Rapture

There has been an increase in the number of New York Times bestsellers of late on the Rapture. "Is it really going to happen?" "What will happen to those left behind?" Even the churches are vehemently preaching about (against or for) the End.

What really, is the Rapture all about?

There are 3 schools of thought - the pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation and post-tribulation. I don't think I should bore anyone with the nitty gritty details with the latter two, since they are not my take. Let's just hear more about the pre-tribulation then.

We are currently living at end of the Church age, where the political and climatic situations on earth are starting to turn erratic. Basically, everyone is shouting "PEACE!" but no one paying heed. Israelites will continue to cause damage to the Palestinians as long as Allah is God to them. Truly, the issue was never about THE land. It has always been about THE God.

Following tightly behind the Church age is the Age of Lawlessness. The Rapture is wedged right in between the 2.

No words can describe the horror and wickedness Humankind will be subjected to during the Age of Lawlessness. For 7 years, God will mask His eyes and allow the Beast to do whatever he wants to us.

The aim and purpose of the Rapture is thus to bring the dead and living in Christ up to Heaven in a twinkle of a moment, to escape the vicious and vile Age that is to follow immediately.

To many scientists, this phenomenon will be THE Bermuda Triangle effect played big, possibly a result of the clashes of the comets causing a Black Hole. They will theorise, postulate and even prove the origins of the Rapture.

To the left behind Chistians, they can only steel themselves for the vile Age to come.

My after taste? Whatever may come, it's definitely not a bed of roses. I can only wish that it will not come during my lifetime.
