I didn’t necessarily learn anything new from The Great Disappearance, but it was a refreshing reminder of God’s promises as we approach the Tribulation. Dr. David Jeremiah’s latest book is both thought-provoking and uplifting, offering a clear biblical perspective on the next event on God’s prophetic timetable—the Rapture.
This isn’t a book of fear or sensationalism. Instead, it’s full of hope and joy, guiding readers to see God’s plan unfolding and grasp the significance of prophetic Scripture. Dr. Jeremiah calls this “prophecy motivation,” encouraging believers to live with boldness and expectancy. The 31 short chapters are easy to read, each offering practical insights that connect biblical truths to daily living.
Dr. Jeremiah explores key aspects of the Rapture, including its distinction from the second coming and the profound joy of anticipating Christ’s return. He reminds readers that the timing isn’t as important as the reality, urging us to focus on living as “citizens of heaven traveling through earth.” With Peter’s five traits of Rapture-ready people—purity, promise, purpose, patience, and progress—Dr. Jeremiah offers actionable steps for spiritual growth.
Though the descriptions of the Tribulation are sobering, the reassurance that believers will be raptured beforehand provides peace. This book is an inspiring call to live with faith and readiness, rooted in God’s unchanging promises. If you’re looking for biblical truth and practical encouragement about the end times, The Great Disappearance is a great choice. 5 stars.
