1 Vanishment & Tribulation

Vanishment & Tribulation

Neal Fox | Drama

Rating:

A future mass "Vanishment" of people is described in the Bible, called the Rapture. This novel is closely based on Bible prophesies about that "Rapture" of the Church and the seven year Tribulation which follows. In that sense this is not a work of fiction. However, fictional characters and situations are intertwined with the actual order of prophesied Biblical events to make those events come alive and be more understandable to the Reader. The primary purpose is to inform about what the Bible says, but it is also meant to be interesting and entertaining, because the Bible is not boring.
