Saw the show. A little hard to follow if you didn't already know the Book Of Revelations and the End-Times Prophecy. The main thing I noticed is at the end they just showed storm clouds, a no time did they show Jesus' appearance. Also very little "Rapture"(Pre-trib., Mid-trib., or Post-trib.) shown. Several other inconsistencies with the Bible. Has "political correctness" and Political Ideology entered into this production also?
Overall I was disappointed with the production.

Explain how you know with absolute certainty that it's fiction? For all you know you're merely a virtual object in a computer simulation. Perhaps an alien ant farm?

I agree. They got little of it right. New Orleans is Babylon and that's where Armageddon takes place? Seriously? . Head of FEMA the anti-christ? Again, seriously? The bottomless pit and smoke from the pit is the dead being burned under a nuke powerplant? WTH? It was amateur at best.

All the raptures in the bible
We Christians know about the rapture. We understand that at the moment the fullness of the Gentiles has come in (the full number, Romans 11:25), the rapture will occur and Jesus will descend from heaven. We will vanish from the earth in a moment, a twinkling of an eye. The dead will be no means be left behind, they will also be raised and we'll all meet in the air. Jesus will lead us to heaven. Then, the final 7 years remaining to complete the Old Testament decree regarding the Jews will resume on earth. It will be a time of Godly wrath, unleashed full force. It's fascinating to think about going on our daily business, driving, washing, feeding the dog, and suddenly we will hear the trumpet of God, and the next moment we'll be airborne! The next moment we'll be in heaven, where no eye has seen nor any ear has heard the things prepared for us!! It is a singular, unique, momentous event!
There have been several raptures already.
Enoch.
Father of the longest lived man on earth, Methuselah. Enoch was the 7th from Adam. He was a prophet. (Jude 1:14). He lived 365 years, then God took him home. He was the only one in a long line of the genealogical record to not have died. "And then he died...And then he died...And then he was not, for God took him." Raptured. Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. (Genesis 5:24) By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5)
Elijah.
Prophet, servant of God. Slew all the false prophets of Baal by the sword. (1 Kings 18). Mentored Elisha. Raptured. And as they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 2:11)
Jesus.
And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11). Raptured.
Paul, Isaiah.
Paul wrote about "a man" who was caught up to the third heaven. Most scholarly consensus is that Paul is speaking of himself. Note that Paul says "caught up" in some translations it's "snatched up". In the Greek it's the word harpazo. This means snatched up. It is the same word that describes the bride's snatching up, or of being caught up. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. (2 Corinthians 12:2)
Isaiah- This one is more speculative, but in Isaiah 6:1 Isaiah wrote that he saw the throne room. Whether in the body or not...we can't be sure. He described the altar, the train of the Lord, the pillars,the seraphim crying HOLY HOLY HOLY. However after Isaiah exclaimed he was undone, he was a man of unclean lips living among a people of unclean lips, the seraphim took a coal from the altar and touched Isaiah's lips. If Isaiah was not in the body then this is metaphorical, however the word for mouth in Hebrew is mouth, the word used here. My personal opinion is that Isaiah was bodily caught up to heaven as Paul was.
Two Witnesses.
In Revelation 11 we are told that there will be Two Witnesses sent by God to preach to the entire world. This will be during the Tribulation. But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. (Revelation 11:11-12). Many people think, and I include myself, that the Two Witnesses are Enoch and Elijah. Since it is appointed for man to die once then the judgment, and they never did, that this means the Two Witnesses are those two men and their death will occur during the Tribulation. Anyway, The Two Witnesses will be raptured.
Philip.
I wrote about his remarkable instant journey from point A to point B in Gaza: here. I have always been fascinated by the practical moments. After Philip was finished baptizing the Ethiopian Eunuch, he was snatched up and set down 20miles away. He wasn't raptured to heaven but to two places on earth, but still, the notion of being bodily taken up by the scruff of the neck like a kitten and plunked down some there else with no warning is amazing. In the sense of a harpazo, a catching away, Philip's experience fills the bill. His snatching up is the same word used on the Bride's rapture: harpazo. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:39-40).
We've talked about various raptures in the past. They've all been one man or at most two. The most startling and eagerly anticipated event of all is no doubt
THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH
This will occur at an unknown time in the future, and it will happen to a large number of dead and alive believers. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised mperishable, and we shall be changed. in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.(1 Corinthians 15:52-53). For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,d that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18)
While being raptured is not a usual nor a frequent event, neither is it made-up as some like to claim. As we can see in the bible, it has happened before and will happen again. It isn't far-fetched. A catching up or a snatching away of persons or groups of people is an event that God uses in His plan to accomplish the things He wants to accomplish. Simple as that. How wonderful He is so sovereign He is able to put us where He wants and to take us up when He wants. How majestic are His ways. What a blessed hope our rapture is.
Come soon Lord Jesus!

