Understanding Premillennialism: Debunking Rapture Myths and Christ's Return

This article explores the complex theories surrounding premillennialism and the rapture, scrutinizing the notion of a future earthly kingdom and the misinterpretations of key scriptural passages. It delves into the seven eras of Dispensationalism, the nature of Christ’s return, and the significance of proper understanding of resurrection—highlighting that the rapture, often mentioned in modern theology, is not found in Scripture. The text aims to clarify misconceptions about the last days, the faithful's rewards, and the ultimate fate of the unrighteous.
