Instructions for Downloading from Dropbox.com

Follow these instructions to build your own Rapture Kit. First, you must download the files per the step-by-step instructions provided below. For your convenience, we have included screenshots that instruct you in what to do.

Note that there are two (2) sets of instructions! One is based on the (preferred) Zip File method, where you can download just three (3) files that will have the complete set of files and folders necessary to build a 32GB Rapture Kit in a folder you create on your PC or Mac. The second method is where the direct uncompressed file and folder system is exposed. From this perspective it is easier to navigate the contents of the Rapture Kit and perform more selective downloads.

The full version history of the Rapture Kit is where you can find additional information.

NOTE: It will take time to download the Rapture Kit v2.1 but the content depth is worth it! When you navigate to our DropBox share, you will see several configurations. These include current 8GB and 32GB configurations, as well as the previous 8GB and 32GB configurations (versions 1.3 and 2.0 respectively).

IF YOU GET AN ERROR LIKE “That didn’t work for some reason”, then click the Secondary or Tertiary buttons.  If you continue to get download errors, then move to our Icedrive.net, or Box.com or Sync.com download pages.

Zip File Method – Rapture Kit 32GB Instructions
	This is the landing page for our Rapture Kit resources on Dropbox.com. Note the site identifier, a simple text file with the filename of “backup site – dropbox (primary).txt”. Please click on the “Current Rapture Kit Versions” folder.
	If you want to download the full Rapture Kit v2.1 that fits on a folder on your desktop (PC or Mac) or a 32 USB Drive or higher, then click that folder. Note that if you prefer downloading the smaller v1.4 designed to fit on an 8GB USB drive, take that option. The instructions below follow the full 32GB configuration. There is approximately 27GB of information to download, so it will take some time.
	Click the “Bulk Zip Files (compressed)” folder link. The word compressed means that the files have been grouped into a ZIP file. This is a free program widely used to minimize the size of files, especially when they have to be downloaded and shared.
	Here we can see the 3 files that must be downloaded one at a time. Click on the gray Download button.
	After a short wait, you’ll notice that an error message displays “The zip file is too large.” This is actually a reference to Dropbox attempting to combine all three (3) Zip files into a new larger Zip file. Do not be alarmed by this. We will be downloading these files one at a time. To begin the first download process, click on the “Rapture Kit 2.1 – Part 1 of 3.zip” link.
	This screen is a little obvious. It is not an error message, just an acknowledgement that such a big file cannot be “previewed” before starting a download request. That’s not a problem. Click the “Download” button.
	After just a short wait, on the upper right side of your browser (this is Edge browser in InPrivate mode). Notice the name of the current file it is downloading. Confirm this says “Rapture Kit 2.1 – Part 1 of 3.zipo” and that you witness the progress bar moving left to right. NOTE: You do not need to create an account from the dialog box that pops up offering a “Sign In” or “Sign Up” option. We recommend downloading without an established account.
	Repeat for the 2nd file “Rapture Kit 2.1 – Part 2 of 3.zip”. On the upper right, notice that the first file is done and the progress bar for the second file is reporting the download status. This file is larger than the first, so allow for just a bit longer.
	The “Rapture Kit 2.1 – Part 3 of 3.zip” is the largest of the three Zip files and will take a long time, depending on your Internet download speeds.
	Open File Explorer on your PC or Finder on your Mac and look at the Downloads folder. There, you should see the three (3) files just downloaded. If you observe the date and time stamps on these files, it shows that the download took about 40 minutes. This time might be different on your system.
	Beginning with “Rapture Kit 2.1 – Part 1 of 3.zip” right click on the file and choose “WinZip” and then “Unzip to…” option.
	You should see the Unzip dialog window come up so that you can define the target for where to put the Rapture Kit files. Since this is the first time we are doing this process, note that we must make a “New Folder” see button on top left. Name the folder “Rapture Kit”. When you are satisfied, click the “Unzip” button. NOTE: The target on the sample PC you see is using Drive D: but you can choose any drive letter to make the Rapture Kit folder…even your Desktop if you like!
	This is the progress bar for unzipping the Zip file. It does run much faster than the actual download speed. The speed of the decompression is dependent on the speed of your processor chip and the available RAM memory.
	Automatically, and the end of the unzipping process, a File Explorer window will pop-up that shows you the results of File 1 of 3. Note that the bulk of the folders are recreated at this point. The two other Zip files we will do in a moment have the larger content…mostly audio and video files. You can simply close this window.
	We need to unzip “Rapture Kit 2.1 – File 2 of 3.zip”. Please right click on this file and choose WinZip and the “Unzip to…” option.
	Because we already have the Rapture Kit folder created from the previous step, we just need to navigate to the folder and open it. Note that we can now see all the folders and files previously unzipped from File 1 of 3 above. At this time, click on the “Unzip” button to initiate the next process.
	Here, we can witness the progress of Part 2 of 3 as it decompresses.
	Again, when the Part 2 file is decompressed, WinZip will open File Explorer window showing the results. In the Part 2 file, we just created Section 06 folder with the 13-part teaching series on “What Tribulation Saints Need to Know”. You can close this window and proceed to the next step.
	Please right click on Rapture Kit 2.1 – Part 3 of 3.zip” file, choose “WinZip” and then “Unzip too…” option. The Part 3 file is the largest, and the resulting decompressing process is longer accordingly.
	Navigate to the Target location of the previously made Rapture Kit and click the “Unzip” button.
	You can follow the progress bar as the Zip file is unzipped.
	When the finished Unzip process is completed, we can stop because the final part of the Rapture Kit will be displayed here. This is the full structure: Section 01 through Section 08. You can now take your time to explore these resources more fully.

