You've Been Taught the RAPTURE Wrong Your Whole Life

About this sermon

Did you know the word "Rapture" doesn't appear a single time in the book of Revelation? In this study, Pastor Robby challenges the End Times timeline most of us were taught, tracing the origins of the pre-tribulation rapture back to the 1830s. We'll examine why every date-setting prediction in history has failed and look closely at the biblical meaning of the "trumpet," the "clouds," and the Greek word parousia. Join us as we discover what the first-century church actually heard, shifting our focus from escaping the world to flourishing in it as God brings heaven down to earth. 📚 Ministries: Church: Long Hollow Church – https://longhollow.com/ Ministry: Replicate — https://replicate.org/ Podcast: The Forgotten Jesus — www.youtube.com/@TheForgottenJesusPodcast 👉 Connect with Robby Instagram— https://www.instagram.com/rgallaty/ RESOURCES BY ROBBY TO HELP YOU GROW DEEPER: 🔥 Discover the Jewish Roots of Jesus: The Forgotten Jesus: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087PFKTMX 👥 Leadership: The Movement Ready Church: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7F52V8Y 🌱 The Discipleship Trilogy: Growing Up (Revised & Updated): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768225 Firmly Planted: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768241 Bearing Fruit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768268 🕊️ Robby’s Life Story: Recovered (A Story of Redemption): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1535909838 📖 Daily Bible Reading & Prayer: Foundations (260-Day Reading Plan): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1430045558 The Practice of Prayer (30-Day Guide): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8P2M3FN Chapters: 00:00:00 - The Word "Rapture" 00:00:51 - The View Most of Us Were Taught (Pre-Tribulation Storyline) 00:04:33 - The Million-Dollar Hermeneutics Question 00:05:08 - The "Mount Rushmore" of the Modern Rapture View 00:06:48 - John Nelson Darby & the Plymouth Brethren (1830s) 00:07:17 - C.I.
