It's easy reading and a well explains the many flaws in the relatively recent heresy (170 years ago - compared with 2000 years of Christianity) - The Rapture. A doctrine invented by Darby.
As a child and early teenager I was heavily influenced by the rapture heresy - growing up in a Brethren Church.
Rature Exposed clearly shows the errors of this dangerous doctrine which has seduced many American evangelicals. The fruits of this doctrine is fear and irresponsibility towards the earth and the creation.
It's an escapist doctrine.
Here's the last paragraph of the book which encapsulates the real hope found in the Bible and in particular the book of Revelation:
Jesus will return - once. Until then, we are always with Jesus and he is with us - Emmanuel. Our life is held in God's time. And we are called in wakefulness, to pray as a final verses of Revelation do, "Amen, come Lord Jesus."
