Episode notes
Context Reverses 'Taken' And 'Left'

Popular Rapture Clip Example
- David Jeremiah's popular clip describes the rapture as Christ returning to the heavens to receive believers.
- Joe Heschmeyer uses this clip to illustrate common rapture rhetoric and its popularity.
Noah Imagery Flips The Rapture Assumption
