Rapture............?

Question

I'm ready.

Answer 1

Good for you

Answer 2

The term "rapture", and most of the popular ideas associated with it, arose out of the dispensational and millenarian (Adventist) movements of the mid to latter 19th century. That suggests that the idea of a "rapture," especially the idea of a "secret" rapture, is far more historically and culturally conditioned then it is a biblical or theological truth. The biblical references, that are most used, such as yours to support a rapture do not clearly support the idea at all. They all firmly support a "second coming" (whatever form that might take), a Resurrection, and a Judgment, all without giving any solid details about any of them.

I think the biblical, answer is ... we do not know. lol We do know "That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place." I'm perfectly happy with that!

Answer 3

You're about 9 years too late. The rapture was back in the fall of 1998.

Answer 4

Good on you... way to spend your life, waiting for it to end.
Nice.
This whole 'rapture' BS is a great way of conning gullible people into being 'good christians' before it's all too late. It's just an extension of the heaven and hell story.
And outside of a very narrow religious belief, it has no basis in reality whatsoever.

Answer 5

Rapture, rapture, rapture right into satan’s arms.

Have a good trip.

Answer 6

ok - Blondies rapture here goes !..

Toe to toe
Dancing very slow
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotised
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture

Back to back
Sacrailiac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack

Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock

Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!
