Did the early Church expect to escape the final persecution—or to endure it? For more than a century, modern pre-tribulation rapture theology has promised believers a “Great Escape” from the rise of the Antichrist and the final tribulation. Yet this teaching did not originate with Jesus, the apostles, or the early Church. In The Great Escape Delusion, Bible teacher Glenn Langohr examines this doctrine in light of Scripture and the unified witness of early Christian writers.

Early Church Witness—Volume 3: Endurance, Apostasy, and the Crown of Life confronts false assurance by returning to the direct words of Jesus Christ, the apostles, and the earliest Christian witnesses. Drawing from the King James Scriptures and early Church testimony, this volume shows that endurance is required, apostasy is real, and the promised reward belongs to those who overcome.

Long before modern prophecy systems, rapture theories, or theological shortcuts existed, the early Church read the Scriptures plainly. They believed the saints would face the Antichrist, endure persecution, remain faithful unto death, and be delivered at the appearing of Jesus Christ. This book documents that forgotten consensus.

In The Early Church on the Antichrist, Glenn Langohr brings together Scripture—especially the prophecies of Daniel—with direct quotations from early Christian writers to show that the historic Church did not expect an escape before tribulation, but endurance through it.

It's a tale of two judges; one a well-liked defender of the law, and the other a cold-blooded manipulator. Judge C.E. Chillingworth was by all accounts a man of honor, so why were he and his wife taken from their home on June 15, 1955, in the wee hours of the morning, bound, gagged, weighted down, and thrown into the ocean?

Raised in a mob-controlled suburb of Chicago, Sidney Heard grew up wanting to be a gangster. He was on probation by the age of 13 and continued building his criminal resume over the next half a century. He was a professional arsonist for nearly 20 years, escaped from jail twice, and ran a gold scandal grossing over a quarter of a million dollars, and that’s just to name a few of his illegal escapades. To top it off, he played a role in one of the most important Supreme Court decisions of all time (Gideon v. Wainwright).