Back in Dropbox, click on “Section 01 – Materials for the Rapture Kit Sender”.

Direct (uncompressed) File Method – Rapture Kit 32GB Instructions
	To begin downloading a full Rapture Kit current version 2.1 click on the “Current Rapture Kit Versions” link.
	Click on the “Desktop or 32GB (or higher) USB Drive” folder link.
	To access the uncompressed content, click on “Rapture Kit 2.1 (uncompressed)” link.
	What you are looking at is the folder structure of Rapture Kit 2.1 in its uncompressed state. This is the same structure that will be recreated on your PC or Mac and is also the structure that will end up on any USB Drive that you make after the fact. Click on the “Download” button in gray.
	We’ve seen this message from the Zip File method (see above). What it means is that the sum of all the files cannot be put into a single Zip file. That’s okay, we are going to download each folder one at a time. Before we do however, let’s download the “_Read Me First.pdf” file by clicking that link.
	Because Dropbox recognizes a PDF document, which this is, it has the ability to preview it. What you want to do is hit the “Download” button on the top left of the page. Note the progress bar on the upper right completes very quickly comparatively speaking.
	Click on the gray “Download” button. Note the download progress on the upper right.
	Navigate back a page and choose “Section 02 – First things first”. Click on the gray “Download” button. Note the download progress on the upper right.
	Navigate back a page and choose “Section 03 – Bibles”. Click on the gray “Download” button. Note the download progress on the upper right.
	Navigate back a page and choose “Section 04 – Books”. Click on the gray “Download” button. Note the download progress on the upper right.
	Navigate back a page and choose “Section 05 – Discipleship Study Materials”. Click on the gray “Download” button. Note the download progress on the upper right.

	Navigate back a page and choose “Section 08 – Additional Articles”. Click on the gray “Download” button. Note the download progress on the upper right.
	We are at the point where we need side-by-side views of File Explorer. On the left side, you should display the Downloads area, where you will see the “_Read Me First.PDF” document and 8 ZIP files…one each of the Sections of the Rapture Kit Structure. This is the Source. On the right side of your screen, navigate to the Target where you want the Rapture Kit to be located on your system. In the screenshot, you can see we chose D: drive and created a New Folder by right clicking and choosing “New” then “Folder”. Name the folder “Rapture Kit” if you like.
	We must now create all the folders corresponding to the Zip file names on the left. They are not made automatically by unzipping, unfortunately. As before, in the Target Rapture Kit folder, go ahead and right-click choose “New” then “Folder” and name it. For instance, the first will be “Section 01 – Materials for the Rapture Kit Sender”. Continue until you create the final folder “Section 08 – Additional Articles”. You might notice that we just manually copied the “_Read Me First.PDF” file into the Target root of the Rapture Kit folder on the right screen.
