March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Unworthy: A Polemic Against the Secret Second Coming": a brilliant read that speaks about the idea of man's avoidance of struggle and the rapture that mankind is looking forward to. "Unworthy: A Polemic Against the Secret Second Coming" is the creation of published author S. Kuhl, a US Navy combat veteran of Vietnam. He is currently an online seminary student at Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary.
Kuhl shares, "Finally, this is not just another book denouncing the pretribulation rapture, but a Bible-based analysis and polemic against the very idea of man trying to avoid pain and tribulation. While it is true that the Bible teaches that we (Christians) are not to suffer wrath. The Bible also teaches that as Christians, we should expect trials and tribulation.
"Daniel's prophecy of seventy weeks, the final week man's rule is divided in half, creating two periods of three-and-a-half years. The final three-and-a-half years of man's rule on earth will be the time known as Jacob's trouble. Evil will no longer be restrained; that is the Holy Spirit will cease to hold back evil, allowing ungodly men to rejoice in the darkness they have wanted, since the beginning. Christians will have disappeared from the earth by this time, and men can and will run wild. Earthly government will be a single one-world government ruled by an insane fascist leader, who will not care what women want but only care that the world worships him as God. The people will celebrate when last two righteous men in Jerusalem are killed by Satan and send gifts to each other. Christians should rejoice that they will not be here, but they will see the rise of the Antichrist and recognize him when he appears with his false prophet.
"The stage for this play is being set as we watch today's headlines. Unworthy will show you that we are today living in what Jesus called the 'beginning of sorrows. (Matt. 24:8)'"
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, S. Kuhl's new book is a stirring work that will open the reader's mind and give them a polemic against the secret second coming grounded on a different perspective and the writings of the Bible.

From an Orthodox Christian perspective, I can say that our Church knows nothing about the popular concept of a Rapture for 2,000 years and counting, and is well-acquainted with grief and tribulation, so after some confusion is dissipated I can see how this book fits in and look into it as a warning.
Looks like he is referring to the pretributarian rapture, not the rapture per se.
I think the author may be confused as well. the Rapture philosophy been a point of contention since it’s invention in the 1800s
There are some dispensationalists who believe the “Rapture” will happen at the middle or even at the end of the “Tribulation,” so that is probably the intended audience for the book. I doubt an author from a fundamentalist school would question the dispensationalist system as such - dispensationalism is fully embedded with fundamentalism.
23 Abraham came near and said, “Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not [a]spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it?
25 Far be it from You to do [b]such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth [c]deal justly?”
26 So the Lord said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will [d]spare the whole place on their account.”
27 And Abraham replied, “Now behold, I have [e]ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes.
28 Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?” And He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
29 He spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose forty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it on account of the forty.”
30 Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak; suppose thirty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31 And he said, “Now behold, I have [f]ventured to speak to the Lord; suppose twenty are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the twenty.”
32 Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the ten.”
33 As soon as He had finished speaking to Abraham the Lord departed, and Abraham returned to his place.

You can leave that on the amazon review or write to the website or even to the Baptist school the author of the book is in
Though to be fair, the Genesis 18 chapter you refer to is about God proposing to rapture away i.e. eliminate from earth, all the wicked.
Is that what you meant?
All this posturing about what will happen when, is nonsense. If you believe in Christ, read His words on when He will return, and how we are supposed to act prior.
Let me break it down, Barney style:
1. Only the Father knows
2. Our job is to be ready
That’s all.
I have not read the book, yet.
I would simply hope that the author is not arguing that trying to prevent evil governments, and evil actions by government, is wrong, as one of the things he thinks humans are doing to “avoid trials and tribulations”. If so, then he is making an argument similar to Jehovah’s Witnesses - non-participation in government.
Somehow I do not think Yeshua expects us to stand by and watch wrong doing’s that are within the realm of possibility for us to correct.

You sometimes run into them. Chuck Baldwin*, I think, has left the dispy fold.
