Rapture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4104 words)
One common criticism of the rapture is based on the principle that the necessity of believing in Christ would be proven, by the events of the rapture, to anyone left behind.
The "Left Behind" series is liberal since its conception because Matthew 24:36 is largely ignored; fallen angels don't fornicate with human women and Nephilim don't walk the Earth in the series even though this is what Jesus is thought to have indirectly implied would come to pass in the Last Days.
Rapture Letters is a service that aims to send out letters to non-Christians whose loved ones have been taken up in the rapture.
