Ah yes,

The rapture.

One of those American born (dispensationalisms - thank you John Darby) ideas in that sea of 10,000 Christian flavors today where without any true traditions or apostolic succession we just reinvent Christianity.

Well and truly said and every word of it. More Fundy nonsense. Last time I checked the word “rapture” was nowhere to be found in the Bible.

Such a weak and often repeated meme. Trinity is not in the Bible either, yet we can discern the reality of it. If you want to look for the arrival of the lawless one, you can do it for those not ‘in Christ’ will see the revelation of the false savior, antiChrist -if they survive the cataclysms which will happen in places where a large number of Christ’s own have died and are now living.

Ah yes, you're the scoffers we were warned about thousands of years ago:

    2 Peter 3:3-7
    Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world of that time perished in the flood. And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

    Jude 1:18,19
    “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.” These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit
