The Rapture Doctrine: Caught Away in an Instant of Cowering Scaredy-cat explores fear, illusion, and belief—where prophecy collides with human frailty.

The Rapture Doctrine: Caught Away in an Instant of Cowering Scaredy-cat.

The Rapture doctrine is believed to have originated from a mentally ill woman. Her name was Margaret McDonnell. She was born in 1815 in Port Glasgow, Scotland, and died in 1840.

During this time, many preachers in Scotland believed in supernatural gifts. They thought these gifts, like the Holy Spirit, are used to tackle the world’s problems.

Isabella and Mary Campbell, while at the parish of Roseate, popularized these gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts include speaking in tongues. They were seen as evidence of a person’s legitimacy in possessing supernatural gifts.

Both preachers and lay people were fascinated by these charismatic experiences, although some individuals condemned them as being demonic.

Nevertheless, the Rapture doctrine and speaking in tongues spread from Scotland to the wider Christian world. They have since become firmly entrenched in religious doctrine and teaching.

In the year 1830, people believed that Margaret McDonnell was miraculously cured of her mental illness. Her brother James Campbell performed the healing.

Criticism of rapture believers overlooks a crucial fact. Each individual is the agent of their own life and belief systems. I used to trust the nonsense I was taught before I started thinking for myself.

We hear or read about the horrific events predicted in the Bible’s book of Revelation about the supposed end times. Our fight or flight instinct naturally takes over. It often overrides critical thinking and rationality.

The self-deluded warrior wants to stand and engage in a holy battle with Yeshua. Meanwhile, the less spirited ones want to run and hide in the heat of battle.

The evidence that the rapture is a myth is clear. The children of God were not taken to safety when the Assyrians destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel. They also were not taken when the Babylonians crushed the Southern Kingdom of Judah and destroyed its temple.

There was also no rapture during the hundreds of years that the dispersed people were viciously persecuted in Western Europe. This persecution culminated with the extreme measures of racial purification conducted by the Nazis during World War Two. The purging program under Stalin occurred during and after that conflict.

Christians often seem self-satisfied when they talk about being taken up to meet their imaginary deity in the air. This attitude is visible in their smug expressions. The condescending gleam in their eyes can be insulting and arrogant.

Everyone wants to believe that they are special in the eyes of a fictional God. Many proclaim themselves as the chosen people with privileged status.

Some who consider themselves chosen by God feel entitled to take others’ land. They claim it as their own. Others believe that their well-being is of greater concern to this imaginary God than other people’s.

Peace of mind is being able to walk down the streets in the United States without being shot and killed by the police. Only the farfetched believe that they will be blessed with a white garment from a fictitious God.

Many Christians believe that the meek will inherit the earth. The meek referred to in this Bible verse are not deserters. They do not cower behind a cloud while others fight and die for them. They are those who are humble in spirit and not lacking in courage.

Regardless of the above arguments, the main reason not to believe in a Rapture is simple. This character called Jesus only exists within the fables of the Bible.

There is an all-consciousness being. Yet, this Jesus is a figment of a lying Jewish/Catholic imagination. It was made up to control the minds of people and justify their criminal acts against them.

People earnestly waiting to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air will live and die. They will die and live perpetually. Their faith and hopes will never be realized.

For thoughtlessness’ sake, pretend that the second coming of the Lord is valid. Imagine the catching away of the saints is also valid. What does that have to do with so-called Christians?

The words in their Bible suggest that Jesus is only concerned with the Ashkenazi and doesn’t care about anyone else. Having hope and faith is great. But, misplaced feelings are like spending your hard-earned money on lottery tickets every day.

Near-death experiences, alien abductions, familiar spirits, and channeling are examples of phenomena that intrigue many people. Ghostly encounters and episodes encountered during sleep paralysis also belong to this category. These phenomena can all be grouped under the paranormal and the paranoid.

The fear of death creates believers of all persuasions. Christian believers want to escape death, not the great tribulation. Without collapse and demise as part of life, religions would not have a place in the human mind. They need this space to exist.

Being caught up in a puff of nasal spray is hopeful. It is the expectation of meeting the invisible lord in the air. This is a way to escape physical death. Wake up, sky-gazers, for your redemption does not even come.

The celestial joke is on all of us mortals. We comfort ourselves with some vague hereafter. We live in imaginary places called either heaven or hell. Human Deoxyribonucleic acid has physical death grafted into it.

The woman’s ovary produces four hundred thousand follicles. These follicles are inactive until fertilization occurs. At the instant a woman’s follicles become fertilized, they develop into an embryo.

So, the story goes, not one of the make-believe apostles of this fabricated Christ was raptured. Furthermore, not one of them died a natural death.

People are digging holes in the ground. They are storing food and water for the anticipated horrors to come. They do this because they believe in the fictional tales of their Bible.

The so-called elites are moving the nations of the world towards a third World War. They are creating their forms of rapture. They hope these will keep them safe. Meanwhile, the less privileged disintegrate into vapors.

The wages of faith do not gain anything. So, I will have faith that the police will not shoot me as he takes out his gun, aims, and pulls the trigger.

Joan of Arc was a woman of tremendous courage and faith. But that fellow Jesus did not see fit to catch her away. Fiery torches were placed at her feet.

There is no clay fragment, or any other type of writing material, written in any script, which corroborates biblical foolishness.

Nonetheless, everyone must use what they have to make it through the day and give them hope for the next.

Airflow away, you cloud gazers.
