DEFINITION

Many Christians today struggle with the idea of the Rapture of the Church. Is it a true doctrine? Or is it just a false hope presented by the church?

While the word "rapture" does not appear in the KJV bible, the term that it represents does. It is, in fact used nurmerous times and was an important teaching of the early church. The original Greek word "harpazo" was translated in the Latin Vulgate bible as "rapiemur". It is from this Latin word where we get the term rapture. This word is translated in English as "caught up" as seen in 1Thes 4:17.

Strong's 726. arpazw harpazo to seize:--catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).

Is tomorrow’s history a result of decisions made 2,680 years ago? Have ancient prophets accurately foretold the future? The evidence that the planet is a powder keg and the world’s leaders are about to light the fuse is undeniable. What will happen next?

Will the decisions you make today be correct as tomorrow unfolds? The choice you make determines one of two destinies. One leads to Redemption; the other to Judgment.

The Manasseh Effect seeks to discover what the Word of God has to say about the Rapture and Redemption of the Church. This informative study will help unravel the past and prepare you to make a decision today that will determine your future.

The Manesseh Effect is fully indexed, includes scripture cross references, and is also fully referenced with included color chart. Its two-column format is easy to read. 112 pages, 7.5" X 9.75". This book is a great resource aiding your personal Bible study about the future redemption (or as many call it - the rapture) of the church.

Testimonials

Hello Pastor John,

I am responding after my 2nd reading of The Manasseh Effect. I am no scholar by any means, but I do appreciate factual, historical, and Biblical writting. That is just another reason I enjoy Calvary Chapel Tri-City. Not only is my time there a break for me, but the material I have received have proven extremely valuable for my efforts of trying to bring glory to our Savior. I want to thank you and also tell you that this work, The Manasseh Effect, could well be, next to the Bible, one of the best tools in anyones arsenal. I am going to start teaching this in conjunction with Bible studies, mens' fellowship, any pulpit time I am blessed with in my home church (Calvary Chapel Boulder City, Nevada), and in the Rescue Mission here in Las Vegas. When you come out with the finished product [which is now available], please let me know and I will talk to the Calvary Chapel's here in Las Vegas, if you would like, about carrying The Manasseh Effect is their bookstores. God bless you, Shauna, the boys, and family all.
Again, thank you.

Jim M., Las Vegas, Nevada
