The questions on the cover are some you might be
asking if you miss the first phase of the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, called THE
RAPTURE. WHAT IS THE RAPTURE? This is when Jesus
Christ comes for His saints, those who have by
faith completely trusted the eternity of their
souls to His saving power with nothing else added.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ
shall arise first Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so
shall we ever be with the Lord.I THESSALONIANS
416-17 WILL YOU BE LEFT BEHIND? Those left
behind will cry out for help and comfort.
Questions will rise in every heart. Where did the
Christians go? One man, Satans soul-incarnate,
the antichrist will have all the answers.
The Second Coming, Fellowship Tract League
5
Even him, whose coming is after the working of
Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in
them that perish because they received not the
love in truth, that they might be saved. And for
this cause God shall send them a strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie That they all
might be damned who believe not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness.II
THESSALONIANS 29-12 THE GREAT TRIBULATION Peace
will reign for 3 1/2 years. Then, in this time
called The Great Tribulation in Rev. 714, all of
Gods judgment will be meted out on this world as
Satans emissaries, the beast, the antichrist,
and the false prophets wreak havoc on mankind.

Revelation 16 records 7 great judgments poured
out on a God-forsaking world and its Satanic
leaders! Putrifying painful sores, seas of
deadmens blood, rivers filled with blood, and
the stench of dying aquatic life will plague man
and beast. The sun will scorch the flesh of
blasphemous man, and then disappear into the
blackness of full darkness, as men gnaw their
tongues for pain. The Euphrates River is dried up
and God sends great earthquakes, tremendous
thundering, and lightnings, as huge hail stones
pound the remnant of earths inhabitants. It is
done, thunders from heaven as Gods wrath is
satisfied.

THE SECOND COMING And then, the second phase of
Christs Second Coming transpires! the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. I
THESSALONIANS 313b. He comes and defeats the
armies of the Anti-christ. The Lord Jesus will
then reign for 1000 years! You say, I just cant
believe it. Ive so many questions. Lets allow
Gods word to answer them for you. WHEN WILL THE
RAPTURE TAKE PLACE? SOON! for in such as hour
as ye think not the Son of man cometh. MATTHEW
2444b But of that day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father
only. MATTHEW 2436

WILL IT AFFECT ME? YES! Then shall two be in the
field the one shall be taken, and the other
left. MATTHEW 2440. If you miss the rapture you
will be left behind to go through the Great
Tribulation, then , as a deluded non-believer,
you will end up in hell for all eternity. HOW CAN
IT BE TRUE? JESUS SAID SO! I will come again,
and receive you unto myself that where I am,
there ye may be also. JOHN 143b. Jesus would
not lie. He promised to come again, and He will,
for those who are ready, THE SAVED.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? REPENT-BELIEVE-BE
SAVED!! Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sin may be blotted out, ACTS 319a
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved, and thy house. ACTS 1631b For by
grace are ye saved through faith and that not of
yourselves it is the gift of God EPHESIANS 28.

Premillennialism

• Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins have struck a
  gold mine with this false doctrine.

(Newsweek, May 24, 2004) Their Biblical
techno-thrillers about the end of the world are
currently outselling Stephen King, John Grisham
and every other pop novelist in America.
The 12th and final installment, called Glorious
Appearing, has the return of Jesus, the battle
of Armageddon and the Judgment. It sold almost 2
million copies even before its March publication
its still tied for No. 2 on the New York Times
list which doesnt count sales at Christian
bookstores.

Premillennialism

• Primary Teachings
• Christ intended to establish His kingdom when He
  came to earth the first time, but the Jews
  rejected Him. God then postponed the kingdom
  until a later date and established the church in
  its place.
• Christ is not now reigning on Davids throne, but
  will reign on his literal throne in Jerusalem in
  Palestine on this literal Earth for a literal
  1000 years.
• Israel will be nationally converted and restored
  to the land of Palestine. The lost ten tribes,
  or the Old Testament northern kingdom of Israel,
  will be gathered out of the nations when Jesus
  establishes His earthly reign.

17
Premillennialism

• Primary Teachings
• The Jewish temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem
  to fulfill the OT prophecies concerning its
  reconstruction, and animal sacrifices will
  resume.
• The righteous dead will be raised at the
  beginning of the millennium and the wicked will
  be raised at the end. These two resurrections
  will be 1000 years apart.
• We are not yet in the last dispensation of time
  upon this earth. The 1000 year reign of Christ
  will be the last days and will finalize events
  here on earth.

• During the first 3 centuries after Christ a few
  church writers believed in the return of Christ
  to establish a 1000 year earthly kingdom (Justin
  Martyr, Irenaeus).
• Augustine argued for the a-millennial view and
  from 400 to 1700 A.D. it was the only view.
• John Darby (Plymouth Brethren) in 1830 began
  preaching dispensational premillennialism in
  America.
• William Miller (father of Adventism) predicted
  the end of the world in 1843. Numerous
  predictions have failed since.
• The Schofield Bible was published in 1909.
• Hal Lindsey wrote The Late Great Planet Earth
  in 1970, saying that Russia was the Antichrist.
• Nearly every Baptist seminary has been teaching
  dispensational premillennialism for over 40 years.
