These days, everybody's using the word apocalypse. And here to talk with us about that word today is author and lecturer Bill Salas.

Bill, welcome to prophecy watchers.

Well, it's great to be here.

And, you know, we were just talking about the actual meaning of apocalypse. And I was fascinated by how you phrased that to me.

Why don't you tell the viewers what that is?

Well, it's really interesting that the secular world uses that word in a movie title, for example, book titles, thrillers, television specials,

and it always means something horrible, like a bomb dropped

on Los Angeles, maybe an atomic type bomb or something. And then the movie starts. But Bill,

that word is a biblical word. It's the title of the last book of the Bible, Apocalypse. We call it Revelation. And the word means to reveal, and specifically it's to reveal the Lord Jesus Christ. So it's a biblical word. And having said that, let's get into, to use that word again, your book, which is called Apocalypse Road.

Bill's been working on these ideas for a long time, book, DVD, which we'll talk about a little bit later.

But let's begin to talk about your book and the thesis of the book.

Yes.

Well, the thesis is dealing with that time, that vastly overlooked time period that

happens after the rapture, but before the tribulation. I call it the post-rapture pre-tribulation gap,

and I've written a thesis on it. You know, the common teaching for many years was, listen,

you have a rapture, and then you have a seven years of tribulation. Right. That was a traditional timeline and after that you have the thousand year millennium.

But we realize it's not the rapture that starts this tribulation period. It's a confirmation

of a false covenant. Now in prior shows we've done, we've actually spent a lot of times exploring

the prophecies in the gap, how maybe the first five seal judgments might actually even fit in there. We just did an update on that.

It's on your website. But what we're going to do in this show, I'm excited you're going

to let me, we'll do this conversation, is we're going to talk about that false covenant.

That actually, what sets the stage for Israel to want to be involved in that false covenant? What motivates
