My dad has been following this Rapture thing since the early 70’s and it’s the same mantra decade after decade but with differrnt preachers.
Here’s a clue. Yes, the Rapture IS imminent, in that our Sovereign Lord and various prophets in the Word of God have stated as much. OTOH, Jesus also stated that the Redemption Story and the offer of Eternal Salvation must be proclaimed to every tribe, tongue and nation; and THEN shall the end come. The oranization: Faithcomesbyhearing.com has stated that with their latest methods of spreading the Word, the gospel is being preached to the most remote and lost people groups in the most remote and benighted areas; and multitudes are being saved and taught. Wycliffe Translaters, et al, have allied themselves with that organization and claim that the several billions of as yet unreached peoples will all be reached and hear the gospel by sometime in 2033. Of course, God can sound the final trumpet any time He desires. But the year 2033 is projected for the last people group to be reached.
“...it’s the same mantra decade after decade but with different preachers.”
My old man was into it as well. I still have the book he sent me about how the rapture was to happen in 1988. Although I’m glad my dad was ready for the rapture - he died in 1988 after a short illness. Hmm....
