Dispensational Premillennialism<\/em>:<\/p>\n

In parts.<\/p>\n

Dispensationalism<\/b>\u00a0was a system formalized by\u00a0John Nelson Darby<\/a>\u00a0which maintains that history is divided into multiple dispensations in which God acts in multiple different ways. Dispensationalists believe in\u00a0premillennialism<\/a> and in a rapture that will happen before the second coming. [Wikipedia<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Premillennialism:<\/em><\/p>\n

Premillennialism<\/b>, in\u00a0Christian eschatology<\/a>, is the belief that\u00a0Jesus<\/a>\u00a0will physically return to the Earth (the\u00a0Second Coming<\/a>) before the\u00a0Millennium<\/a>, a literal thousand-year\u00a0golden age<\/a>\u00a0of peace. Premillennialism is based upon a\u00a0literal<\/a>\u00a0interpretation of\u00a0Revelation 20:1\u20136<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in the\u00a0New Testament<\/a>, which describes Jesus’s reign in a period of a thousand years.

Rapture<\/em>:<\/p>\n

The\u00a0rapture<\/b>\u00a0is an\u00a0eschatological<\/a>\u00a0theological position held by a few\u00a0Christians<\/a>, particularly those of\u00a0American evangelicalism<\/a>, consisting of an\u00a0end-time<\/a>\u00a0event when all Christian believers who are alive, along with resurrected believers, will rise “in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.”\u00a0The origin of the term extends from\u00a0Paul the Apostle<\/a>‘s\u00a0First Epistle to the Thessalonians<\/a>\u00a0in the\u00a0Bible<\/a>, in which he uses the Greek word\u00a0harpazo<\/i><\/span>\u00a0(Ancient Greek<\/a>:\u00a0\u1f01\u03c1\u03c0\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9<\/span>), meaning “to snatch away” or “to seize,” and explains that believers in Jesus Christ would be snatched away from earth into the air.

Noted in “For some Christians, \u2018rapture anxiety\u2019 can take a lifetime to heal<\/em><\/a>,” A. J. Willingham, CNN<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

\n

The concept of the rapture, known theologically as\u00a0<\/strong>dispensational<\/a>\u00a0premillennialism<\/a>, is not prevalent in Catholic or mainline Protestant denominations like Episcopalianism or Presbyterianism, and is most commonly adhered to in evangelical and fundamental churches. This line of theology draws heavily upon a letter from the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians, included in the Bible, that says believers in Jesus would be snatched or seized into the air.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Quite literally. Fun fact from the article: The word rapture<\/em> does not appear in the Bible. Which is a bit of a problematic statement in that the Bible is not originally an English document.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
