No doubt, all of us have some garments
which tend to wrinkle more than others.
I can think of linen and cotton, which
require some pressing, starch or dry
cleaning to solve the problem.
In the area of eschatology, it may
be wise to ask, “Does Your Rapture
Ready Garment Have Wrinkles?”
We’ve pointed out a couple of the
wrinkles in the Rapture teaching
advanced by “Charting the End Times.
With all the charting in the book, it never addressed the “little while” time parameter of the end! Note the following passages.
John 16:16–19
A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, ...

One of the most important elements of events is time, i.e.
when is that event going to occur. Everything in life is an
event in that everything occurs or exists in time.
What Did Charting the End Times Miss on the Rapture of
the Church? One of the most important elements of the
event, —time.
Charting the End Times, a very graphically pleasing book
of charts on eschatology authored by Tim Lahaye and
Thomas Ice, devotes a chapter on the Rapture. It is there
purpose to “chart” the time of the end, i.e. when the last days
events will occur. They begin with several points on the events of the ...

Resurrection in 1 Thessalonians 4: Are We Who Are ...

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, incites emotionally
charged discussions about the resurrection
and the rapture.
Students of John Nelson Darby, credited
with popularizing modern Dispensationalism
cite the text as incontrovertible proof of
the Rapture.
However, these exegetes (scripture
interpreters) violate hermeneutic principles
in their application of the text.
The following demonstrate some of the
errors glossed over by futurists and pre-
tribulation rapture advocates. Resurrection in 1 Thessalonians 4: Are We Who Alive Dead?, addresses the specific audience of the text.
The problem with most interpreters on the Lord's return is that they read themselves versus the audience into the text. We show this
as a faulty premise.
