I was a little bit, disappointed in the fact that this book was totally about comparing the three rapture theories… Pre-trib, mid trib, and post trib. It was a very detail comparison of those Three concepts… And basically proved the pre-trib idea as the logical choice.

However, I was hoping to learn a few more fun theoretical details about the rapture… And not so much a comparison of the three types. Still a good read… And the very quick read.

Are you wondering when the Rapture will happen? Have you heard conflicting theories about where it falls in the timeline of Revelation events? May I point you to this book as a place to start getting answers to those questions and others? Ryle takes the Word of God and carefully compares it with the three leading theories about the timing of the Rapture. By the end you will know where the author stands and what I also believe Scripture teaches.
I would strongly recommend it to every Christian.

Heard about it on the Jack Hibbs podcast so I knew I needed to get it. It is very easy to understand, yet does not withhold from the important topics which can be very hard to describe. This book is Pre-Trib centered, but the late author describes Post-Trib views as well. He is coming quickly 🤍

Interesting comparison of pre mid and post tribulation periods. Interesting read, short book but took my time reading a chapter each day or so to digest his thoughts.
