Who invented the rapture?

  • The rapture is Bible doctrine. It's read in ALL the churches and has been read in the churches since approximately A.D. 50 when Paul the Apostle wrote it in the book of 1st Thessalonians.

    The term comes from the Latin Vulgate Bible translation, one of the earliest translations from the original Greek text. The catching way. 1st Thessalonians in the Bible, chapter 4 and 5 describes what will happen. God will have a special relationship with a group throughout eternity, that have receiving Him. God has been telling us since Adam and Eve about marriage and this relationship will be like Marriage, but not in a sexual way. He will treat this group as a married spouse should. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard nor has entered the minds of man the things prepared for us.

    An ancient Jewish marriage tradition tells us what Jesus was talking about, concerning, only the Father (God the Father) knows the day and the hour when He (Jesus, God the Son) would come. The father of the Jewish groom would decide when a man was ready had made preparations and to get his bride. The groom had earlier proposed and gone away to prepare a place for his bride then come later to get her.

    Christians like myself, see the signs and know the rapture is about to take place.

    The opportunity for you to accept Jesus Christ and be saved is now.

    Romans 10:9-13 explains how and you can do that right now.

    It took ages to come to some understanding of it.

    But the most recent variety, sometime in the mid 1800s

    But, the rapture taught and the scriptures used for it, Is not scriptural

    China will attack Russia. Russia will be the only country not under the Jewish antichrist from the tribe of Dan. Future Russian Tsar will protect all who don't want to be under the antichrist (flying pale homesexual man with red eyes). Hence, Slavs (particularly Russians) are the chosen people. In general, Orthodox Christians are the chosen people. Orthodox Church's three biggest saints (in this order) are Theotokos Virgin Mary, John the Baptist (who was beheaded on 9/11), and Tsar Nicholas II (who bled for 5 hours). Seraphim of Sarov and Sergius of Radonezh will soon be resurrected. Putin's real name is Shalom-ov; he's a Jew just like everyone who controls Russia today. Poroshenko's real name is Waltz-man; he's a Jew as well; only Jews control Ukraine. Hence, there is no Cold War as Jews control USA too. It's all a charade. Order out of chaos. Ever heard of Scido amafreikis? It's hard-boiled egg sprinkled with ashes from a cloth soaked in Christian blood. That's what they eat. The rest of Christian remains is given to McDonalds. Iran is to be blamed for the SoL. KKK and ISIS are funded by Sionists. ISIS = Israeli Secret Intelligence Service = daughter of Mossad. Al Qaeda = daughter of CIA. First Mossad does the Statue of Liberty, then some "old" bridge, then explosion in the sea floods New Sodom (New York), later New Gomorah (Los Angeles) is flooded. God punishes when murder (abortion), witchcraft, and sodomy are legalized. America has to go. Good-bye, America, you filled the earth with your poison (pornography, abortions, sodomy, murdering civilians worldwide, etc.); and now you pay for the blood of the innocent. 666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; don't take any electronics with you so that antichrist's minions can't make contact then. Feed the pigeons. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael. Forgive me. youtube.com/watch?v=94rcOVJBMYQ youtube.com/watch?v=mdvxfuTA0PE youtube.com/watch?v=8dub8PF2d8E
