Why do people still talk about a rapture?

Question

it occurred 12/26/04

Answer 1

There is no "RAPTURE"





"End Times"..........no one knows when and I think it's sad that so many are focused on this "rapture" thing when all should just be walking in the way of the Lord and following his commandments.
Enjoy life that God gave you and walk in his ways.
Peace be with you.



The Apocalypse Of Saint John
Chapter 22
16 I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star. 17 And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come: and he that will, let him take the water of life, freely. 18 For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book. 20 He that giveth testimony of these things, saith, Surely I come quickly: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Answer 2

Sorry it didn't. We are still under the "No man knows the day or the hour". neither do we know that it will proceed Jesus. we really don't know. The ONLY thing we do know is that it has not yet occurred-or either Jesus would be here or we would be involved in the Tribulation in some way already.

Answer 3

Since the last (not just past) millennium tried and failed to false end with Y2K, along with a 3 1/2 year (42 month) countdown from Grenwich (which notably began in June 1996); And especially since there is no consensus among "carnal" people...

It reasons even 12/26/04 is too late for any pre-mid-post rapture theories. So it's endure unto the end to be saved(only) by grace(only) for all who would make it to the end alive unto God;...
http://www.godshew.org/RevelatorySermons8.htm

As the only other option is both saved(graced) + destroyed(lawed) afterward noted in Jude 5, with the "no escape" sort of "destruction" notably coming upon "them", the "they say"-ers who say Peace & Safety, safety in law worketh wrath, in 1Thess 5:3. For God hath not appointed "us" unto wrath(law: Romans 4:15): 1Thess 5:9. Rather God hath given "us" the victory "through" Jesus->Christ: "the end of the law". Selah.

So if I was still either one of 'two thems': 'them vs them': scape-goats vs dumb-sheep who "oppose themselves" with 'law vs law' on high (mind not high things, be not high-minded) I'd be converting to one of us, and asap. For the Lord is notably long-suffering to "us-ward" (not them-ward)

It's now 2007AD->, the 7th year of the prophetic "third day" is also the seventh day when counting the days in John 1 & 2:1; No longer the "last days"(plural), but the "last day"(singular). Selah.

The only question remaining is will such a last day(light) be "the day of the LORD" or "the day of God" compared by Peter;...

Hint: Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness and not light: Amos 5:18

...Day of the LORD vs day of God: As if a Sabbaths shewdown, since two Sabbaths (eg: Easter week has two Sabbaths) is one too many Sabbaths: And a "Lord also" of the Sabbath (the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath) is one too many Lords. Not to mention Revelation takes place on a Sabbath, evident from the seven benedictions therein, which only occured on the Sabbath.
http://www.godshew.org/Revelations4.htm

Not to meniton the end of the God Shew is already written:

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 4

Sorry, No it did not. And with people trying to set dates, down to the very moment, will not even know when the rapture takes place.

Answer 5

What are you doing here then? I thought all the believers were going to be taken away to live with big J. Only us nonbelievers, Jews, Muslims, Hindu, Buddhists, Agnostic, Sun Worshipers, Mormons, etc. are going to get in the big fight then roast in the fire.

Ummmm fire roasted people, smells pleasing to the lord's nose.

Answer 6

Why wouldn't they? It is their hope to get to heaven that way.

As a religious tool, It's easy to predict that something will happen indefinitely in the future and then perpetuate that it will happen, it just hasn't yet.

Answer 7

if it did, then i won't be here. I would be in paradise with Jesus...and you won't be writing this question, you would be devising ways to escape anti-christ and his mark of destruction....or maybe you would have been his follower by now..

Answer 8

They're crazy. Some people just have to believe in fairy tales

Answer 9

They have been decieved, and following cunningly devised fables is more pleasing to them than true worship. (sounds like you have too)

Answer 10

Because it hasn't happened yet despite what you may think you know
