Trapped by the Pre-trib Rapture Randall L. True

If you are a Christian believer and you have exclusive faith in the pre-Tribulation Rapture, this book is for you. You need to consider its 7 Rapture timing secrets. This book presents, in simple balanced logical steps, the major Biblical inferences for the pre-Trib and the post-Trib Rapture theories. The author does not dogmatically preach only one of the theories; rather he proposes that believers should balance their Rapture faith based on the various strengths of the evidence for each theory. The book gives a fair presentation of the two major theories, and then asks the reader to make an informed evaluation and only then apportion Rapture faith. It is the author's opinion that a dogmatic 100% faith in any one of the Rapture theories is not justified and could in the future be dangerous to spiritual stability. In the Sections explaining the post-Tribulation Rapture inferences, Dr. True presents evidence that the "7-year" portion of the "Future" section of the book of Revelation (6:1-20:6) describes 7 self-contained concurrent narratives, each ending with YHWH's wrath and the 24-hour Day of the Lord. He also presents a theory about the "mystery" in chapter 10. Dr. True has retired from his formal career as a licensed physician and a board certified psychiatrist. He likes to say he is a sinner in recovery, not unlike alcoholics who know they must continue practicing recovery. He became a believer at age 12, the oldest of 7 siblings in a blended family. Secular education in the absence of enlightened teachers led to a period of agnosticism and unenlightened selfishness. A serious re-evaluation in mid-life led back to the solid rock of a historical risen Savior/Creator. Ever the oldest brother therapist, his concern is that fellow believers not stumble on paths strewn with unnecessary dogmatism.