Exactly...that's why there is no rationale basis for believing in any of the 10,000 plus supernatural beings created by humans.
And questions are not evidence of anything other than lack of knowledge by the person asking the question - as in "if there is no god, then who created the earth?" The only correct answer is that the person asking the question doesn't know the answer (putting aside the incorrect assumption that it was created by a "who" in the first place.)
Given the total lack of any evidence of the existence of any god, there are two possibilities:
1. there is no god.
2. there is a god but it purposefully didn't leave any evidence of its existence because it didn't want the people it created making up BS about it, and it has a special place in hell for all those who have.
If a person adhering to chose 1 is wrong, they still get to go to eternal happiness because they didn't make up BS about a god that didn't want people making up BS about it.
The number of people in hell is so much more than the number of people who think their bogus stories about the ONE TRUE God are going to get them into heaven.

Thus neither argument is supported by evidence. Thus either could be true. As hard as that can be to understand. If we're an alien ant farm I wonder what they say about us... "Look at these humans. They create something as intelligent as the internet and then use it to perpetuate the flaws in their personalities. Interesting species these humans." :yes4:
.
Let's see what happens when we cut electricity to their block (Twilight Zone episode).
I would suggest that the time span of one biblical generation (51 1/2 years according to the most recent research) has already passed. The focal point of Christ's remark is NOT that the Jews would regain their homeland but, instead, 'WHEN YOU SEE (ALL) THESE THINGS' WHICH PRECEDE CHRIST'S REMARK in Luke 21:28, THEN is the time for faithful believers to, 'lift up their heads'. Me? I strongly suspect that, at the present time, mankind is no more than entering into, 'the time of the end'. Furthermore, I, also, suspect that it's going to be the children of today's present, (breeding) 'wicked and adulterous generation' who will - if they survive - witness Earth's final cataclysmic events.
NOTE: In my personal opinion, anyone who's anxious to fathom end time mysteries would do well to carefully study the 21st chapter of Luke, and the Book of Daniel, as well as the insightful research carried out by Sir Isaac Newton on this, (Shall I say .... ) 'timely topic'. :wink:

Agreed.
Mankind is plagued with one major flaw, ego. It never provides a benefit and ranges from foolish to detrimental to man.
The foolish, man see's something typically in the sky he cannot understand, thus it becomes an UFO. Ego tells man he is so important that aliens will travel light years come here to observe him and sometimes to probe his anus.
The detrimental, man thinks that the entire universe was created just for him by some marvelous deity so he can sit in front of a big screen TV to watch overpaid jocks grandstand on the sideline while he belches and scratches his anus. And he is willing to kill solely to defend his special friend.
The reality is, if either existed, neither would view man any different than a child views his ant farm, except the deity is more like the kid frying ants with a magnifying glass on a sidewalk on a sunny day. The UFO's, if they exist may just be the equivalent of a first grade class bus trip to the zoo.

Jesus made it very clear that the RE-BIRTH (1948) of the nation of ISRAEL (Fig tree) would mark the beginning of the Last Generation. In Signs of the End of the Age...Matthew 24:34 - Mark 13:30 -Luke 21:32, in all three Gospels Jesus says..."I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until ALL these things have happened". What are ALL of the things that will happen? The Rapture, the 7 years of Tribulation and His Second Coming. God said that a man's years (generation) will be "Three Score & Ten (70 yrs) or Four Score (80 yrs) if by strength, NOT 51 1/2 years. Knowing that the count down began in 1948, time is much shorter than we think.
