The rapture is new to the Christian scene. It arose in the late 1800's, when Margaret MacDonald, a fifteen-year-old Scottish girl, claimed to have it revealed to her in a vision. Her vision was then picked up and popularized by the famous British preacher J.N. Darby, during his extensive travels in America.

The coming of Christ for His Body was being taught and written down in the first century by Paul, and even mentioned earlier, albeit quite briefly since they were not yet ready for the revelation, by Jesus himself. The author undermines his work by perpetuating this myth that it is an invention of man. I wonder if he thinks justification by faith was a recent invention as well? He should spend more time with God and an open Bible, and less time watching movies.

Any Spirit-filled Believer who reads Paul's letters, especially the two written to the Thessalonians (to Believers), will see quite clearly God's plan for the Body of Christ. However, without first understanding the Truth found in Romans through Colossians, really knowing the depth of God's love and what Jesus has done for the Body of Christ, you will struggle understanding why Jesus would save The Church from the wrath to come.

Watch whatever films you want, or think whatever religion tells you to think. But for the Love of God, read HIS Word and see what HE says about it! Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the Truth to you. Believers are not to be in darkness.
