A current MSN poll from more than 50,000 responses 67% said that they believe in The Rapture or Judgement Day.
67%. Really.
So, what is The Rapture, and where did it come from, and why is the topic of discussion these days?
First of all, the word Rapture is not found in the Bible. It came from a Presbyterian minister named Edward Irving somewhere around 1830, some-17 centuries after we heard from the Big Man himself. It THEN was popularized by another self-appointed scholar named John Darby
Here’s what he wrote and here’s what a 67% sampling believes:
... John , who wrote the book of Revelations, describes an Anti-Christ-like neighbor, who fast-becomes a popular World Leader, arrives promising Salvation of a "different" kind (See Homosexuality & Promiscuity),
BUT, according to Second Thesalonians, the anti-christ will enter into the famed Jewish Temple; problems was, it no longer existed. Enter the Book of Daniel which, after obviously exhaustive meetings with architects & mathmeticians, decided the Jewish Temple should to be re-built because our Savior would, i mean, our Anti-Christ, would be returning soon..., HOWever, the very site of this Temple in Limbo, unfortunately is presently vacated by the Islamic Dome of the Rock.
Ooops. ThaaaATS not gonna work. I bet the boys in he truck gotta LAUGH outta THAT one! Anyway, IF Johns Revelation, which is the only reason we're talking today, comes TRUE, then the Apocalyp---- The Rapture, would face only ONE FORCE against the Anti-Christ... yEP! you guessed it, The Christian Conservative.
Ya see, the Christian Conservative, the Group of Christians & Jews, who weren't Raptured mind you, kindof felt Bad about messin up on the whole Doomsday Thing; But, what with it not being IN the BIBLE at ALL who could blame 'em [?!] So.. they have this kind-of Axe to Grind, and they end up being the ONLY TRUE soldiers; Soo... they GO to Israel-- wait. They go to --errr, no wait, it IS Israel...ANNYWAYS, They end up thinking they were SAVED, only to find out they were following the False God all along .... BUTTTT! JoHN! who created the whole mess, decided that It would be MORE clear, by DECODing the amazing result... John WAS always the Enigma.
So, there you have it. in PLAIN English.
[Laughing] Its sooo obvious ... yet so Cryptic.
I Mean...at least they weren't imagining some crazy 72-virgin thing...!!?
