Leads to God's Victorious Plan for the Church?The Church finds itself in a time of growing pressure and persecution. The constant onslaught of attacks against doctrinal truths not accepted in a culture that embraces sin and opposes God, has caused the Church to withdraw from the public arena, politics, schools and even to compromise the messages preached in Church services. The battle is raging and when the Church should be prevailing, Christians constantly talk about retreating. Retreating from the public arena, politics, schools and also retreating from the earth in the rapture. Why does the Church embrace a defeatist and escapist mentality? Is it because the Church has embraced a doctrine which has sold the idea that this world is getting worse and nothing can be done but wait for Jesus to rapture the Church out of the earth. Is this the truth? Is the rapture a part of God's end time road map which guides the Church to its divine destination of victory, or is the rapture a detour which is leading the Church to defeat?This book exposes the truth about the rapture and answers vital questions like: Does the Bible teach the rapture?Does 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 verify the rapture?Are the righteous taken in the rapture while the wicked are left behind?Did the early Church and the early Church fathers teach the rapture?Is the rapture part of God's plan or does He have something else in mind namely the Great Commission?Get the answer to these questions and more as the rapture doctrine is measured against the scriptures
