Peace in the Midst of Prophetic Storms
“This life is not all we have.”
That simple truth, too often neglected from pulpits today, lies at the heart of Brentner’s ministry. His books—The Triumph of the Redeemed and Invitation to a Lavish Feast—are written not to stir debate but to stir hope. Gary Stearman described reading them as taking a deep breath of calm reassurance.
The pre-tribulation rapture, as Brentner explains, is our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:13). When the Church understands that Jesus will rescue His bride before the outpouring of God’s wrath, it changes everything. You can face tomorrow—not with dread—but with joy.
The Rapture Is Real—and It’s Near
“Our triumph is Christ’s triumph—and He shares it with us.”
Brentner walks viewers through the breathtaking sequence of events about to unfold:
- The rapture of the Church, where we will receive glorified bodies and be caught up to meet Christ
- The marriage supper of the Lamb
- The triumphant return of Jesus in Revelation 19
- The 1,000-year reign of Christ on Earth
This isn’t science fiction. It’s not symbolic. It’s Scripture—and it’s near. The pre-tribulation rapture is a divinely revealed event that delivers believers from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10). And as Brentner notes, it’s not just biblical—it’s personal.
Technology, Deception, and the Beast System
“The infrastructure for the Antichrist is already in place.”
Today’s headlines read like previews of Revelation. From artificial intelligence to global surveillance, the mechanisms that could enable a global dictatorship are already here. But rather than cause fear, this reality confirms that the Bible is true.
Brentner and Stearman discuss how demonic influence is accelerating technological advancements. What once seemed impossible—reading minds, implanting thoughts, global tracking—is now openly discussed by world elites. But for believers, it only reinforces the urgency of the pre-tribulation rapture and the comfort it brings.
Israel, Antisemitism, and Prophetic Fulfillment
“God’s plan for Israel will not be thwarted.”
The October 7 Hamas invasion of Israel is not just a geopolitical event—it is prophetic. Brentner reminds us that antisemitism must rise for certain end times prophecies to be fulfilled. The spirit that fueled the Philistines still animates the enemies of Israel today.
As hatred toward the Jewish people increases, Scripture reminds us that God will preserve a remnant. Christians must reject antisemitism and stand firm in support of God’s chosen people. And as always, these signs confirm we are rapidly approaching the pre-tribulation rapture.
Why Hope Wins
“Jesus is coming for me. I don’t know when—but I know He is.”
Those words from Jonathan Brentner echo the heart of biblical prophecy. As believers, we are not left to guess the future. God gave us a roadmap, and at the center of that plan is Jesus Christ—coming again to receive His bride.
Understanding the uniqueness of the rapture is essential. Brentner explains that unlike the Second Coming, the rapture involves the resurrection of all believers in Christ (1 Thess. 4:16-17), not just a subset. This “blessed interruption” can happen at any moment—and it should shape how we live now.
Ready for the Lavish Feast?
“God hasn’t called us to fear the end—He’s invited us to a feast.”
That’s the title of Brentner’s latest book for a reason: Invitation to a Lavish Feast. We are not clinging to survival. We are guests at the King’s table.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by headlines, discouraged by deception, or confused by conflicting messages, let the truth of the pre-tribulation rapture bring peace. Jesus is preparing a place for us. He will return for us. And we will rejoice with Him forever.

Final Word: You’re Not Crazy—You’re Being Called
If you’re sensing that something major is about to happen, you’re right. The world is unraveling, but for the Church, it’s all falling into place. The pre-tribulation rapture is not a distraction—it’s a declaration. Jesus is coming soon.
“The signs are everywhere. The prophetic puzzle is almost complete.” — Prophecy Watchers
So don’t retreat. Rejoice. The triumph ahead is not just a chapter in a book—it’s your future in Christ. And it’s more glorious than we can imagine. Keep watching. Keep waiting. And most of all—keep hoping.
Understanding Pretribulationism: A Closing Note
The view expressed in this article reflects the pretribulational belief that the rapture of the Church will occur before the seven-year Tribulation begins. According to this perspective, Christ will come for His Church prior to God’s judgment on the earth, and believers will be taken up to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). This view sees the rapture and the Second Coming as two separate events, with the rapture initiating the “last days” for the Church. It’s important to note that this is not a salvation issue, but rather a matter of sincere interpretive differences among faithful believers. All Christians who hold to biblical prophecy agree on the essential truths: Jesus is coming again, He will judge the world in righteousness, and His kingdom will reign forever.
Pretribulationism offers many strengths: it upholds the imminence of Christ’s return, maintains a biblical distinction between Israel and the Church, and aligns with God’s consistent pattern of rescuing the righteous before divine judgment. It also provides a strong sense of peace and encouragement amid the chaos of today’s world. Still, this view has its critics, who point to the lack of an explicit timeline in Scripture and raise questions about the saints mentioned during the Tribulation in Revelation. Ultimately, the timing of the rapture is not the foundation of our faith—Jesus Christ is. And whether He comes today or years from now, we are called to watch, wait, and be ready.
