The History

Born in the late 1950’s in the Midwest Al was given a nominal Christian Childhood but knew nothing of the true Christian Life. He joined the Air Force where he heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time and put his trust in Jesus as his Savior and Lord. Al was delighted to pick up the Bible for the first time and found God speaking to his soul. Al left the Air Force and took up Biblical Studies at Crown Bible College in Minnesota achieving a degree in Bible and Missions. There he met and married the love of his life Theresa Joy who went on to earn her degree in Bible and Theology. Al eventually became a Pastor and then Missionary with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Al would go on to earn a Masters in Communications at Columbia Biblical Seminary in Columbia SC. While serving in Africa Al began to wrestle with the various views on the timing of the Rapture and the return of the Lord. He found that none of the popular views  fit every Biblical Text. Pretribulational Rapture, Mid Tribulational Rapture and Post Tribulational Rapture each had inconsistencies within Gods descriptions of the End. It was at that time Al was given a copy of a new book just out by Marvin Rosenthal called “The PreWrath Rapture of the Church”. He found in this study a clear understanding of the events of the Last Days that upheld the Scriptures consistently in every case. While seeking to Teach this view for the timing of the Rapture Al was given further insights into the Last 7 years of this Age. He and Theresa have put together this web sight to share freely what God has revealed. Our prayer is that God’s Church be prepared, dressed and ready for the challenging events that will precede the return of our King and Lord Jesus Christ. Even so Come Lord Jesus. Peace
