The Rapture that Didn’t Happen
Rapture is actually a word that has been recycled, so-to-speak, to refer to an event described in the Bible in which Christian believers are alive together with those believers who have died before and have resurrected, are caught up together to meet Christ in the air and be with him forever more in heaven. This is mainly an event described by Paul in his gospel. The rapture is also alluded to by Jesus in the four Gospels that was supposed to have happened “immediately after the tribulation” which happens at the time of Jesus’ second coming.
However:
- Jesus disappeared from the scene before the temple was destroyed,
- Jesus did not return in the clouds;
- Jesus, as the Messiah, did not rebuild the temple,
- and the rapture didn’t happen

Was Jesus the Messiah?
In the day Messiah comes there would be:
- Peace and prosperity over all the Earth (Isa 2:4; 11:6-8)
- All of Israel’s enemies defeated (Zac 14:3-4)
- All the tribes of Israel scattered around the world gathered back to their own land (Isa 43:5-6)
- God’s righteous reign in all the world. (Isa 2:3-4, Isa 11, Mic 4:1-3)
- The rebuilding of the temple — the third temple. (Ezekiel 37:26-28)
- Unity of all of Humanity in the universal knowledge of the God of Israel. (Mic 4:1-3, Zec 14:9, Isa 11:9)
Obviously, not one of these conditions was met when Jesus arrived.
