I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?

    Today is the Day of Trumpets, which happened to be the day Messiah Yeshua returns in the future, after some things happen. This Jesuit hype happens every year, and they (the Jesuits) will eventually stage a fake Rapture and traumatize those who didn’t “make it” because they weren’t Jesuit enough… if they hadn’t faked a Rapture already.

    One more piece of proof is that the term “Rapture” is nowhere found in the Scriptures. People being taken up has to do specifically with something else entirely (I don’t remember it off the top of my head right now). This is from my producer’s research on the matter, which I attempted to verify myself.

      Yeah, the whole idea of the Rapture is extra-Biblical. Invented in 1830 by John Nelson Darby.

        That seems to be futurist language that is used, whereas my producer and I are not futurists (for we’d be Jesuit fraudsters if we believed that). It’s also found in dispensation theology, which is a pot of crock too.
