THE RAPTURE — TV PROGRAM, PROPHECY IN THE NEWS — DOUG STAUFFER

“THE RAPTURE — Reviving the Blessed Hope of Thessalonians”
PROPHECY IN THE NEWS TV PROGRAM, April 8, 2016
with DR. DOUGLAS STAUFFER

I’m pleased to share the 28-minute Prophecy in the News program posted on April 8, 2016, with Dr. Douglas Stauffer, co-author of a new book with his friend and preacher, Andrew Ray. I was privileged to host Doug in the studios of Prophecy in the News.  The book discussed was this great new study on the rapture of the church:  Reviving the Blessed Hope of Thessalonians. It is a strong defense of the Pre-Tribulation position.

We had a great time together and cover a number of vital issues.  I hope you have time to watch the program.  Here is the link to YouTube to view it on your PC or MAC –>  CLICK HERE.

In the program, we have a lively discussion.  We talk about his new book: REVIVING THE BLESSED HOPE OF THESSALONIANS. 

Here are some of the questions I ask (NOTE:  I TRY NOT TO THROW UP SOFTBALLS!)

• What is special about the church at Thessalonica?  Is was ‘on fire’ for prophecy?  Why?
• Is there a distinction between the rapture and the Second Advent?
• Is suffering still likely for Christians before the Rapture of the Church?  Does the Pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine teach an escapist faith?
• What is the essence of what Doug Stauffer teaches?  What does he mean by being prepared?

• Is the rapture a “signless event” and what are the implications?  “The Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom.”  Was the Blood Moon phenomenon healthy?
• Were we “date setting” with the Blood moon enthusiasm?
• Was the 1948 event of Israel becoming a nation a sign, did it relate to predicting the timing of the Second Advent?  Is it okay for us to be looking at the signs in the last days?
• What does it mean that Christ comes Himself for His church rather than an angel?  1 Thessalonians 3:13, “that he may establish your hearts in holiness.”  “Being with Christ in glory” and with the Father as well.  What are the implications of this?
• What are the challenges of the post-trib point of view?  What does it mean to talk about a vertical then horizontal return of Christ?  “In Revelation 19, the armies come from heaven.”  What does this infer about the “third heaven”?
• Is the Day of the Lord different from the Day of Christ?

Be sure to pick up a copy of the book, REVIVING THE BLESSED HOPE OF THESSALONIANS from Prophecy in the News to support their ministry. It is also available on Kindle.
