The article "The Truth About Hell", in the July-August issue was right on the point. It comes from Scripture and proves that the "rapture" false teachings are just that; false teaching. Many people have been fooled by this and will not be ready for the Lord's second coming. I always said the scriptures were pointing to the second coming, not a rapture to take us away from tribulation. As we are living in the "last days" we should be watching and be ready for the return of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
