When Will The Church Be Raptured?

In this teaching, Apostle Mary Banks tackles one of the most debated questions in the Body of Christ: when will the Church be raptured, and will believers go through the Great Tribulation? Rather than relying on popular assumptions, Banks applies the rule that Scripture must interpret Scripture, walking readers through Revelation chapters four through eleven and cross-referencing Zechariah, Ezekiel, and Thessalonians. She corrects the common misreading of John being caught up to heaven as a symbol of the rapture, explains why the seven seals function as a table of contents rather than actual events, and unpacks the four horsemen, the trumpet judgments, and the martyrs under the altar as pieces of a larger prophetic sequence. The study builds toward the sounding of the seventh trumpet, identifying it as the moment the mystery of the Church is finished and believers are removed from the earth, prior to the outpouring of God's wrath in the vial judgments. Readers will learn how to distinguish judgment from wrath, understand the true identity and purpose of the four horsemen as angelic messengers, and see why the timing of the rapture matters for how we live and minister today. This teaching is ideal for serious Bible students, ministry leaders, and anyone wrestling with fear or confusion about end-times events. Written in Banks' clear, teaching style and grounded in the King James Version, it is a foundational companion to her broader Bible Prophecy series available through the Faith Library.
