RAPTURE READY
by Robert Ivor Adams
This book takes a look at what the Bible says about the last days and the second coming of Jesus.
The first half shows from Scripture what is going to happen before, at, and after Jesus returns. In addition, the issue of preparation is addressed.
The second half deals with the rapture — the catching up of the saints to meet Jesus. Discover what the Bible really says about it, and when it will occur in relation to end time events.
What readers are saying
“One of the best books on end times. The author has been given understanding by the Lord concerning end-time events.”
— Michael (USA)
“Excellent book using only the Bible to interpret the Bible. No thoughts/bias of man and simple to understand.”
— Savvy Lass (UK)
“This book is a must for those who want a simple yet Biblical explanation of what to expect in the near future. I would highly recommend it. It is very easy to read.”
— Chud (UK)
“Robert Adams has the deductive thinking skills of Sherlock Holmes himself. He's known as the Last Days Detective on YouTube, and his teachings are pure, crystal clear, brilliantly deduced from the plain words of Jesus, from the original languages, and from other Scriptures. He'll put together the pieces for you and give you the big picture, and you'll finally say, "Elementary, my dear Watson".”
— Nancy Hollo (USA)
“I've read so many books and articles on the subject of the end times and the Rapture, but this has got to be the most excellent work out there, in my humble opinion. It is an exhaustive study on almost all the passages regarding this subject in the Bible, studying them individually and bringing them together to form a conclusion. It is practically void of any of the usual conjectures, assumptions and presuppositions you find in most of the major works and theories of the biggest voices in today's eschatological debates. It is pure and simply Scripture, and Robert Adams has tried very hard to be consistent in his exegetical interpretation, showing that he has a tremendous knowledge of both the Old and New Testaments, and how it all teaches the same message. If you are not satisfied with simply being fed the doctrine by your pastor or favourite teachers, if you enjoy finding answers to the many unanswered questions for yourself and believe that the Bible offers all the knowledge that we need, then allow Robert Adams and this book to help you achieve that. He does not force his own conclusions on anyone; he simply shows what the Bible says and allows you to make your own decisions on the subject. A must read for all Christians who are hungry for knowledge and always put the Bible above any human teacher and preacher, however godly and wise.”
— Andreas (USA)
“In these Last Days which are so full of the deception that Jesus warned about, it's rare indeed to find a book that tells the Biblical TRUTH about the times in which we live. God's truth is a treasure, and opening this book is like opening a treasure chest of His truth as it pertains to the end times and the controversial subject of the rapture. Well-researched and well-written, this is a book of sound Biblical doctrine. As one who has studied Bible prophecy for more than thirty years, I highly recommend "The Approaching Apocalypse" to those who seek to be "Biblically Correct" and prepared to "endure to the end" of the Great Tribulation when believers will be caught up to meet the returning King of Kings! Well done, Mr. Adams!”

THE VISIONS
UNDERSTANDING THE END TIME PROPHECIES IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL
New York Times best-selling author, Joel Richardson, has this to say about THE VISIONS:
"Robert Adams is a refreshingly clear and cogent thinker and writer. This easy-to-digest book on the prophecies of Daniel will help every student of the Scriptures gain a great introductory understanding of this most critical end time manual."
The book the prophet Daniel wrote is more relevant today than ever before. It’s vital we get a grasp of what it reveals because it contains world-changing prophecies that await their fulfillment. Within the book of Daniel, there are five major prophecies that, from our point of view, begin in history and end in the future. These prophecies converge in the end time and they show us details of what will happen both before and at the return of Christ. THE VISIONS will help you explore these predictions and comprehend the divinely ordained oracles the prophet Daniel received. The author presents his findings in an orderly and easy-to-follow manner. He shows how the visions in Daniel’s book are tied together and form a portrait of the time of the end.
REVELATION REVEALED
UNCOVERING WHAT THE LAST BOOK IN THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THE LAST DAYS
The world is heading toward a climax. End-time prophecies in the book of Revelation are nearing the time of their fulfillment. As we get closer, we must understand what to expect will occur on the world scene. Here are some questions about the last book of the Bible that we need answers to:
- What does it say about the future of the world?
- Where does it place the church in the last days?
- What does it say about Israel in the end time?
- How does it portray the return of Christ?
The author conveys with clarity and conviction what the book of Revelation says concerning these issues. Included is also a detailed commentary on every verse.
THE COMING
THE TESTIMONY OF THE BIBLE CONCERNING THE RETURN OF CHRIST
The pages of the Bible abound with prophecies of the future coming of Jesus. With so much information from Scripture available, it is easy to get lost in the maze of material.
- How will the coming of Jesus happen?
- What impact will it make on the world?
- What will it mean for those who belong to the Lord?
- How will it affect the people of Israel?
THE COMING unpacks the message of the Scriptures concerning the return of Christ and gives clear answers to these questions. The author takes a good look at the testimony of Jesus and His apostles and shows how their teaching correlates with the former writings of God’s prophets. The biblical testimony that emerges arrests any preconceived notions we might have of how we would prefer the future coming of Jesus to be.
THE TEMPLES OF GOD
PAST PRESENT FUTURE
The topic of the temples of God permeates the Bible and runs like a thread through its pages.
The predecessor of the temples of God made of stone was the tabernacle, which Moses constructed when the people of Israel were on their way to the Promised Land. After several centuries, the tabernacle was replaced by a grand temple that King Solomon built in Jerusalem. Solomon’s temple stood for several centuries before being destroyed by the Babylonians. A new temple was built and later enlarged under King Herod. But it too was eventually destroyed, this time by the Romans.
Although at present there is no physical temple of God on earth, there is a spiritual temple made up of people. Nevertheless, the Bible predicts that a temple of God will again be built in Jerusalem. When Jesus returns, the temple in this city will be of great importance in the coming kingdom of God. And all the while, the Bible tells us there is a temple in heaven that the temples on earth reflect.
In THE TEMPLES OF GOD, you will find answers to these questions:
- Why did God want a temple on earth?
- Why were the First and Second temples destroyed?
- What is the purpose of the present spiritual temple?
- What can we know about the future temple in Jerusalem?
- What will be the purpose of the temple after Christ’s return?
EVERY PRE-TRIB ARGUMENT ANSWERED
WHY JESUS WILL NOT COME BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION
The return of Jesus is hotly debated. So, do you want to know how it will happen?
About 200 years ago, a novel teaching about the return of Jesus appeared that has gripped the hearts and minds of millions of believers. In my youth, I subscribed to this teaching and was convinced it was the truth. But since then I've discovered there are many discrepancies regarding this teaching. That's why I've written this book.
I take a comprehensive look at all the relevant Scripture passages that some interpreters of the Bible use to support the idea that Jesus will come before the time of great tribulation to take His people to heaven. If you believe in a pre-trib coming of Jesus - test your belief! If you don't believe in a pre-trib coming of Jesus, be strengthened in your conviction! Get a copy, and you will know the truth.
EVERY PRE-TRIB ARGUMENT ANSWERED is an adaptation and expansion of the last half of my book RAPTURE READY.
