Yeah... "that's the ticket" ...

We need some "comic book exegetics" around here ... LOL ...


Exegesis

Exegesis (from the Greek ἐξηγεῖσθαι 'to lead out') is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially a religious text. Traditionally the term was used primarily for exegesis of the Bible; however, in contemporary usage it has broadened to mean a critical explanation of any text, and the term Biblical exegesis is used for greater specificity. The goal of Biblical exegesis is to explore the meaning of the text which then leads to discovering its significance or relevance.


You may have mistaken this thread for the "comic book variety" that you favor ... doncha know ... LOL ...

Dispensationalism and the Rapture/Coming 1.5 doctrines are 19th and 20th Century fiction and are not part of orthodox Christian teaching.

When Our Lord returns, He won’t be stopping halfway down. When He comes, time and space will fade away and every man will stand in person before the Just Judge.

Instead of worrying about some silly, made-up rapture, let’s concern ourselves with being ready to meet the Lord at any time. After all, this very day could be “the end times” for any of us.
