Answer 2

Rapture Doctrine
A Stumbling Block for Christians

Before 1830 you can find no mention of the Rapture Doctrine. That alone ought to send up a red flag. In fact, the word "rapture" is not in the Bible. So, where did this false doctrine come from?

In 1830 Margaret MacDonald had an evil revelation on her sick bed, supposedly from God, in which she was shown what would become "The Rapture Of The Church", among other names.

And, from The Incredible Cover-up by Dave Macpherson, Appendix A, you'll read:

"I felt this needed to be revealed, and that there was great darkness and error about it; but suddenly what it was burst upon me with a glorious light." - Margaret MacDonald (Spring of 1830)

MacDonald's revelation would have probably died with her; however, two preachers grabbed it, cleaned it up, and presented it to Christendom. Today, you'll hear many pastors promoting that false doctrine from pulpits.

Answer 3

Davie G is right on the money . My vote goes to him. God knew that satan would pull this rapture crap. So God make sure that we would know what He thinks of satan rapture scam. In Ezekiel 13:20 King James bible is clearest on this subject. It quotes God as saying .." I am AGAINST those that teach my children to [fly] (rapture) to save their soul" Why would anyone teach their class all year long just to eliminate the final exams at the last second? Just like anything else, if it seems too good to be true it usually is.

Answer 4

No one can date Christs' return for the Church, but given the interpretation of the signs of the times being what they are, it's not hard to estimate that when compared to the CNN news that His return could be in a lot less than 50 years! If I HAD to try and put my own number on it, I'd say His return would be in less than 10.

Answer 5

I believe it will. My grandmother always said that she thought it was getting close to time for the Rapture, because it was never discussed when she was a little girl, but as the years passed, it became more talked about. She thought this was God's way of preparing His people for the occurrence.

Answer 6

The rapture is an invention of XIXth century evangelists. There is flimsy scriptural evidence for it at best. It is no more reasonable to believe in the rapture than it is to believe flying saucers are coming to rescue you.
Live your life well and stop worrying about extraordinary events beyond your control.

Answer 7

I was hoping in the next 50 days.

Answer 8

I just love the idea of the Rapture. A gang of people persuade themselves that the world will end in a horrifying and painful cataclysm, and then invent an escape hatch that will allow them to avoid the whole process.

Answer 9

Too late for rapture theories beyond mid 2003.
Only option now is endure unto the end written.

People don't vanish. Law vanishes: 1Cor 13:8.

Answer 10

It is the next step on the prophetic timetable we just don't know how long that could be. Tomorrow would be fine in my opinion...he has to be sick of this world and if God punished Sodom and Gomorrah what does he have in store for us?

Answer 11

The rapture is a false man-made doctrine invented in the 19th century
