What's the first thing that comes to mind when I "say"... Sexual?

Not necessarily all people who study prophecy are trying to find a "time". It just interests people(me to be included) Churches Sunday service tend to stay away from end time prophecy because so many people have different view on, its too controversial. People should not try to guess the year, time or date in any event and especially not a book about, like the ones you mentioned, I have read many great books on prophecy that says not to do this.

But please read what I have to say if you really want to know why it interests so many people. This is just the tip of the ice berg. But the only way to know if you beilve in something, is to truley study and understand it.

The rapture The rapture is the event in which the dead in Christ will be resurrected and living Christians will be instantly translated into the resurrection bodies-and both groups will be caught in the air and taken back to heaven----john14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:51-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17) please look at the passages if you truly want to know about the rapture Rev 3:10 indicates that believers will be kept from the actual hour of testing that is coming on the whole world. Further, no OT passage on tribulation mentions the church. Deuteronomy 4:29-30; Jeremiah 30:4-11; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; 5:4-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-11; rev 4-18 Scripture does say that some Christians will be alive in the tribulation for example rev 6:9-11.

But I believe these people come to Christ after the rapture as a result of the 144000 Jewish Christians introduced in chapter rev 7, or of the 2 witnesses of rev 11, prophets who apparently have the same powers as Moses and Elijah. In any event, scripture assures us that the church is not appointed to wrath (Romans 5:9; 1 thess 1:9-10; 5:9 This means the church cannot go through the "great day of their wrath" rev 6:17 Throughout scripture, god protects his people before judgment falls. 2 peter 2:5-9.

Enoch was transferred to heaven before the judgment of the flood, Noah and his family were in the ark before the flood judgment, lot was taken out of Sodom before judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah, the first born among the Hebrews in Egypt were sheltered by the blood of the paschal lamb before judgment fell. The spies were safely out of Jericho and Rahab was secured before judgment fell on Jericho. So too will the church be safely raptured before the judgment falls in the tribulation.

In any event thanks for reading, I didn't cut and paste and took me a while lol. Hope this clear things up on why people enjoy studing prophacy and the beilve the rapture.

In the creeds jesus will come to judge the living and the dead, that is at the final coming of jesus he will take up the dead to be judged and the living will be taken up also to be judged . But there is a train of belief that jesus will come twice more to take everyone , after the ist. Lot he will reign for a 1000 years and then do it all again, which is ridiculous the rapture was instigated by a 14yr.

Old plymouth brethren girl , then carried on by a pastor called nelson darby, this all happened in the 1800s.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
