I believe that the Bible is the word of God. I also believe that very little is ever talked about the rapture by pastors and preachers which is why I started my blog. All I wanted to know was everything the Bible says and it is a lot. What is it, why is it, who gets taken, who gets left, why are some taken and some left, etc. So then you have to understand what is the purpose of the tribulation, what is the overall goal of God, what does this seven year period accomplish, etc. Then there are other topics that stand out as essential, what is the apostasy, what causes some to depart from the word of God, what are the symptoms, what are the signs, same with False prophets, false teachers, how do you recognize them, how do you respond to them, what are their tactics, what is their strategy, And then you have to know who the players are, who is the Great Babylon, who is the Assyrian, are the armies of Armageddon a coalition? Why do they all serve Antichrist. I could go on.
