Rapture, the Antichrist, and the Tribulation

Rick Renner examines biblical teaching on the catching away of the church, the identity and timing of the Antichrist, and events of the tribulation period, emphasizing original Greek terms and pastoral application.

The book aims to clarify common confusions about harpazo (the rapture), the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians, and differences between the church and tribulation saints.

Renner combines linguistic insight with pastoral concern to encourage holiness and readiness rather than fear.

Throughout, he addresses contemporary speculations (for example, false identification of the mark of the beast) and urges faithfulness among leaders and believers.

The work is written to equip readers with a sober, hopeful understanding of end-times doctrine and practical implications for Christian living.
