The DISAPPEARING: Future Events That Will Rock the World

Stage-setting for the Tribulation and for the triumphant return of Jesus Christ is in every direction we look on the end-times horizon. Jesus promised:

“And when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your head, for your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28).

The DISAPPEARING: Future Events That Will Rock the World by Terry James and Pete Garcia presents, with detailed dissection, these otherwise inexplicable times that are the very end of the Church Age (Age of Grace). The authors analyze these end-of-days issues and events from the true Bible prophecy perspective. They have done so in Holy Spirit-impressed ways that make clear precisely where mankind stands at this moment on God’s prophetic timeline.

Additionally, James and Garcia present within this nonfiction work a most intriguing fictional slant involving two young women who are close friends. They experience both the horrors and the exultation of prophetic fulfillment–fulfillment that is in reality just ahead for the people of this fallen planet.

The DISAPPEARING: Future Events That Will Rock the World will take the reader from the present to that magnificent promise the Lord made when He sat atop the Mount of Olives with His immediate disciples.

“Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. In my father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I go to prepare a place for you I will come again, and receive you to myself that where I am there you may be also” (John 14:1-3).

The Lord Jesus was making that promise not only to those who sat around listening to Him that day; He was also speaking to each believer down through the ages. The Rapture is the great event that will fulfill His promise.

Paul the apostle later would reveal the exact meaning of Jesus’ words. He unveiled the mystery the disciples didn’t understand at the time:

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).

Paul further revealed that mystery through Inspiration of the Holy Spirit:

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

When the Rapture happens, millions will disappear in an atomos of time–in the twinkling of an eye. Then the Hell-spawned covenant of false peace will be signed, and God’s wrath and judgment will be unleashed on a world of anti-God rebels.

Antichrist will make his appearance when the Holy Spirit as Restrainer removes from that office. When the Church (all believers) go to be with Jesus Christ when He calls, the twenty-one judgments of the seven scrolls, seven trumpets, and seven bowls will fall.

The DISAPPEARING deals with fascinating topics, including:

• Do children go in the Rapture?
• What things within societies and cultures will change drastically how people will live–and die?
• How will true climate change take place, and how will it affect the earth?

• What are the details of the Revelation judgments, and how will they likely manifest?
• How will America fare immediately following the Rapture?
• What prime signs and signals show that this generation is at the very end of the end of the age?

Our foreword is written by our great friend Jan Markell, the nationally renowned radio host and president of Olive Tree Ministries. She writes in part:

All I know for sure is that believers must have hope, and with the world crumbling all around us, we are left with only the predicted “blessed hope.” This world has nothing to offer the Bible-believing Christian. Our focus must be eternity, and that is likely soon for many reading this book—not because readers will face an untimely demise, but rather because Christ’s return is at the door.

Many Bible prophecy students of the pre-trib sort have carefully watched Vladimir Putin over the past years. The Russian president’s demeanor, many believe, demonstrates that this man of relatively short stature exhibits and presents a much larger image, in possible prophetic terms.

I’m referring, of course, to the belief by many that the dictator, a former KGB operative, could be the Gog of Ezekiel 38-39. That is, Mr. Putin could be the leader who will be possessed by the Gog spirit or demon who will think the evil thought described by the prophet Ezekiel. –That Putin might be the leader who will lead the Gog-Magog coalition of nations prophesied to invade toward Israel.

While I find this an interesting, even fascinating prospect, I’m not prepared to totally commit to a definite postulation in that regard.

However, thinking on these strange and troubling times during which we are traversing – times of fortified prophetic progression – a term my partner in raptureready.com, Todd Strandberg, has coined, the possibility of Putin filling that prophetic role is certainly worthy of consideration.

The lateness of these closing days of the age, while Russia threatens to invade Ukraine, brings into focus such prophecies by Jesus Himself as the following.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” (Matt 24: 6).

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Lk 21:25).

With Putin bringing more than one hundred thousand troops and military equipment to the borders of Ukraine and his apparently wanting to invade to bring that former Soviet bloc nation again into Russia’s orb, the rumors of war are rampant. This is perhaps the greatest threat of regional and even worldwide war since the fall of the Soviet Union and the close of the cold war.

With the worldwide protests across Europe and the Canadian/American truckers’ massive protests, and with despot-like leaders facing them and not knowing how to handle it all, the nations are in perplexity, and the people are likened to seas and waves roaring.

So, it is more than understandable why many Bible prophecy observers of the times might strongly point to Putin as the Gog-possessed leader of that invading force predicted by Ezekiel. All stage-setting seems almost complete for these things to begin to come to pass.

This American presidential administration has demonstrated weakness in practically every endeavor in terms of dealing with international problems. They have dealt in evil harshness and dogged determination in confronting American patriots – the prime example being the January 6 peaceful protesters who were seduced into a march on the Capitol, etc., and set up by the FBI and others as terrorists, in my humble opinion. But in facing off with Russia and China – the truly great threats against America — this president has been, as the overused word indicates, feckless.

While in SkyWatch TV studios last week doing a number of programs for Pete Garcia’s and my book The Disappearing: Future Events That Will Rock the World, I was asked the question: Do you think Putin will invade Ukraine?

My answer at that time, just this past week, was, “I really don’t think Putin really wants to invade. He has things going his way without invasion.”

My opinion has changed in that short period of time. His bringing more troops and military assets to Ukraine’s borders isn’t the movement of one who is bluffing. The fact that he won’t talk with American officials and barely will talk with this president is indication enough to know that he intends to fully act out the role of the Russian bear. I would now be surprised if he doesn’t invade. This is due to placating him at every turn and threatening only sanctions of the economic sort.

If Putin were to deliberately attack a NATO nation, then there would be confrontation from the western alliance. But Mr. Biden observably hasn’t the nerve—or whatsoever it takes— to unilaterally face down this voracious dictator.

There is increasing talk among some observers that Gog is not Putin or a Russian leader but very possibly the Turkish leader Erdogan (the most likely) or a future Turkish leader and that Magog is Turkey, not Russia.

While we must never rule out possibilities so far as details are concerned, I can’t, after years of studying the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog-Magog matters, conclude that the head of the coalition against Israel will be other than Russia. It looks very much like Vladimir Putin might well be the man who could lead such a coalition. His appetite for conquest is building, and a time might come soon when Israel and its vast oil and gas reserves, a threat to Putin’s desire to be the lone supplier of Europe and other regions, might give him that evil thought that puts hooks in the jaws of Gog.

By placating this ruthless Russian leader, Biden and company just might be fueling the fires of Putin’s appetite for such conquest as Ezekiel ascribes to the one who will be Gog.
