194 Revelation - The Rapture (Part 2)

We take a look at how the idea of the Rapture might or might not fit the timeline of the 70 Sevens. Then we move from the Scripture itself to a fascinating overview of the history of the Rapture as a doctrine within the church.

The earliest references are sporadic, but the idea really takes off in 1830. Yup. Not a typo. 1830--just prior to the Victorian Era. We look at how it happened, who the key players were, and how a particularly timely new study Bible propelled its popularity.

We touch on the Shepherd of Hermas which is not in the Bible.
