Roy Culley graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1955. After serving two years as an officer in the United States Army, he left active duty to marry Emi Watanabe and began U.S. Civil Service work for the U.S. Army in Japan. God used his next ten years of Civil Service to bring the Culleys to Christ and Christian service. Confident God had called him into the Gospel Ministry, he resigned the Civil Service and moved to Henderson, Texas for ministerial training at the Texas Baptist Institute-Seminary. After two years he began serving as a student instructor and after graduation as a regular instructor of Greek, Hebrew, Missions, The Holy Spirit, Pneumatology, Bible Psychology, Bible Counseling, Daniel, Zechariah, Revelation, writing seminary textbooks for all but Bible Counseling, Greek and Hebrew. He began serving as the Dean in 1971 and continues doing so, as well as writing for the Baptist Monitor and serving as Missions Editor. As Pastor of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church of Tatum, Texas for over 32 years, he preached expositions of nearly every book of the Bible. Beyond The Pre-Tribulation Illusion is offered as the fruit of teaching and writing Bible Prophecy studies and booklets. It is sent with prayer that God may use it to to help awake and prepare His people for His age ending harvest of lost souls.
