The Rapture is a doctrine held by many churches that Christ will come secretly to the earth and take the saints to heaven and some teach that he will later return a second time to setup the kingdom. In this sermon Mr. Smith first shows that this doctrine has only existed for about 200 years and then he shows from passages such as I Thes. 4, Matt. 24, Rev. 11 and Zech. 14 that Christ's return to the earth will not be done in secret.
