The term "Rapture" began to be used in English religious texts in the 17th and 18th centuries as scholars influenced various interpretations and beliefs about the end times.

The Rapture concept gained prominence in the 19th century, particularly through the teachings of John Nelson Darby, who was instrumental in developing this theological framework in defining biblical prophecies literally and that the Rapture will occur before a period of tribulation on Earth, allowing believers to escape impending hardships.

Why do the majority of Christians label themselves as born again instead of just being awakened to righteousness? There is a great difference between the two answers!

Formed From the Ages: A Theological Case for a Young Earth Crafted from Ancient Creation Materials:

The longstanding debate regarding the age of the Earth has generated tension between scriptural interpretation and scientific observation. This essay proposes a theological framework in which both can coexist without compromise. Scripture affirms instantaneous divine creation by command, yet describes Earth’s primordial state as “without form and void,” suggesting the presence of unstructured material prior to the six days of ordering. This essay argues that God may have fashioned the Earth in six literal days using ancient pre-existing cosmic matter — creating a young world from materials of great antiquity. This view preserves the integrity of the Genesis account, affirms God’s creative sovereignty, and offers a coherent explanation for Earth’s apparent geological age.

This podcast, in these end times, encourages the remnant to think beyond the norm—steadfast in Scripture, clear in reason, and unafraid to examine God’s mysteries. For those who are hungry for answers and for those who would listen,
