Mr Cage is trying to work his way out of Bankruptcy. He’s probably good for this role though because he appears to be lost.

He is factually correct. This did not exist in Christianity until the 1800s or so.

I’ve read pretty extensively on this. I personally don’t agree with the author of this article.

Well, one way or another, followers of The Lord Jesus Christ living at the time will find out first hand.

So the Tribulation isn’t happening either then?

All depends what your understanding is. There used to be four teachings of the end times scenarios, today there are three, because too much has happened for the fourth to be a viable option.
That leaves three, and from my studies on them, they all make great arguments for their belief. they can all back their stance up with Scripture, and they all have very good Theological teachers who agree on everything else, but eschatology.
So, have a good time debating it, because as far as I am concerned only the father knows as Christ told His disciples.
I advise everyone to be ready at all times, because like a thief in the night, so too will the Lord return.

I used to be a pre-tribulationist - the first year I was a Christian. Then I studied the subject.
I’m now “pre-wrath, post trib”.
A lot of Christians, IMHO, are going to be very confused when they are still here as the civilized world crumbles around them.

Rapture has always had a spiritual connotation to it. In Catholic theology it is called "ecstasy," as in a spiritual lifting of the soul.
So, it may not mean a lifting of the body but rather a greater attention to God because the person is paying greater attention to the Holy Spirit.

“If you read the book of Revelation, you won’t find any mention of the rapture there,”
Not the WORD “rapture”. But read Revelation 7 right after the 144,000 are sealed.

It's not a question of whether the rapture occurs, it's one of timing. Pretribulational rapturism is a relatively recent concept only being popularized in the past 170 years or so.
The attempt to keep the Church out of the 70th Week can not be supported biblically in my view. I agree the rapture does occur at Christ's Second Coming. Van Kampen and Rosenthal refer to it more specifically as the Prewrath Rapture.
To: SeekAndFind
Looks like there’s a rupture about the rapture.

A lot of Christians, IMHO, are going to be very confused when they are still here as the civilized world crumbles around them. Yep. Rapture/left behind is a recent construction, and not Biblical.

My favorite Nicolas Cage line, from Wild at Heart:
Cage: Did I ever tell you that this here snakeskin jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom?
