[QUOTE="wyldberi, post: 97350, member: 6095"] 4. : the Rapture, Theology. = the doctrine popularized by several American fundamentalist Christian preachers that "true Christians" will be spared from having to live through the period when the anti-Christ rules on earth. Instead, they and their cohorts will be snatched away to a place of safety somewhere beyond earth while the rest of humanity is forced to suffer through a number of plagues and punishments. . This teaching has been knocking around in one form or another for several centuries. It exists in several flavors, differentiated by the belief of when it will take place. Every version is based on the few passages found in the Bible that describe the return of the Christ, the resurrection of those who died believing in Christian salvation, and that period of time when the anti-Christ is allowed to rule on earth. In particular, "The dead in Christ shall rise first, then, we that are alive and remain will be taken to meet Christ in the air." . You can go to Wikipedia and search for: Rapture; Antichrist; Second coming; Apocalypse; and click on links to other terms found in those articles to find out more. . The origin of the popular American version is attributed to fear-based teachings of evangelists during the early 1800's. Selective interpretation and juxtaposition of assorted pieces of scripture were used to create a doctrine that offered a way to escape the trials and tribulations described therein. There is no single passage in the Bible that supports this idea as it is taught in its different permutations today. There are, however, passages that contradict this teaching and promise that Christians will be persecuted for their faith during their lifetimes. [/QUOTE]
