The rapture was a lie cooked up by an alcoholic wife beater (and children beater) called Scofield. He later abandoned his family to peddle his "reference" bible that most churches use today with his second wife.
Zakly.
They were removed because they were stupid. Have you read them? Utter garbage.
14 You have showed your servant these wonders from the beginning, and have counted me worthy that you should receive my prayer: 15 Show me now yet the interpretation of this dream. 16 For as I conceive in my understanding, woe unto them that shall be left in those days and much more woe unto them that are not left behind! 17 For they that were not left were in heaviness. 18 Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind. 19 Therefore are they come into great perils and many necessities, like as these dreams declare. 20 Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. 21 And he answered unto me, and said, The interpretation of the vision shall I show you, and I will open unto you the thing that you have required. 22 Whereas you have spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation: 23 He that shall endure the peril in that time has kept himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward El Shaddai. 24 Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead. 25 This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas you saw a man coming up from the midst of the sea: EZRA REVIY`IY (4 EZRA) 13 את CEPHER [2 Esdras]
