Description: The best thing about this book is that Ladd attempts to take Scripture, IN CONTEXT, and support what he believes Scripture teaches in regard to a post-trib rapture. Honestly, my main problem with the book is that I think it is too short. He is already very convincing, but with more detail, critique, and examination, it would have been even more stalwart. Probably a 4.3 stars.

Review Summary: End Time Views Extensively Documented and Explained |

Details: I've read many books on the subject, and found this book by Ladd to be the most fair in discussing all the views of end time prophesies in the Bible.
He uses a lot of scripture and does not waste time discussing "current" events, as so many other authors do on this subject. So, if you are looking for a "meaty", yet small book, on all the important scriptures dealing with the Return of Jesus Christ ( The Blessed Hope ), this is the book for you. |

Details: I enjoyed this book, I have read many books on the origin of the pre-trib rapture teaching (personally I don't believe in any rapture, just the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ) and unfortunately a lot of people become bitter and less than Christian in their enthusiasm.
Mr. Ladd manages to give an accurate, historical overview of how the pre-trib teachings began without attacking anyone.
I had never read any books by him before but will definitely read more of his material in the future. The man showed grace and class by sticking to the subject and not getting into petty name calling and finger pointing.
To me he proves that when we obey the Lord and speak the truth in love, we can still speak the truth, we just don't have to lower ourselves to our enemies level. |

Review Summary: Why continue to be deceived? |

Details: George E. Ladd's "Blessed Hope" is an excellent work, but not nearly so thorough nor as accurate as Tim Cohen's works (see below).
Tim LaHaye, Jerry Jenkins, and others in the Pre-Trib circle, such as Ed Hindson, Tommy Ice, Chuck Missler, Zola Levitt, Thomas McCall, John Hagee, Grant Jeffrey, Marlin Maddox, Perry Stone, Texe Marrs, John Walvoord (deceased), etc., continue to put forth the same deceptions that Hal Lindsey popularized decades ago. The notion of a pre-tribulation rapture is foreign to scripture, it is foreign to the teachings of the early Church, and it is grooming the Church for destruction through ignorance and lack of preparation for what is really coming. These men are novices and not prophecy "experts" or "scholars" by any stretch of the imagination; they are those who tickle the ears of gullible Christians. Why continue to be deceived? Tim Cohen, in his excellent book, "The AntiChrist and a Cup of Tea," provides biblically sound and testable evidence to show that the coming AntiChrist is known NOW. Not only that, the same author (Tim Cohen) has now put out the strongest presentation on the whole issue of the rapture EVER offered to the saints of God in Christ: "The REAL Rapture". If you really want to know the truth about the timing of the coming rapture, then you need to hear Tim Cohen's "The REAL Rapture" (based on a volume in his forthcoming "Messiah, History, and the Tribulation Period" series (see Prophecy House's site for details on these items, which are also available via Amazon). |
