A curious article. I’ve seen this form many times before - the castigation of ‘some Christians’ for not doing enough ( not being ‘good enough’) to feel as though they’ve earned and are worthy of their grace, followed by some flavor of leftist politics intended to pull support or interest away from preferred political viewpoint.
By hammering a guilt-inducing condition ( rightfully, Christians should consider their unthinking human response to the human tragedy ) and denigrating Christians for not being at the ‘acceptable point’ on their walk with Christ - that’s manipulation. It’s abusive, and the reader should take care in internalizing some other human’s bile - practice discernment wherever possible.
William Miller is perhaps the most famous false prophet in history.
In the 1840s he began to preach about the world's end, saying Jesus Christ would return for the long-awaited Second Coming and that Earth would be engulfed in fire sometime between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844.
He circulated his message in public gatherings and by using the technologies of the day — posters, printed newsletters and charts.
Moved by those messages, as many as 100,000 "Millerites" sold their belongings between 1840 and 1844 and took to the mountains to wait for the end. When that end didn't come, Miller changed the date to Oct. 22. When Oct. 23 rolled around, his loyal followers explained it away yet again and went on to form the Seventh-day Adventist movement.
Begone tribulation. I await the rapture.
Wut are y’all going on about?
The rapture occurred a while back. Part of that action is the erasure of the realization of that event. Not that it could occur, but that it already has.
We are all the leftovers.
