Bad theology corrupts and confuses those who refuse to read what His Holy Word says.

Maybe you believe in a works based salvation?
Maybe you wish to write books & make money off of your analysis?

Instead of focusing on the Latin word ‘rapture’ - why don’t you instead focus on what The Lord has done to rescue His People in the past - and why He will do it again.

1. Noah
2. Lot
3. Israel escaping Egypt

John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

God has never judged His people with the wicked. He’s not about to start because He doesn’t change.

Believe it or not - I’m looking for my Blessed Hope.

yes, bad theology corrupts and confuses those who refuse to read He says -- and rapture is a perfect example of this bad theology

the left behind rapture fantasy negates Christ's own words that "in this generation" it shall pass

btw, that link to rap ture (not the Blondie song) on your page is hilarious.


Let’s see “the reunification of Europe” — err.. Europe was never unified and it isn’t unified now — the EU doesn’t include a large chunk of eastern Europe (Russia, Bialorus, Ukraine, Moldova), nor does it include Thrace. And “Europe” has never, I repeat, never been unified.

Oh you mean the “Roman Empire unified Europe” - well nope - the Roman Empire was primarily a Mediterranean based empire - to “reunify the Roman Empire” would be to have all of the Med littoral lands unified and not including northern Germany or the Netherlands or Poland or Scandinavia


Ooh and another doozy “the number of global wars that have occured” - wait, don’t you want to include the 7 years war between Britain and France and allies that was fought on the continents of North America, South America, Europe and Asia as a world war? That happened in the 1700s.

“a third burnt up” — Rev 8:7 says “a third of the land was burnt up” — this is the description of what happened during the Jewish war that led up to the destruction of Jerusalem - the first trumpet, the destruction of the land - the scorched earth policy of the Empire
Refer to the writings of Josephus

“Truly, the very view itself of the country was a melancholy thing; for those places which were before adorned with trees and pleasant gardens were now become a desolate country in every way, and its trees were all cut down. Nor could any foreigner that had formerly seen Judea and the most beautiful suburbs of the city, and now saw it as a desert, but lament and mourn sadly at so great a change... nor if anyone that had known the place before, had come on a sudden to it now, would he have known it again; but though he were standing at the city itself, yet would he have inquired for it notwithstanding”

The wars of the Jews by Josephus book 6 chapter 1
In Rev 9:15 a “third” of men are killed.

The “third” signifies that part of the population was killed - the Roman Tenth Legion, which was stationed beyond the Euphrates

the reference to Daniel 9:27 — which Jesus refers in Matthew 24:15-16 is explictly his prophecy that the people living in Jerusalem in 69 AD should flee to the mountains when the 10th legion came — AND The Christians did listen to Jesus - they fled to Pellas in the mountains and NOT a SINGLE Christian died in the sacking of Jerusalem as they had already fled.
