Our Blessed Hope
by Chuck Missler
We continue to receive many questions concerning the “Rapture” of the church and its apparent contrast with the “Second Coming” of Jesus Christ. Where does this strange view come from? Is the term “rapture” even in the Bible?
Clearly, the idea of the Rapture can be considered the most preposterous belief in Biblical Christianity. It reminds me of the famous quote by Dr. Richard Feynman, speaking of quantum physics:
I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics... in fact, it is often stated of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. Some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it, in fact, is that it is unquestionably correct.
The situation regarding the doctrine of the Rapture is painfully similar.
Yes, that’s a good article from Church Missler on the Rapture. I remember getting one of his audio downloads about the Rapture, a long while back. I’ve still got it around here somewhere on my computer... :-)
I went to see Chuck and Hal Lindsey and Dave Hunt at a prophecy conference in 1996. Chuck dodged his Y-2-K sensationalism for quite a while.
