This is a study of the Rapture meant for everybody. Its design is complete, not exhaustive, understandable, and leaves the reader with an appreciation for the plans of God. It does not imagine what the Bible says; it is what the Bible says. Not politically correct, Biblically correct. Chapter 21, Prologue: "It may be appropriately here noted that the trumpets and the vials, besides being two descriptions of the identical event; first trumpet is the first vial event, second trumpet is the second vial event etcetera; all seven events of the trumpet and vial pairs are described in the past tense. Thus, it would seem, is an indication that these seven trumpet and vial events are actual historical events from the dimension of the future, observed by John during their occurrence, and described in the present. In other words, historically, they have already occurred and are therefore irreversible and inevitable. It's just that we, us, have not gotten there yet; and when we do, we also will witness them as did John; but not prophetically, as participants.""
