Is the word rapture mentioned in the Bible?
A:No. The word 'rapture' is not in the Bible, nor is the modern concept of a "Rapture" of Christians mentioned or discussed. Rapture is a theological creation of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Interestingly, although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture.
Is 2012 the year the rapture happened?
A:Clearly not. The Rapture is a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Darby did not predict a specific date for his 'Rapture', instead inventing 'dispensations' - intervals of time ordering God's grand timetable for world events, but allowing that the Rapture could occur at any future time. There will be no Rapture and therefore no timescale for the Rapture. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his theology.
