Book Offers Definitive Answers on the Timing of the Rapture
Author's exegesis focuses on the last days and the Second Coming

LONGWOOD, FL-Our swift progression into the final days of the end times has everybody asking one question: when will the rapture of the church happen? Among Christians, there are several different views of the Second Coming of Christ. Christianity in general has been subjected to many misguided interpretations concerning this monolithic event. But in order to know for sure when Jesus will rapture the church, we must discover when the "First Resurrection" will take place. Dr. Ralph J. McIntyre's The First Resurrection (paperback, 978-1-60477-039-1) uses concise and easy to read language to pinpoint when the "resurrection" will happen according to Scripture. The Christian who wants to learn with clarity and accuracy what the Bible says concerning the last days and the Second Coming will appreciate this book.

"Millions of people believe the church will at anytime suddenly disappear from earth before the great tribulation," says McIntyre. "My book enlightens readers about the fact that the timing of the First Resurrection does not transpire until the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet, as recorded in Revelation 11. We are definitely living in the last days according to Daniel, Revelation, and other writers."

The author believes there is a desire for a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit and a hunger for a fresh word from God among many ministers today. As a response to this growing need, he penned his book, which became a reality through dedicated prayer and a consecrated study of the Scripture. "These writings are scriptural, although I am aware they will cross some beliefs and theological views, even in my own organization," says McIntyre.
