Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

The rapture is the snatching away to heaven of all Christians before the beginning of the Tribulation.

The Bible says before this Tribulation begins, all Christians who are alive will be snatched away to meet the Lord in the air.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

For generations, people have used the Bible to concoct some pretty wild ideas about how the world will end.

So what does the Bible actually say about the end times?

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress sets the record straight about one of the most hotly debated topics in Bible prophecy, the rapture of the church.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. When it comes to mapping out the chronology of biblical prophecy, most Christians are hard pressed to place the events in correct order.

To many people, the biblical timeline is confusing and irrelevant.

Well, when you go to our website at ptv.org, take a moment to check out the variety of creative resources I've prepared to help you navigate the events of biblical prophecy.

For example, you'll see my bestselling book titled Perfect Ending, Why Your Eternal Future Matters Today.

Most people will admit to feeling a bit overwhelmed by the complexity and mystery of biblical prophecy.

Well, I've written this book to bring clarity and it's designed so that you can easily flip to the chapters that are most interesting to you.

In addition, I've also prepared the end times illustrated. If you're like me, you'll find it really helpful to have a visual representation of God's timeline for the future.

This 72-page book, along with my book Perfect Ending, are yours when you give a generous gift to support the ministry of Pathway to Victory.

Now, it's possible you already have these resources. After my message today, we'll tell you about an impressive collection of additional tools for this study.

But right now, let's dig into Scripture as our series Perfect Ending continues. Today, we're talking about one of the most hotly debated topics in Bible prophecy, the rapture of the church.

I've titled today's message, Making Sure You're Not Left Behind.

Some of you, like I, are old enough to remember the name of Jean Dixon.

Jean Dixon was a popular psychic in the 1950s and 60s who made a number of predictions, but her most famous prediction was made in 1956 when she prophesied that a Democrat would win the 1960 presidential election.
