Rapture

Rapture

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

Do the words of the apostle Paul here—and in other passages of Scripture—describe a secret, end-time rapture of God's followers into the heavens? Or are they referring to something different? What will really happen when Christ returns? Find out below!

Vain Predictions and A Silent Chair

A blog post by Darris McNeely

I believe we have had enough talk of predictions of the end of the world for one week. Harold Camping's musings about a rapture and the end of the age and Christ's coming have been the fodder of skeptics and religious hobbyists. Mr. Camping has now moved his end of the world calculations to October 21, 2011. Please, let's end this foolish chatter.

Averting Apocalypse Later: October 21, 2011

A blog post by John Ross Schroeder

Why do some people continually fall for repeated postponement dates predicting the "end of the world?" According to Harold Camping in his show "Open Forum," a brand new judgment day threatens us all in the autumn. Why do some continue to believe his prophecies, seemingly ignoring and explaining away past failures?

May 21 Judgment Day?

Michael Snyder

Save the Date - Return of Christ - May 21, 2011

Many individuals, past and present, have made false and misleading claims about the end times. Harold Camping is the most recent of these. While such people feel like they are doing the work of God, in reality they are producing skepticism and a lack of faith when their prophecies fail. We must treat God's Word with respect and care when teaching about prophecy.

Who’s Afraid of May 21?

A blog post by Milan Bizic

May 21 typically comes and goes without me noticing. That’s not going to happen this year, thanks to radio evangelist and author Harold Camping. Camping’s predictions of the “rapture” and the beginning of the end of the world are well-known. Now many Christians are concerned and afraid, wondering whether they’ll be raptured on May 21 or whether they’ll die in worldwide calamity.

Harold Camping, False Prophet or True?

A blog post by Darris McNeely

Harold Camping has predicted the end will come on May 21, 2011. Is he correct or is he another in a long line of false prophets whose predictions about the end of the world and the coming of Jesus Christ have failed? We'll know by this weekend

The 89 year old Camping is a fundamentalist radio preacher and co-founder of the Family Radio network which broadcasts on several radio stations across the United States. His followers have sponsored billboards across the country and distributed pamphlets from caravans where they proclaim the coming apocalypse.

An Overview of End-Time Prophecy

Jerold Aust

There are as many end-time scenarios based to some degree on Bible prophecy as there are prophetic teachers. Is there a singular overview of end-time prophecy that can help protect you from end-time catastrophes?
