Nope. John Nelson Darby created it in the 1800s, after he had a fall and a knocked his nogging real hard.
Look him up. It’s a hoot.
@GayDeceiver writing from Germany I had to look up Christian Rapture in the dictionary and my impression: it seems to be something very American.

And I want to tell everyone who thinks that the second coming is just around the corner, that the rapture already happened and they are stuck with the rest of us to fight the final battle between good and evil

It’s like 90% of what is presented as ‘traditional’ ‘biblical’ christianity: invented and solidified in the last century or so.

@GayDeceiver Yup. Would have probably been considered heresy in the middle ages.

@Josteglitz @GayDeceiver Darby (the guy who invented the concept) was Irish I think. But his ideas only really took off when they were added as study notes to the Scofield Reference Bible, which sold like hotcakes in the United States. So you're correct, quite American.

@GayDeceiver Didn't know about the fall before now. So, he's like Doc Brown but with really bad theology.

@FrChazzz @Josteglitz @GayDeceiver yeah the same. No rapture in Luther's bible.

@whybird @deirdrebeth @GayDeceiver apparently expansion on Thessalonians 4:17
"After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." -

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @GayDeceiver And the MAGAts have sided with the antichrist. You know, assuming Revelations is true, and not just the ravings of a Bronze Age lunatic.

@GayDeceiver one wonders if that's what got Revelations written, too
It was Nero's persecution of early Christians that got Revelations written.

@kinsale42 @GayDeceiver Tha Latin 'rapio' is Vulgata's 4th century tranlation of the Greek 'harpazo', meaning 'to snatch, to carry away'. – This is the word used in the Thessalonians quoted above.
Personally, I would much prefer to be spirited away by the Japanese gods in the Miyazaki's anime.

Ellen G. White, of the Seventh Day Adventists, got hit in the face with a stone.
Mary Baker Eddy, of Church of Christ, Scientist, slipped on ice and hit her head.
I wonder if there are other hits to the head leading to the creation of new religions?

The worst thing the powerful, old, white men ever did with religion was convince others they couldn't find divinity within themselves - because humans are 'too broken' - and that the divine can only be found externally.
At least, that's what the mushrooms told me.

To be fair, a lot of the early followers apparently thought their boy Josh was coming back soon. -

@GayDeceiver Renegade Cut did a masterful video on this, the Left Behind series, and how all of that infected US politics.

People are suckers for stories in which someone overcomes something, and if that person is clever enough to invoke The Devine Whatever, they start flocking to that person.
