This seminar covers the very last prophecy given to Israel in the Old Testament--a significant fact in itself. Christians today are looking for the so-called "rapture" and the return of the Lord, and for us to "meet Him in the air." In this step-by-step study, we discover that not only is this not possible today, it doesn't even affect Christians. This is a promise to those Jews in Jerusalem at the time of the awful destruction, and gathers His people to safety before the terrible holocaust. This seminar is a wonderful journey through the scriptures starting with the very beginning prophecy to the very end--rightly dividing the Word to better understand the calling of Christians today and our own "great hope." The prominent scripture is found in Malachi 4:5-6 KJV: "5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
This study was given by Dr. McLain in his Friday Night Bible Study sometime in 1971--the exact date is unknown. This study involves some Bible aerobics so it's advisable to keep your Bible open and ready. He gives scriptural proof that Christ Jesus is both the written and incarnate Word with proof texts from both the old and new testaments. Although the tapes are very old and the recordings are not the finest, the voice is very clear and the message very audible.
