THE MANDATE BEFORE THE MOMENT: GOD’S PRIORITY IS PURPOSE, NOT TIMING : Why Date-Setting Fetishes Miss the Point of His Coming

For generations, the Church has been taught to watch the skies, decode prophetic signs, and brace for an imminent escape. Dates have been set, charts have been drawn, and fear has often replaced faith. Yet history tells a sobering story: every prediction has failed, every timetable has collapsed, and the mission of the Church has repeatedly been sidelined. This book confronts the uncomfortable truth that much of modern end-time teaching is built not on biblical purpose, but on speculation, anxiety, and misread prophecy.
The Mandate Before the Moment challenges the escape-oriented Christianity that has dominated popular theology since the nineteenth century. Tracing the rise of prophetic mathematics, failed rapture dates, and media-driven hysteria, the book exposes how anticipation of the end gradually displaced discipleship, stewardship, and responsibility. With careful biblical interpretation, it dismantles the myths surrounding secret raptures, tribulation avoidance, and fear-based expectation, replacing them with a robust, Scripture-anchored understanding of hope.
At its core, this book calls the Church back to its original assignment. Prophecy was never given to produce panic, but perseverance; not prediction, but preparation. The return of Christ is not an excuse to abandon the world, but a summons to faithfully govern, serve, and witness within it. By restoring clarity to eschatology and purpose to expectation, The Mandate Before the Moment invites believers to stop waiting for escape and start finishing their assignment—ready not because they fled the world, but because they transformed it.
