Interesting article and good comments. The Rapture is a term of popular culture that is fun to discuss while talking in the mountains in front of the camp fire and sipping whiskey. The Lord is King and He alone knows.
It is funny how Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists and a bunch of other gnostics have publicly stated the dates of the Rapture. Sadly, all have been incorrect. I had a friend in Berkeley who went to Independence, Missouri to prepare for the rapture that would take place and he was hurrying to go before it happened sometime in 1997. Yikes! Don’t miss out!
1997? I must re-read my book 88 REASONS WHY THE RAPTURE WILL BE IN 1988!
Then I have another prophecy date made in the neo-nazi SPOTLIGHT tabloid back on Oct 10 1983 that stated the End Times would begin with an universal earthquake in 1983 and the Apostolic Age would begin in on Oct 5/6, 1984.
None of the Prophecies of the end times have ever panned out, so the modern day “pro-fits” of the end times keep changing the dates.
Today’s Christians spend too much time on speculation. So many spend too much their time trying to “prove” the first chapters of Genesis, others spend their time trying to prove Revelation(Apocalypse), and the IMPORTANT part between gets ignored.
