With all of the end-of-the-world predictions that have come and gone over the years, I wanted to take some time to explore the Scriptures and early church fathers' teachings to see if the idea of the "rapture" was even Biblical! Let's talk about it and dive into its history as a very recent theology.

| 0:00.0 | Life Audio. Is the Raptor even biblical or is it a newer idea? What did the early church fathers believe? |
| 0:11.8 | And what does scripture say? That is what I want to talk about in today's episode. |
| 0:19.7 | Hello, hello, hello, ladies and gents and welcome welcome to this week's episode of the bot and beloved podcast. |
| 0:24.7 | As always, it's your girl, Kirby Kelly, back at it again. |
| 0:27.9 | And if you are watching this, then I am assuming you survived the quote-unquote rapture that was supposed to take place on September 23rd or 24th, |
| 0:40.0 | 2025. Maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about. And that's probably because I live |
| 0:46.4 | chronically online as part of my Gen Z DNA, but also as part of my job, right? Talking about |
| 0:53.3 | Jesus online. There was this man, this pastor, |
| 0:57.8 | who prophesied, I think from a different side of the world, and believed that the end of the |

| 1:45.9 | taken up? Am I going to be left behind? Like the book series, right? I remember even watching that |
| 1:51.8 | in college with my friends and being like, what is this movie? Like, I've never even heard of |
| 1:56.0 | this before. Did not grow up in a Christian household. So all of this was like kind of new for me. |
| 2:01.4 | I remember first learning about the rapture just like in conversation and I always believed it. |
| 2:07.9 | And I think it's because it has just been a very popular narrative when it comes to the end times. |
| 2:12.8 | The Christians will be raptured and everybody else is just going to suffer. |
