Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that the Rapture has its origins in the nineteenth century beginning, according to one critic, 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 John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren.
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. The first return would be in secret, to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven. Pictures of the Rapture portray the sky full of people on their way to heaven. This is the one change that proponents of Darby's scheme seem to agree on. Christ would return a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth.In 1830, it was easy to teach that people would travel physically up to heaven, because few people really knew what is really above the clouds and most people still thought of heaven as "up there" physically. Now we know it is a nonsense to think of people being snatched up through the sky, as Darby had envisaged. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his theology. There will be no Rapture and the sky will not be filled with people taken bodily up into heaven.

Is Matthew 24.40 the rapture?
Yes, it is referring to the rapture.Another Answer:The term 'rapture' is not in the Scripture and is a tradition of men. The verse in Matthew is in reference to the 2nd Coming of Jesus to rule on Earth at the blast of the 7th Trumpet. It will be a loud and visible event where the firstfruits will rise from their graves or on the earth to meet their King in the sky. It will not be a secret or silent 'rapture' as some teach since the 19th century.
Will the rapture happen on October 21?
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.
Is Jesus going to take the church home before the tribulation or after it?
This depends on which version of the Rapture you decide to believe in. The Rapture was a theological invention of to John Nelson Darby, a nineteenth-century British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from the Plymouth Brethren and 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.

The concept of the rapture, as understood in Christian theology, generally teaches that true believers will be taken up to meet Jesus in the air. The fate of individuals like harlots is not explicitly detailed in this context, as it is believed that salvation is available to all who accept Jesus Christ as their savior, regardless of their past actions or occupations. Ultimately, it is believed that only God can judge the hearts of individuals at the time of the rapture.
