The Non-Existent Rapture

Summary

The sermon challenges the popular concept of the rapture, emphasizing that the word "rapture" is not found in the Bible and that the traditional teaching of a secret snatching away of Christians before a tribulation period is not biblically supported. The preacher explains that key scriptures often cited for the rapture actually describe the final resurrection and second coming of Christ as a single, public event. The message encourages believers to find comfort in the biblical promise of resurrection and reunion with Christ rather than fear-based doctrines. The sermon also critiques the influence of modern fictional works and theological interpretations that promote the rapture theory.
