First Part of the series
Many American Christians have never questioned the rapture — they just assumed it was always in the Bible. It wasn't. In this video, I walk through why the modern rapture doctrine is a 19th-century invention rather than the historic Christian hope, and why it quietly trains believers to root for the world's destruction instead of its restoration.
I break down the "already/not-yet" view of the Kingdom of God — and walk through what texts like 1 Thessalonians 4 are really describing when read in their original context, not as an escape hatch from suffering. This isn't rapture theology vs. no theology — it's rapture theology vs. a bigger, older, more hopeful eschatology: New Creation.
If you've ever felt like end times prophecy made you dread the world instead of love it, this one's for you.
