REVELATION (WK 5): "Rapture In Reverse"

Fast forward to the end of the world as we know it. What does it look like? What happens to us? Where do believers go? What is to become of the earth? Rapture theology would have you believe that Christians are sucked up into the air and go to be with God somewhere else, while creation and those who are left endure several years of suffering before everything left is annihilated. Scholars point out that this kind of thinking is so prevalent in culture that most Christians assume it must be true. But is it? Is this even a biblical idea? Let's talk about it.
