Biblical Rapture Explained

[lexferenda]

Christians have for many years maintained that the "rapture" is an actaul real physical event. For those of you who are unaware of what Christians mean by the rapture, let me explain:

Christians expect that at some time before Judgement Day, Jesus will return to Earth a second time in the flesh, and use some kind of miracle to call His people to Him by causing them to levitate up off the ground and meet him in the air.

While this view of the rapture is certainly true when viewed from a particular point of view, it was never meant to be anything other than symbolic. What actually happens when a person is raptured is this: their consciousness (or what the scriptures refer to as spirit) "expands". When the consciousness expands in this way, it is said to raise up another level towards a much higher consciousness. When a person is raptured, that person's consciousness rises up to meet with the consciousness of Jesus at the next higher level of conscious awareness.

This process is known as attaining the Christ Consciousness. It is a kind of spiritual puberty.

I basically agree with you but I think that it might be possible that the rapture is also expanding from a third dimensional consciousness level to a fourth dimensional consciousness level where we will be able to navigate through time as well (time being the 4th dimension). Think about it, people who see the future accurately used to be rare, now it's becoming more and more commonplace. Those who were called prophets, seers, wise ones, sages or whatever else you want to call them were only normal people who expanded their consciousness, and it's available to EVERYONE, not the chosen few.

Doesn't the Bible say that Satan will be defeated and that sin and death will be no more? How would that be possible if we didn't expand beyond our third dimensional existence? Satan exists in the lower 4th dimension/lower astral plane. He can only manipulate us because we generally don't yet have the ability to see through time... he can and uses that knowledge to harm us with his Illuminati. How much power will a demon/reptilian have over us when we evolve/expand beyond our current level?

The demons cannot progress because they are trapped by their own selfish and evil attitudes. The lower 4th dimension is hell.

Very good explanation. This resonates with my own experience, thanks for the post

The rapture is a hoax created in the 17th century. It's a belief among Protestant sects. If you're a Catholic you can't believe in the rapture and if you do you aren't a real Catholic.

The rapture became a key component of 19th century Dispensationalism which was mostly influence by John Nelson Darby's 19th century bible. This bible was used by Cyrus Scofield for his Scofield Reference Bible in the 20th century.

Both men were funded and supported by wealthy Jews because the ideology involved the Jews returning to Palestine in order to trigger the rapture. They would then either convert or be destroyed with all non believers.

Millennialist believes obviously existed primary to the rapture and the Catholic ascension is somewhat along the same lines, but the rapture is a recent creation. A specific one that now involves Jews and Palestine which is why so many fundies are Israel lovers.

They've been deceived by Zionists to help them steal Palestine. Discussing this rapture as a millennialist belief without this aspect isn't the rapture.

The rapture isn't scriptural I'm afraid, our seems like most Christians want a get out of jail free card and believing that we will be spirited away some time before the tribulation is a way to absolve them of blame for not standing up to the NWO. I hate this mindset. Christians know what is coming, they know the prophesies and the book of Revelation, so it's kind of arrogant to believe that it doesn't matter to them because they will be raptured!
The tribulation they speak of of is here already, we have the Whore of Babylon on the throne! We have the Mark of the Beast in the RFID chip and synthetic DNA. We have Jerusalem encompassed about with many armies, and the imminent arrival of the 12th Imam. Instead of sitting about on their arses waiting to get beamed up, Christians need to WAKE UP!!!
