“For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little” (Isaiah 28:10 NKJV).
Isaiah’s counsel is clear: we should build our beliefs by comparing all of Scripture, not by isolating a verse or two. Yet when it comes to the rapture and a supposed seven-year tribulation, many Christians have done exactly that—embracing teachings that don’t stand up to careful, biblical investigation.
In Rapture Myths: Discover the Truth About the Return of Jesus Christ, Steve Wohlberg walks readers through the most commonly quoted “rapture texts” and tests them by their full context. With a simple, Bible-centered approach, he explores verses such as:
-
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 – What does it really mean to be “caught up” to meet the Lord in the air?
-
Matthew 24:40–41 – Who are the ones “taken” and who are “left,” and what was Jesus actually teaching?
-
1 Corinthians 15:51–52 – What happens “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,” and when does it happen?
Wohlberg then turns to the highly debated seventieth week of Daniel 9:27, showing how this prophecy has been stretched, rearranged, and misapplied to create the idea of a future seven-year tribulation that the Bible never explicitly teaches.
Along the way, readers will discover:
-
Why the Bible describes Christ’s return as loud, visible, and world-shaking—not secret or hidden
-
How popular “left behind” scenarios contradict straightforward Bible passages
-
How misinterpretations of prophecy distract from the central truth of Jesus’ soon, glorious return
-
Why Satan works so hard to surround Christ’s second coming with confusion and counterfeit expectations
Far from being a dry theological debate, Rapture Myths points readers back to the heart of prophecy: Jesus Himself. As you study “line upon line” with the author, you’ll exchange fear and speculation for solid confidence in what the Bible truly says about the return of Christ.
