It was spotted on the amazing web. /<br /><br /> Catholics Did NOT Invent the Rapture ! <br /><br /> Many assert<br /> that the "rapture" promoted by evangelicals was first taught, at least <br />seminally, by a Jesuit Catholic priest named Francisco Ribera in his <br />16th century commentary on the book of Revelation.<br /> To see what is claimed, Google "Francisco Ribera taught a rapture 45 days before the end of Antichrist's future reign."<br /> <br /> After seeing this claim repeated endlessly on the internet without even<br /> one sentence from Ribera offered as proof, one widely known church <br />historian decided to go over every page in Ribera's 640-page work <br />published in Latin in 1593.<br /> After laboriously searching for the <br />Latin equivalent of "45 days" ("quadraginta quinque dies"), "rapture" <br />("raptu," "raptio," "rapiemur," etc.) and other related expressions, the<br /> same scholar revealed that he found absolutely nothing in Ribera's <br />commentary to support the oft-repeated claim that Ribera taught a prior <br />(45-day) rapture! (Since the same scholar plans to publish his complete <br />findings, I am not at liberty to disclose his name.)<br /> Are you <br />curious about the real beginnings of this evangelical belief (a.k.a. the<br /> "pre-tribulation rapture") merchandised by Darby, Scofield, Lindsey, <br />Falwell, LaHaye, Ice, Van Impe, Hagee and many others? <br /> Google <br />"The Unoriginal John Darby," "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," "X-Raying <br />Margaret," "Edward Irving is Unnerving," "Walvoord Melts Ice," "Thomas <br />Ice (Bloopers)," "Wily Jeffrey," "Deceiving and Being Deceived" by D.M.,<br /> "The Real Manuel Lacunza," "Roots of Warlike Christian Zionism," <br />"Pretrib Rapture Politics," "Pretrib Hypocrisy," "Famous Rapture <br />Watchers," and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" - most of these by the <br />author of the 300-page nonfiction book "The Rapture Plot," the highly <br />endorsed and most accurate documentation on the long hidden historical <br />facts of the 182-year-old pre-tribulation rapture theory imported from <br />Britain during the late 19th century.Johnny Wardhttp://www.facebook.com/people/Johnny-Ward/100002466030200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342305364866425774.post-90932439712767943472012-06-22T12:03:55.321-07:002012-06-22T12:03:55.321-07:00And did they vome back?
