What triggers the return of Christ for His Church? In this verse-by-verse study, we uncover the mystery of the "fullness of the Gentiles" from Romans 11:25 and what it means for the Rapture.
This study takes you through 1 Corinthians 15, Romans 11, Jeremiah 30, Deuteronomy 32, Philippians 3, and 1 Thessalonians 4 as we examine the three stages of the resurrection of the just, the spiritual blindness that has fallen on Israel, and why the Body of Christ must be removed before God can resume His dealings with the nation of Israel. You will learn why the Tribulation is called "the time of Jacob's trouble" and how the boundaries of the nations were set according to the number of the children of Israel.
