Rapture believers thought that they need not worry about fighting to save America from the spread of Marxist ideology in U.S. institutions because they would be Raptured out.
I'm not saying this is accurate or not...just that it is food for thought.
Every one of us has our own personal Armageddon, and that is called death. Prepare for that, and everything else falls into place.
The JoHos are probably the worst of the lot, when it comes to this sort of nonsense. I have already lived through SEVERAL of the dates they claimed for the “End of the World”®, namely 1972, 1975, 1985, 1999, 2000, 2012, etc. etc. etc...
I also lived in the Golden Triangle region of Southern Ontario for several years, whilst attending Uni, and a lot of the (older) locals would talk about how the Canadian Branch of Watchtower was so paranoid about the 1972 date that they bought up a huge tract of land outside of Georgetown, ON, and spent several years in the Sixties building their Canadian headquarters with a large “underground city” dug below it.
Driving past the HQ at ground level, it just looks like several hundred acres of farmland that looks oddly-flat, for land in the Niagara Peninsulal region, and the actual ‘above-ground’ HQ building is rather disappointingly small...
Corrie Ten Boom who survived a German Concentration camp said the following: “In China, the Christians were told, Don’t worry, before the tribulation comes you will be translated-raptured. Then came terrible persecution. Millions of Christians were tortured to death. Later I heard a Bishop from China say, sadly,
We have failed. We should have made the people strong for persecution, rather than telling them Jesus would come first. Tell the people how to be strong in times of persecution, how to stand when the tribulation comes -to stand and not faint.”
We are one day closer to the rapture than we were yesterday.
Incorrect title
Billions and billions have died waiting for the ‘end of the world’ to come.
Whenever I need my faith strengthened or seek fellowship FR is the last place I go.
The best you can do is find examples from a minimum of 13 years ago and then a few from cults to try to discredit the rapture?
You are making a fool of yourself.
for jesus said, no man knows the time... so everyday i wake up and say today is the day, that’s how i am postponing judgement.
Don’t forget. 1994 Are You Ready? Howard Camping.
i see nowhere a “ date” or “ time” set.
that makes you a ....
OkeeDokee. So, give me some evidence that the Rapture has not already occurred. How do you know that you were judged unworthy and left behind?
This all looks like Satan has assumed control, don’t it?
Wasn’t “The Rapture” supposed to be a hip-hop festival in Detroit?
I remember the “88 Reasons” book. I even bought one. But I learned early on never to put much credence on books/teachings like this.
You aren't one of those "the Zionists are exterminating the palestianians to create the New World Order" types, are you?
Current situation in Ukraine has a potential for it but I think it’s a low probability.
