Part II: Seven Days Until The Rapture
Note: “Seven Days Before The Rapture” is a fictional series for paid subscribers only. The timing of The Rapture is a subject of much debate in the church today.

The main thing to remember when these discussions are held is rapture-timing belief is not an essential for salvation purposes, and it is OK for Christians to disagree on this matter.
