The rapture is a popular Christian belief that Christians will be taken up to heaven before the tribulation, a period of great suffering on earth. While the rapture is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, it is based on a number of passages that are interpreted in different ways by different people.
The book "Myths of the Origin of the Rapture" by Thomas Ice debunks a number of myths about the origin of the rapture. One myth is that the rapture was invented by John Nelson Darby, a 19th-century Irish preacher. Ice argues that Darby did not invent the rapture, but that he popularized it. Another myth is that the rapture is a biblical doctrine. Ice argues that the rapture is not a biblical doctrine, but that it is a tradition that has developed over time.
Ice also discusses the different views on the rapture. Some people believe that the rapture will happen before the tribulation, while others believe that it will happen after the tribulation. Some people believe that the rapture will include all Christians, while others believe that it will only include believers who are alive at the time.
Ice concludes by arguing that the rapture is a mystery that cannot be fully understood. He encourages Christians to focus on living their lives for Christ and to not worry about when the rapture will happen.
Here are some of the key points that Ice makes in his book:
The rapture is not a biblical doctrine, but it is a tradition that has developed over time.
There are different views on the rapture, and there is no one right answer.
Christians should focus on living their lives for Christ and not worry about when the rapture will happen.
