Rapture...
Rapture is not mentioned in ANY christian writings until after the year 1830. Not one syllable written in Greek or Latin, Armenian or Coptic, Syrian or Ethiopian, English or German, orthodox or heretic.
Rapture as we know it today was created by John Nelson Darby in 1830. Darby, known as the father of dispensationalism, a doctrine claiming there were not one, but two "second comings." His church was so impressed with his new fangled interpretation they called it unbiblical. Samuel P Tregelles, a biblical scholar at that time called dispensationalism, "height of speculative nonsense."
From what I have read, I agree with Sam. It is a very complicated circular argument intended to remind christians that they are indeed a doomsday cult.
