The origins of the doctrine of the rapture are hotly debated. The Orthodox, mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches, which represent the majority of Christians worldwide, have no tradition of such a teaching and reject the doctrine, in part because they cannot find any reference to it among any of the early Church fathers [1] and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do.
The Truth of Catholic doctrine is just as true now as it was 2,000 years ago, no matter how badly it may be presented in our confusing times. Hang on to the Faith and never let hierarchs or bad presentations of the Faith keep you from Truth and the Sacraments.

The End of Days happened over 1930 years ago, and Revelations was about the long-dead Roman Empire.
So the belief that the rapture is comming is just a scare tactic produced by the church to keep people comming to church.

The thing that you must realize is that God has it all in the palm of His hand. All things serve the perfect will of God. Things happen in His time according to His plan.You see, God transcends time, as well as space. When He began to create, He was already finished. Only we, as His creations must wait to see what will happen, and when. This is Biblical. Jesus told His disciples that only the Father knew when certain things would happen, such as the restoration of Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the temple, etc. What an awesome God we serve.

The rapture will not come early. It will come at the appointed hour that is already set by GOD.

God is outside of time..So He already knows the end....So there is no possibility of Him being early or late.....Only right on time.
