The rapture is a new dogma, that assures middle class white Christians that they will be taken away safe during persecution by antiChrist forces.

However, the millions of Russian, Chinese, Asian, Arab and African believers who died over the last 100 years and are still facing persecution today because they believe in Christ are never mentioned by those preaching this doctrine.

Just think, one day people will wake up, or just stop and look around, and everyone that they knew and those they didn’t know that were redeemed by the blood of Christ will have vanished from the face of the earth. Oh glorious day. Of course we probably have to get to the point on this earth where those who remain here will be far more glad all these people are gone than they are in worrying about where they might have gone and why. But we in this Country are getting a real glimpse into the dynamics of it right now. The looney left would be THRILLED if every Trump supporter simply vanished this minute, and the MSM would be right there making up some sort of lies to account for it though “science”! Trump supporters are currently the target, but soon the Bible will be declare hate speech and anyone who has one or who believes what it says will be the targets(which probably includes 99% of Trump supporters anyway). The only real question is, will you be left behind, or not.

How bizarre of you! The Great Departure was first revealed to Jewish men and women. The audience on the Day of Pentecost was made up of peoples from all over and doubtless included black Jews. The Body of Believers since that Pentecost day IS the Body of Christ snatched away in the Great Departure.

In the Revelation to John, Jesus shows John the Redeemed from all over the world (including all 'ethnos' across time) as witnessing the opening of the seven sealed scroll. That first seal allows the antichrist to ride upon the scene. The Redeemed are from all nations and races.

Only liberals have to detail skin pigment levels or race.

The Rapture of the Church takes all living believers who are saved - of every tribe, tongue, and nation.

First, we may die before this happens, you are correct. However the Rapture was taught by Paul and Jesus, not white Christian Americans.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

Second, it is clear that the Dead in Christ rise first! (1 Thess 4:16)

Third, we will know who the Antichrist is (2 Thess 2:3-4), but some of us will escape.

Sorry “doc” but you’re incorrect!

The Apostle Paul wrote about it. Jesus talked about it.

Cyprian, Tertullian, Ephraim of Assyria, Irenaeus among others all wrote about and believed in The Harpazo as well.

The word “Rapture” is in the Bible as well - in the Latin version.
