Why do some Christians predict the rapture?

The rapture is near – at least according to the high prophecy of one man of South Africa, it will fall on Tuesday or Wednesday.

His claim has turned to germs, and others believe that we will comment on the last times and many are very funny in social media.

“There are millions of Christian Christians today, even hundreds of millions of Christians in the world believe in modern prophecy,” Matthew Taylor, the Jewish higher official at the Institus-Risish Center.

Here is a look of the Roundation of the Rapture and their role in history:

What is the rapture?

Rapture is the belief of other evangelical Christians at the future ceremony when Jesus returns to earth to take true beliefs in heaven before the end of the great tribulation reaches the end of the world.

“Everyone lives on earth for a long time,” said Amy Frykolm, the writer of Rapture Culture: Left Back in Evangelical America.

Usually, in this type of stories, people who were “taken” marveled, said, “While many people were believed to be fine Christians.”

Jesus’ return to second returns, referred to in the Old Testament of Daniel and the New Testament book of Revelation, said Randail Balmer, a professor of religion in Dartmouth College.

Believers were persecuted in the first Christianity during the Roman Empire and saw the book of Revelation as a guarantee that God would eventually extend wickedness, he said.

History of Conservation

The word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible. But there are often identified roles used to support the belief, including 1 Thessalonians, 1 of Corinthians, and Matthew 24.

Belief in the mid-19th century in Britain and elsewhere in English, Frykolm said, adding a second time to arrive, which had been accepted by the remaining belief.

The belief of conduct spreading 20th of Bible conferences, in the missionary media and the publication of the Scofield Reference Reference, clarifies the footprints, said Frykolm. POP culture also improved this belief, including the film with evangelical Christian Horror Hip Thief in the night And the popularity Left behind A novel series.

What is the latest prediction?

Joshua Earth, a South African person who describes them only as a believer outside the religious title, says God allowed him to see the future.

The widely considered video published three months ago, relates by seeing Jesus in the throne and heard that you are coming soon: “It will [September] 23 And on 24, 2025, I will come and take my church. “”

His foreclimity has controversial issues of Christian critics and traveling through communication virus, including tiktok under Hashtag #repreturetok where many mocked a false prophet.

Some commented on the last days of the holy leaders’ high-day leadership days, which began this year on Monday and Rosh handy season – the Jewish New Year.

Some showed that in the event of now, the killing of a Comprision and Christic Christian Charlie Kirk would follow.

“Ideas for the rapture is better understood with a major framework of apocalypticistism, an ancient Jewish view that predicted the ancient Christian Christianity in Cornell University, Mail said.

He said the Apocalyptic ideas that are often fainted between or after painful events, notes that the early Christians believe the last times to come to their lives.

“Their writings now is used by modern-time Christians with a vision of nearby ground – perhaps today,” he said.

Ancient Precinders

California Doomsday Averer Camping predicted that the rapture would happen on May 21, 2011. His Christian independence spent $ millions of distribution. He stopped the prophecy of the community when not coming.

Foretelling Jesus’s approaching return on earth and the end of the earth is unusual, but does not include a texture.

One notable example arrived in the 19th century, where the US farmer William Miller began telling his followers that Jesus would return sometime between 1843 and 1844. Miller said by his self-esteem by his reading of the Bible.

“Many of his followers gathered together and prepared for the translation of Heaven. Did not the day he thought would happen,” says Butmer. “He then returned to his counts and set another day, that is: Oct. 22, 1844, when he confirmed his followers to be translated into heaven. And, he did not happen.”

That moment is known in the history of Christians as a great disappointment.

Seventh-day Adventist week follows its roots in Miller’s preaching.

When Jesus did not return as expected, 000 grain separated into small groups. One, influenced by Ellen White’s ideas, led to the seven-time use and Adventist and Adventist. Some became Jehovah’s Witnesses.

“Some began a secret snatching organization that became the thornelicis widely,” said Frykolmm.

What they were in common, said that they had refused to compose the second day, saying that Jesus said that we would never know the time.

When the prophecies failed, Taylor said, modern-day prophets are often established in the spiritual warfare when they had the right to express theocracy but personality should be blamed in unemployment.

Historically, failed to “have a lot of egg in their face,” said Taylor.
