The Satanically Inspired Rapture of the Church

John Nelson Darby

Ever since being a very small child I have held a pre-wrath stance relative to the Rapture of the Church.

I have adopted that attitude for a very good reason.

There is nothing that I can find anywhere in the word of God that gives even the slightest hint of a Rapture of the Church.

In fact, the very early church/Christians said nothing at all about a Rapture. 

That in turn makes the Rapture a very recent invention indeed, more than likely going back in time only a couple of hundred years to its founder, Margaret McDonald and John Nelson Darby.

However, there are still quite clearly those out there who would prefer to hold fast to the idea of a Rapture of the Church even though common sense (and the word of God) dictates that there is no such event in store for mankind.

Just to fuel the satanically inspired passion for a Rapture of the Church there are several movies that Hollywood has produced lately dealing with the subject matter.

There is one such movie quite readily available for download on the internet at called “Final, the Rapture.

Obviously, the Rapture myth still remains a subject matter that still remains quite consistent within the realms of the thought patterns of some.

If there are those who are interested, why not take a look at the movie.

Please note though that even though I appear to be advocating the movie that does not necessarily mean that I agree with the contents of the movie.

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
