The rapture will happen on the Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah. The holiday first consists of someone "keeping watch" for the new moon, "for they did not know the day or hour" to start the holiday. When the Jewish people celebrate the holiday, they perform a reenactment of a Jewish wedding, which is exactly what "The Marriage Supper of The Lamb" is in the book of Revelations. After a Jewish couple "shuts their door" to their abode "and hide themselves for a little while" to consummate their marriage, the door stays shut for seven days. God said he would give us a year for a day, which is exactly how long the great tribulation is supposed to last, seven years.
What some refer to as "the rapture" is not mentioned in The Bible. The 'Rapture' was a theological invention of to John Nelson Darby, a nineteenth-century British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Because the Rapture has no genuine biblical support, there is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his predictions.
Those who still believe in the rapture hold different views, including a 'pre-tribulation' rapture, a 'post-tribulation' rapture and even a 'mid-tribulation' rapture. Similarly, they hold a wide range of opinions about when it will happen or what signs will precede the rapture. You can only be certain it will not happen in your lifetime or the lifetimes of your children or grandchildren.
Rapture is not a scientific term. It is a religious term that means the end of the world, when god's people will be taken to heaven and the rest of humanity will be left behind.
It is 'technically' impossible to predict when an earthquake is going to happen.
Forecast

Well, the Rapture has been PREDICTED several times in history, but there (is due to the idea of the Rapture being based on a false faith) not ever going to be a rapture, and you would be better off spending your time enjoying your life as opposed to wasting it following an ancient desert person's false accusations.
There is no way to predict the exact date of the rapture as it is a belief rooted in Christian theology. Different interpretations and views exist on when the rapture will occur, but many Christian denominations believe that it is not predetermined and will happen at an unknown time in the future.
Different Christian denominations have varying beliefs on when Jesus will take the church home in relation to the tribulation. Some believe in a pre-tribulation rapture where the church will be taken before the tribulation, while others believe in a post-tribulation rapture where it will happen after the tribulation. Ultimately, the exact timing is uncertain and is based on interpretation of biblical texts.
Don't bet on it even happening. The Rapture is supposed to happen at 6:00 pm Eastern Time. Good luck.
Chaos will roam the streets for 1000 years and then the end of time will happen after those years!
A:John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren, invented the Rapture theology back in 1830. John Nelson Darby sank into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, but the Rapture, his most enduring creation, still lives on in the minds of millions of Christians. In 2011, Harold Campling predicted the Rapture in May of that year, then in October of the same year. .It is one thing to predict the Rapture, it is an entirely different thing to demonstrate that it will ever happen. Although Darby's scheme continues to be believed by some, Harold Campling has admitted failure, so these predictions should no longer be taken seriously. There was no Rapture in 2011 because the very idea of the Rapture came from the imagination of a nineteenth century preacher.
it will still be the way it is because God created the earth and nothing on earth will change until he comes back for the rapture. He is the one and only God.the god of neptune and all of these other greek "gods" are fake. So to answer your question. no one knows what will happen. the rapture may come in those few years and everything will change. If the rapture does not happen.........It will stay the same.
The boy is in rapture when he is with his girlfriend.
A:In the traditional sense of 'rapture' -She went into raptures when she received good exam results.In the theological sense of 'Rapture' -The 'Rapture' is a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren, but is now accepted as fact by millions of Christians.
Yes Rapture is Today May 21 2011 but were are still here so No Rapture
A:If anyone ever knew when the Rapture is to happen, it would be John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren. After all, the 'Rapture' was his own theological invention in the nineteenth century. However, he avoided predicting a specific date for the Rapture, instead inventing "dispensations" - intervals of time ordering God's grand timetable for world events.Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision. In 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service. There, she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by Darby..The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth..It is one thing to predict the Rapture, it is an entirely different thing to demonstrate that it will ever happen. There is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture or that the church and its members will be taken bodily up into heaven. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his predictions.
