"Apostle El Marty De Belko’s EYE-OPENING IMMINENT RAPTURE TIMELINE AND PROVEN PREPAREDNESS is an urgent, Scripture-heavy examination of the Christian rapture, its possible timing, and what believers and nonbelievers should do in anticipation. Drawing extensively from Daniel, Revelation, Thessalonians, Hosea, and other biblical books, De Belko constructs a prophetic timeline centered on 2030, 2033, and 2036. His position leaves little room for ambiguity: “If the rapture does not occur around 2030 or by 2033, it will certainly not continue past 2036.” ... "De Belko’s greatest strength is the conviction and accessibility with which he approaches a complicated theological subject. Scripture is quoted extensively, and readers are encouraged to consult the Bible and conduct independent research rather than simply accept this book’s assertions. His direct, conversational delivery also produces such memorable lines as, “The truth does not need your agreement to be true,” which neatly condenses the unwavering certainty permeating the text" ..."Biblical prophecy is connected to the Vatican, United Nations, contemporary politics, cryptocurrency, COVID-19 vaccines, and predicted future government actions" ... "De Belko’s concern for his readers remains evident. Even his description of missing the rapture offers hope alongside fear: “If someone misses the rapture, it doesn’t mean all hope is lost, but it does mean that what lies ahead will be terrifying.”" ... "The closing chapters similarly return the sprawling discussion to its fundamental evangelical purpose: encouraging repentance, prayer, Scripture reading, baptism, and Christian fellowship." ... "EYE-OPENING IMMINENT RAPTURE TIMELINE AND PROVEN PREPAREDNESS is passionately delivered and rich in biblical references"

"Linking biblical prophecy, his own visions, and political and religious developments in Europe and the United States from the French Revolution to the present, Pastor De Belko of Spreading Light Ministry offers an urgent forecast of end-times events that he sees as imminent. Drawing on Daniel, Revelation, Matthew, and other biblical texts, he argues that the United States and Rome play central roles in end-times prophecy and traces the Roman Catholic Church’s historical influence before outlining the tribulation and events he expects to follow the rapture. De Belko’s larger purpose, though, is preparation. He urges readers to ready themselves through faith in Christ, repentance, baptism, prayer, Bible study, holy living, and participation in a Bible-centered church. That will take some work, as De Belko asserts that “90 percent of Christians have been misled on many important topics, such as the concept of marriage, the true Sabbath day and its observance, the Christmas celebration, the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, and so on.” The question-and-answer format keeps De Belko’s wide-ranging discussion relatively focused," ... "His direct appeals and frequent use of Scripture give the text the force of a sermon as he addresses believers’ questions about what the Second Coming means for their faith and daily lives."

"Takeaway: Urgent call to spiritual readiness for evangelical Christians interested in biblical prophecy."
