The Rapture of the Saints

by Herbert Lockyer

Overview

If you knew that within the next twenty-four hours Christ would return, according to His promise, what would you change?
Legendary Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer examines what Scripture has to say about the second coming of the Lord, emphasizing the signs of the coming, the hope of the church, the attitude of the believer, and the features of constant readiness.
In an era when the second coming has been sensationalized, reduced to ridicule, used as an excuse for domination, or forgotten altogether, Lockyer's calm and clear exposition of pertinent passages, including 1 Thessalonians 5, is a refreshing reflection on Christ's certain appearing.

About the Author

DR. HERBERT LOCKYER (1886–1984) was a preacher and Bible teacher, and the author of more than fifty books. His best-known titles include All the Men of the Bible and All the Women of the Bible. Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute’s fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London.
