This short bonus episode is about the rapture, a future, end-time event during which, some believe, all Christians will be suddenly taken out of the world. It includes an explanation of what the rapture is and what kind of theological system it is a part of. And I'll show why I do not think it is taught in the Bible, and why the rapture is actually harmful to Christian thought and witness.
