Product Description
by Michael Rickman (Author)
There is considerable debate related to the Rapture of the Bride of Christ. Will Jesus catch-up His Bride prior to the beginning of the Tribulation, or will the Bride endure the Tribulation and be punished with the world to be purified and tested? God has two purposes for the Tribulation Period: Instruct Israel and the world and punish Israel and the world. In addition, to discussing the Prewrath and Pretrib positions, this book will provide information to answer the main driving question in this book: "How did we get here from there?" One position is rooted in speculation, flawed hermeneutical systems, and results in heresy; the other is founded on two principles of absolute truth that are found in Genesis Chapter 18 and First Timothy 5:8. The reader is encouraged to appeal to the Holy Spirit to reveal which one is the truth and which one is not. Dr. Rickman is a stripper's son and was taught every dysfunctional habit a mother could teach her son. Through God's help, he overcame many obstacles which have been detailed in his book The Stripper's Son. Dr. Rickman takes no credit as he fully knows that God performed the work and deserves the credit. All praise and glory must go to the Lord. Dr. Rickman possesses three degrees from accredited universities, has pastored four churches, and is currently a missionary to Thailand. Dr. Rickman has authored more than 20 books publishing three and has been working as a freelance editor for the Buriram University in Buriram, Thailand. While there are no experts in the field of theology specifically eschatology, Dr. Rickman labored for just under five years to produce this work hoping to expose error and teach truth related to the Pretribulational Rapture of the church.
