"Rapture or Mission" - The Rev. Dr. Kurt Gerhard, May 22, 2011

Listen to the Audio File

John 14.1-14

Glad to see you here, today. We should take roll to account for those select few who might have been taken in last night’s rapture. I’m assuming their absence is for other reasons, but I wouldn’t want to assume. If the chosen among us have been teleported to the heavenly banquet, I guess we are here to witness the decline of this plane of existence. Now being an optimist, that decline will, no doubt, be interesting. I can’t claim to have studied the Biblical foundation and logic for the rapture claim. Contrary opinions were found in most editorial pages including the Washington Post. Without studying the theories I am unsure if the 6pm prediction meant that the rapture would happen in hourly waves as the earth made its 24-hour rotation? Or if it would be correlated with Greenwich Mean Time?
