The modern pre-tribulation rapture promises escape before persecution—but it was never taught by Jesus, the apostles, or the early Church.

In The Great Deception, Glenn Langohr examines Scripture alongside the testimony of the earliest Christian writers to test modern rapture teaching against the plain order of biblical prophecy.

This book includes a scriptural and historical examination of popular pre-tribulation claims, including ideas promoted in modern prophecy literature, and compares them directly with:

• the words of Jesus in Matthew 24

• the apostolic warnings of Paul and John

• the Book of Revelation’s testimony concerning the saints and the Antichrist

• and the unified voice of the early Church Fathers

One section specifically examines claims found in Ken Johnson’s rapture writings, weighing them against Scripture and the documented beliefs of the early Church, to determine whether they represent apostolic teaching or later theological development.

From the cost of discipleship to the necessity of endurance, The Great Deception calls believers back to the everlasting gospel Jesus preached—repentance, obedience, perseverance, judgment, resurrection, and the coming Kingdom.

This is not a book about comfort. It is a call to overcome.
