    posted this about the rapture in another thread recently:

    the whole concept is an 18th century creation that took root in the 19th century and went bananas with the Left Behind series in the 20th century. most of the scripture used to support the notion was always interpreted to be about Jesus' resurrection...it was only in the 19th century when Darby and others started down the long road of creating "rapture" theology. you won't find anything about this from Luther, Calvin, Augustine, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, etc. such a central component of what has become "fundamentalist Christianity" -- in fact for many it is THE story...and yet the early church fathers never spoke of it.
