This book is the product of inspiration and motivation. The inspiration came in night visions upon my bed, when the Lord revealed to me events that shall shortly come to pass, beginning with the rapture of His Church, when Christ shall appear in the clouds and take his chosen people, those in the grave and those alive, to live with him in Heaven forever. "e;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 who are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air."e; But alas, soon after the rapture, there will be widespread universal unrest, lawlessness and destruction, resulting in the utter breakdown of governments throughout the world during a period designated the great tribulation. Therefore, the motivation for this work, shrouded in allegory, is to inform, to caution and exhort all who may read it, to prepare to meet our God. Because the rapture will usher in a period of darkness, famine, hunger and out-of-control violence, a world in which men shall seek death but death itself will flee from them. One such symbol is that of the rider of the pale horse. "e;And I looked and behold, a pale horse, and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him."e;
