152. Rethinking the Rapture

Welcome to The PRODCAST! In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most misunderstood doctrines in modern Christianity—the rapture. For the past several months, we've been walking through Matthew 24, showing how this chapter is the key to understanding biblical prophecy. Now, it's time to dismantle one of the biggest myths of them all.TOPICS COVERED:• Breaking down Matthew 24:36-41 and the "Left Behind" misconception• Why the rapture is not a biblical doctrine• The dangerous origins of dispensationalism• John Nelson Darby and C.I. Scofield: The men behind the myth• How dispensationalism neutered the church and fueled escapism• The postmillennial hope: Christ reigns now, and His kingdom is advancingSPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:🚀 NEW MERCH STORE is live!
