A day of redemption is coming. To an unsuspecting multitude, that day will come suddenly-like a flood. Jesus said, "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." (Luke 17:25-28) "Behold I come like a thief" unveils Jesus' Mount of Olives dialogue with his disciples in a bold, unique way, as well as other Biblical accounts surrounding the rapture, so believers may be found prepared, waiting and watching when the Lord returns to gather his elect on the last day, the day of redemption. Jesus said, "Behold, I come like a thief Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed." (Rev. 16:15) This book presents the Olivet Discourse accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke as one comprehensive narrative so the reader gets the full picture of what Jesus was saying; but none of Jesus' words have been changed, omitted or reorganized. There has been considerable confusion about this topic-for there are pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath, and no-rapture views of the rapture But the view that is of most importance here is not any of the above, but rather, it is God's view.
