A big part of the end of the world in the Christian faith is something called the rapture. The rapture is when Jesus returns to take all those who believe in Him up to heaven and away from the earth. Those left on the earth are the people that rejected God and/or are part of different religions. When the rapture occurs, the Holy Spirit, God’s believed spirit that resides on the earth, will leave the earth and there will be nothing holding back evil. The time at which the rapture will occur is a subject of conflict among the Christian churches. The first and most popular theory is the “Pre-Tribulation” theory; the people in this group believe the rapture to occur right before the Tribulation. In this theory the rapture itself is sort of the “starting pistol” for the Tribulation. Next is the “Mid-Tribulation” theory, these people believe that Christians will have to suffer three-and-a-half years or halfway through the Tribulation. They believe that Christians are exempt from the wrath of God but are not exempt from the sufferings of the Tribulation. Similar is the “Post-Tribulation” theory; in this belief Christians are not raptured until the end of the Tribulation for much the same reasons as the “Mid-Trib” theory. Some also believe that even though Christians’ sins have been atoned for they still have to be punished with suffering in the Tribulation. The last and least commonly heard of theory is the “Pre-Wrath” theory. This group

b. These writings acted as both an escape from reality and as lessons for readers.

The author also addresses four themes to help the reader gain an understanding of the Christian world view which include creation, fall, redemption and consummation. Creation addresses the understanding of who humans are and how it relates to the world that we live in. The fall deals rebellion against God in the garden. Redemption speaks about the forgiveness of our sins that came through the savior of Jesus Christ. Finally Consummation pulls all three previous topics together and is the start of the integration at its core.

Although this theory seemingly has its benefits, it also has its downfalls. There are three

My worldview thus is a set of fundamental of my beliefs through which I view the world and my calling and future in it. The premonition may be so manifested that it goes largely unquestioned; it may be greatly refined through cultural-historical development; it may not be straightforward and developed into a systematic creation of life, or it may not even be deepened into a philosophy. Nonetheless, this perspective is a passage for the subsequent belief which gives orientation and meaning to life. It is the unifying and revelatory framework by which order evaluated, the standard by which reality is managed and followed. It is the set of hinges on which all our everyday thinking and doing turns. Although a worldview is held only by

Revelation chapter thirteen is the most well-known of all bible passages on The Antichrist. It contains imagery familiar to pop culture, including the Mark of the Beast and his number — 666. A Premillennial (Futurist) commentary on the Book of Revelation is necessary for those who wish to fully understand such imagery and symbolism. Avoid commentaries from a Historist perspective which interpret Revelation as “already fulfilled” (called Preterism). Preterists’ misunderstanding of typology confuses past “types” of The Antichrist for the “real thing”, namely, the ultimate fulfillment yet to come. Regarding God’s end-time program, such error breeds confusion.

The importance of recognising the sequence of Conditioned Arising as “a rich and multifaceted analysis of existence” (Harvey, 1995, p. 134) is demonstrated when Sariputta, a chief disciple of the Buddha notes, “who sees Conditioned Genesis sees Dhamma; who sees Dhamma sees Conditioned Genesis” (M.I.191 in Conze, 1954, p. 65). As well as forming the core of Buddhist teachings, this suggests that like the reality of dukkha, by not understanding Conditioned Arising as an actuality, mankind fails to “extricate itself from punishment, suffering, perdition, rebirth” (Warren, 1987, p. 203). The essence of this teaching is illustrated in the Samyutta-nikaya II when it is stated, “If this is that comes to be; from the arising of this that arises; if this is not that does not come to be; from the stopping of this that is stopped” (Conze, 1954, p. 66). In other words, all beings and objects are in a constant state of flux. The existence of these beings and objects are conditioned. Once these conditions stop, beings and objects cease to

“Man cannot do without the make-believe of a beginning.” Beginnings, it turns out, can be quite unusual, complex, and deceptive. (Richardson, 2009).

For much of History since Jesus Christ’s ascension, the predominant view of the rapture was that it would occur after the Tribulation. There has been extensive debate over whether the Church will have to endure the hardships of The Tribulation, or be “caught up” in the air with Christ before those events begin. Doctrines such as posttribulationism went virtually untouched until 1948, when Israel reestablished itself as a state. Once that significant event occurred, many people reconsidered the idea of a pretribulational rapture of the church. A pretribulational rapture is the correct viewpoint because the Bible the Bible is the Word of God and should be taken literally, an alternative is not mentioned, and it does not

One of Grusin’s first examples of premediation, was the Iraq war. In his example he talks about how the constant premediation of having a war with Iraq was shown in the various news medias which had started even before we declared war on Iraq. The reason that Grusin gives is that they made it seem war was inevitable and that when we did go to war with Iraq, the public would would feel as if we had already been in the war with Iraq and there would be little opposition to the war. It was said that the protests to this war was the largest socially networked opposition to the war but because of the premediation and the ineffectiveness of the protests many people knew that the war was going to happen anyways. Another example of premediation was the occupy wall street movement and how a contemporary social movement was formed
