Episode 9: The Dangers of Rapture Theology

The word “rapture” isn’t in the Bible, yet this theory—born from 19th-century interpretations and spread by the Scofield Reference Bible, possibly with Rockefeller backing—has gripped many Western churches. We’ll explore its origins, the verses used to justify it, and why Orthodox Christianity rejects it, warning that overemphasizing the rapture risks leading Christians to fall away if tribulation begins without it. Using full Bible verses and analogies like a modern myth or a house built on sand, we’ll unpack this teaching and inspire you to place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. This episode runs longer to cover the depth of history and theology, so settle in—the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Let’s dive in!
