Is America—and the world—poised at a defining moment in history? Are the nations of the world forming political alliances for the fulfillment of end-time prophecies? Are we approaching the end of the world as we know it? That is not only a very great concern of Christians, but of backslidden Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims, literally people all around the world.

There is no question that our world is rushing headlong toward the "last days," because sometimes reading the paper is like reading the Bible. Present-day headlines could have been written by Bible prophets thousands of years ago. How could anyone not think that we are approaching the end of the world? However, it is not a season to fear but a time to rejoice. Jesus said that when these things start happening, we’re to look up because the Rapture (our redemption) is near. (Luke 21:28.)

The original Greek for Rapture has to do with catching away, but not everyone is going to be "caught up," only those believers who are ready.

This is wrap-up time. It’s wind-up time. The Rapture could occur at any moment. That’s why I believe that this is the season for us to preach the Rapture and teach Bible prophecy. I believe it is the season for Christians to know what is going on and what their role is so they’ll be ready when the Rapture occurs. Jesus said, "Don’t be troubled" (Matt. 24:6), but you’re going to be troubled if you don’t know the truth. In Hosea 4:6 we’re told, "My people [or Christians] are destroyed for lack of knowledge...." But if you know the truth, you’re not going to be troubled because you’re going to be looking in the right place.

LOOK FOR HIM The terrorist attack of September 11, 2003, has changed our world. This shocking event has polarized the nations into a struggle between good and evil, thus, setting the world stage for the "end times." The Rapture, the Antichrist, the Tribulation, Armageddon, the defeat of Satan, and the beginning of Christ’s reign upon the earth are all end-time events that will be covered in this book.

As we will see, the Bible books of prophecy teach that the Antichrist will try to rule the entire world, but before he takes power, millions of Christians—but not all—will be removed from our planet. We need to make certain that we are part of the group that is leaving first, the "overcoming church." The lukewarm church will not go to heaven in this pre-tribulation Rapture. They must endure three-and-a-half years of the darkest, most difficult period in human history—the second half of the Tribulation.

The battle of Armageddon will be the most terrible battle the world has ever known. Tens—and perhaps hundreds—of thousands of people will die. The Bible says that there has never been, nor will there ever be, a battle so great.

In the final moments of the war, all will seem to be lost and the Antichrist will appear to have won—to have defeated Israel and her allies. Then, Jesus Christ will break through the clouds to return to earth with an army of saints. Christ Himself will defeat Satan, the Antichrist, and their horde.

Where will you be in that day?

When you become born again, there is no question where your destination is, where you are going. The Bible promises that you’re going to go to heaven, but it doesn’t promise you that you are going to make the first Rapture. Whether that happens or not has to do with your decision. So if you miss the first Rapture, that doesn’t mean you’re going to miss heaven, because if you have Jesus in your heart, you are going to heaven. But every Christian is not going in the first Rapture.

Some believers may want to dream that up and think it, but it’s just not in the Bible. Jesus is coming for those who are looking for Him, and some Christians are not looking for anything but a new car or another woman or another man or another drink.

The purpose of this book is to prepare you to be Raptureready by illustrating God’s plan for the end times and where you fit into it. When you get saved, you’re promised heaven. But you make your choice of which Rapture you’re going to go in. If you’re not taught the Word and what God says, then you won’t know the truth. But if you know the truth and you know what it is to be ready for the Rapture, and you decide that you’re going to miss the Tribulation, that is your choice.

WHERE IS YOUR WALK? This is not going to be a depressing message, but it is a serious message because this is a serious time we’re living in. Thousands of years ago God wrote about this time in His Word so that when we would be living in it, we wouldn’t be ignorant or afraid when we see these things happen. He wanted us to know that when we have His Son Jesus inside of us, we’re not a part of Satan’s plan; we’re a part of his ultimate defeat.

But many people don’t like to study prophecy. It’s confusing to them because they read some of it in Ezekiel, they read some in Daniel and in Zechariah, they read the book of Revelation, they read the three chapters in the Gospels that are very prophetic, and they think, What piece goes where, and how does this all fit together?

We’ll be studying end-time prophecy in this book, and I’ve written it so you will understand it. I want it to be simple for you. I don’t want you to put this book down and say, "This is confusing. My brain is scrambled. I don’t know if I can get all this." I want you to say, "I see it. It’s in the Word. It’s clear," so that by the time you finish reading, you will know if you are ready for the pretribulation Rapture or not. There won’t be any question in your mind; you will know.

Even if you can just get pieces of it, it will help you to know if you are part of the overcoming church or the slop along church. It will help you to know that this is the revelation of Jesus Christ and who is the true and living God. It will help you to know that we win.

I believe that as you look at this book, the Holy Spirit is going to help and encourage you, but also exhort you and challenge you, on where your walk is in God. Our world has become too dangerous a place to be lukewarm in your relationship with Him and possibly miss the Rapture. So I pray that your heart will be very sensitive to God as you read on, that He will give you revelation knowledge and open the eyes of your understanding so you will see what He has for you in this message.

From the Back Cover:
...we see through a glass darkly. —I Corinthians 13:10

Prophecy is a mirror in which we can only see dimly. We do not know the moment of Jesus’ return. The compelling signs of the times indicate that His return is soon, but we do not know how much time is left before the church will be caught up from the earth. We do know that we are commanded to watch.

Are you ready for His return? Are you watching?

Marilyn Hickey, minister, author and Bible teacher, reveals what qualifies a watcher. You can and should have confidence that Jesus will welcome you into His heavenly kingdom. You should know what to expect as you see Bible prophecy unfold before your eyes. Discover the knowledge of the end times that is available to you through the Scripture so that you are not caught off guard. It’s in this knowing that you can have peace in the midst of changing times and joy in the middle of uncertain world events.

In Luke 21, Jesus told us to "watch and pray." You have an opportunity to enter into a new level of effectiveness never before experienced. Knowing and understanding what the Scriptures say about the end times will enable you to shatter the fear and deception of the enemy and make sure you and your loved ones are ready for Jesus’ return.
