Visions of the future are portrayed in popular books and films, including catastrophic events like asteroid strikes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and plagues. Images of the future are more often than not eerie, post-apocalyptic scenes complete with darkened skies over ruined cities presided over by chaos. Those images are in harmony with the prophecies of the book of Revelation for the last days. But there is hope in another prophecy; the promise of the Rapture of the Church. What is the Rapture?
