ESCHATOLOGY-RAPTURE
Try as I
might, I cannot find one verse that clearly teaches the rapture as it is
understood by many American evangelicals. The radical separation between the
people of God in the old covenant and the people of God in the new covenant is
encouraged by this system of eschatology. And such teaching is foreign to the
New Testament, which teaches that the Old Testament is really for new covenant
believers.
