The rapture is the central event in biblical prophecy. But what does it mean for us today? How can this crucial end times event draw us nearer to God in a world that is seemingly on the brink of chaos? Political turmoil, economic uncertainty, an ideological divide that feels increasingly impassable—the signs of the times point us toward the end, and that can be disconcerting.
But the greatest truth about the rapture is not its timing, but its reality—for blessed are all who long for His appearing.
The Great Disappearance is a culmination of decades of Dr. Jeremiah studying end times throughout the Bible. In this definitive volume he will explain the meaning of the word rapture, the difference between the rapture and the second coming, and the joy of expecting our Savior to come at any given moment. Dr. Jeremiah will also explore key questions such as:
Who will be raptured?When will it happen?What will happen to those left behind?What will believers experience when they are taken away to heaven?Will non-believers still have time to repent and be saved?
Dr. Jeremiah seeks to answer all of those questions and many more, not with sensationalism or stories ripped from the headlines but with solid, biblical truth. Because God has laid out His plan for us in His Word so that we might not be caught unaware. We may not know the exact date that the rapture will happen, but we do know it will happen. Are you ready for it?

"Jesus is coming... and I believe the wait is nearly over," declares Jeremiah (Where Do We Go From Here?), founder of broadcast ministry Turning Point for God, at the outset of this zealous exploration of God's "overall program... for the Last Days." Mining passages from Corinthians, Thessalonians, John, and more, Jeremiah breaks down the nitty-gritty of the "central event in biblical prophecy," including its timing (prior to the "tribulation," though the Bible cautions against calendar-date predictions), who will be raptured (only "believers in Jesus"), and how it differs from the second coming (the rapture marks the start of the "tribulation," while the second coming is "the moment Christ returns... to end the rebellion of the Antichrist"). Despite the somewhat misleading subtitle, there's not much here in the way of concrete advice—the author seems mainly to suggest learning what the rapture will entail and accepting Jesus beforehand. Still, the devout will appreciate Jeremiah's meticulous, text-based efforts to catalog the event's minutiae, if they can get past melodramatic prose that occasionally eludes clear comprehension ("When Jesus leads his heavenly offensive against Satan... He will follow a similar strategy as the U.S. forces in Iraq—although He will have no part with conventional ammunition. His weapon will be glory"). This is best suited to Christians seeking unapologetically enthusiastic guidance to the end times.
