The End

"Overall, Americans are pretty sure that reality’s clock is winding down rapidly. A 1994 U.S. News & World Report poll showed that 6 in 10 Americans—people of all faith backgrounds—believe the world will come to an end eventually."

Jesus is coming back for sure, and as evidence, what more do you need than majority opinion? Sixty percent agree that the world will come to an end eventually, and it is only reasonable to believe that 59 percent believe that it will end with Jesus descending and zapping all the people who don't believe in Rush and Bleechh, and then calling up Billy O'Really? and the rest of the faithful in corporeal form to sitteth and reigneth on the right hand. Presumably, only 1 percent of the rest believe that the world will eventually come to an end on or before 5 billion years from now when the sun expands to kill us.

Rapture theology was invented by a man named John Nelson Darby of the Plymouth Brethren in Massachusetts in 1827 and was popularized by the Scofield Bible in 1909, according to the Rev. Candace Chellew-Hodge.
