Hoax or Hope?What is the rapture?Pilots would
disappear from planes, truck drivers from their trucks; people from automobiles, etc.Ever since Christ's death, many Christians have been expecting the second coming in
their immediate future.Most Fundamentalist and other conservative Christians believe
that The Rapture will occur when Christ first returns towards
earth.The rapture concept is essentially ignored by most other Christian faith groups.It does not form a part of any other religion.It is dismissed
by essentially all liberal Christian theologians.For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.This passage contains the main description of the rapture.This
passage was written by St.Paul, circa 51 CE, when he was living in Corinth.This was an early
writing by St.If the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) were arranged in
chronological order, 1 Thessalonians would be the first (or perhaps the second book, after
Galatians).In 1 Thessalonians 4:13, Paul apparently is correcting a
misunderstanding about the return of Christ.Kingdom of God at Christ's return.Some may have believed that through their baptism, that their fellow Christians should
have become immune to death.Some interpreters believe that this refers to a
personal revelation that he received from God.NIV)
In 1 Thessalonians 4:16 Paul describes the return of Christ to earth.Thus, Jesus would have to descend from on high and come through the atmosphere in order to be seen
by humans.This may be similar to the trumpet sounded when the Jewish people
were gathered together (e.Paul
appears to have believed that he and many Christians who were alive circa 50 CE would still be
alive when Christ returns.Those who have ascended to be with Jesus will be with him for all eternity.Most of humanity will remain behind on earth.Christians but who have never been
saved.Christians in Thessalonica during the first century CE.We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
this mortal must put on immortality.In this passage, Paul adds one more concept to the description of the Rapture in 1
Thessalonians.And then shall they see the Son of man coming
in the clouds with great power and glory.This appears to be a brief reference of the parousia and rapture.Various Gospel passages record how Jesus believed that the second coming would occur
very soon, during the lifetime of his followers (i.God's anger is released on humanity.Various theories have been promoted by Christians that have linked the millennium,
tribulation, Armageddon, second coming and tribulation together according to different
schedules and sequences.It was declared a heresy and
suppressed by the church in the 4th Century.This ancient belief was reintroduced in a modified form circa 1830.Premillenialism has received general acceptance
by most modern conservative Christians, following the publishing of the Scofield Reference
Bible in 1909 and in the more modern Ryrie Study Bible.Other respected
supporters of the belief are the Dallas Theological Seminary and Moody Bible Institute.Theologians remain currently divided over the timing of the Rapture.The Rapture happens just
before the Tribulation, so that believers will not have to experience any of its
disruption and pain.Initially, the rule of the Antichrist is relatively benign.All suffer and many are killed.Believers are
then raptured at the end of the 7 years of horror.Christians down through the ages has been to predict the
timing of the end of the world.There was great dissatisfaction among believers when it did not happen.Jehovah's Witnesses predicted that Armageddon would start in
1914.The Witnesses later predicted 1918, 1920, 1925, and 1941.The Millennium Watch Institute attempted to track all social and
religious developments associated with the year 2000.The World As We Know It) and the rapture.Conservative Theologians and Believers: Most Evangelical Christians
believe that the Rapture, as described in the three biblical verses listed above, will happen precisely as
described, sometime in the near future.Jesus Christ in the sky.They will rise out of
their graves and ascend to meet Jesus.There is a common theme found in many conservative Christian novels about the end
times.The Tribulation is seen as causing mass confusion among those left behind.Parts of dead bodies, some individual organic molecules, somehow reconstituting themselves into their previous form.Bodies being changed instantly from their physical form to a spiritual form.Will the end of the world happen in the

"Rapture" was a combination of New Wave pop, funk, and rap music, with the rap section forming an extended coda.The Sugarhill Gang's 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight", a straightforward rap track also based on Chic's "Good Times", and obviously also an inspiration for "Rapture", reached the top 40 on the U.Michel Basquiat and Lee Quinones made cameo appearances in the music video, one of the first broadcast on MTV.The US 7" single used the regular Autoamerican album version, the 12" a version with an addional verse partly in French, making it just 40 seconds longer.For the UK and international single releases Mike Chapman remixed the track completely.The UK 7" version (4:59) was an edit of this Special Disco Mix, and a slightly different edit (5:33) appeared on the band's first 'greatest hits' compilation The Best of Blondie in 1981.EMI's lavish 14 disc Singles Box in 2004.The first official remix of "Rapture" can be found on the 1988 compilation Once More into the Bleach.Grandmaster Flash sampled "Rapture" on his classic single "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel".Z) used the song as the base for her hit, "I'll Be".One on his 1997 single "Step into a World (Rapture's Delight)".In 2000 it was sampled once more by Glamma Kid on his single "Bills 2 Pay".The song was also sampled by The Jungle Brothers in the song "In Days 2 Come" from the album "Done by the Forces of Nature".Vincent LaGuardia Gambini from the film My Cousin Vinny.In 2005 "Rapture" was fused with The Doors' "Riders on the Storm" into "Rapture Riders" by Go Home Productions.Vision and was a top ten hit on the U.English synthpop duo Erasure covered "Rapture" on their 1997 album Cowboy, with Vince Clarke providing the rap.Chilean musician Nicole also did a cover of this song in 2006, included on her album APT."Rapture" 1994 remixes, U."Rapture Riders"

The Others have mostly been shown to be good people.The Losties were the first to use guns on the island and there were large number of murderers among the passengers.The Others launched numerous armed attacks against the DHARMA staff, though, and eventually poisoned them all.And Ben certainly had no respect for the fifth commandment.Rather than kidnapping people, they are saving them from the Losties.They disappeared in an event that has similaries to the rapture.Kate, Jack, Sayid and Juliet were all "Left Behind" (another rapture reference) when the good people disappeared.They were both fallen people and died because of it.Eko was two chances to redeem himself.The first night on the island, the Others tried to take him and he killed two of them.Partially explains the Numbers.Fits in with speculation about Aaron possibly being the Antichrist.Not enough other Revelation events have occurred to show that this is the end of days.Doesn't explain much of what is going on in the Lost Experience

Flashforwards in "Through the Looking Glass" take place in the outside world after the crash.No evidence of the rapture having taken place are ever seen.Addendum
Jack Shephard: Derivative of a shepherd.Jesus Christ is often referred to in Christian scripture and theology as "the Good Shepherd."Kate Austen: Austen is derivation on Augustine who wrote: City of God.Walter: the name denotes "ruler of army".Son of Michael on the show.Aaron: Aaron is Claire's baby.Book of Ezekiel describes his vivid symbolic visions which predict the restoration of the kingdom of Israel.Lost: Likely a reference to "Paradise Lost", a poem about the fall of man.John Locke and Rousseau: Names of Social Contract Theorists.The crew of flight 815 were travelling from Australia to Los Angeles.Los Angeles means City of Angels.Thus the initial statement is a metaphor for the crew travelling from earth to the city of angel (heaven).Hence it is a place where the tribulation after the rapture occurs.The Others: It is my belief that "the Others" refer to two phenomena.The second being the phenomenon of "vanishing" during the tribulation and attributed to the Others.Therefore the disappearances of some surivors is due to a rapturic vanishing, and not the Others.Let's consider the psychological effect of your loved ones vanishing during the rapture.This conclusion would be considered more lucid, than an explanation that they were taken to heaven.Thus during the rapture, rampant paranoia would exists regarding heavenly actions. |
