Rapture is one of the beliefs Christian missionaries and colonial masters brought to Africa in the 18th century when there was no education. Primitive people wallowed in fear waiting all their life time for rapture to come and rescue them from their slave masters which seems to be their only hope of freedom.
Looking at the scriptures, there is similarity to this situation with the Jews waiting for Jesus Christ(their coming Messiah) to come and rescue them from the grip of slavery meted on them by the Roman empire in bible days, they thought the Messiah will come and end the world. So, the disciples asked Jesus

Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Very primitive question, WHAT SHALL BE THE END OF THE WORLD?

VITAL TRUTH CHRISTIANS OF TODAY NEED TO KNOW SO THAT THEY WILL BE FREE
1. The least person in God's kingdom is greater than primitive people. Luke 7:8

Sometimes when I look at Africa i weep,
What the level of ignorance grin

Those of you that have android phones atleast, there are some bible applications that allows you to search, for instance, this common KJV screen shot below.

Please find out :
a. Why Jesus Christ consistently used the term God's kingdom in his parables?
b. what Jesus Christ actually meant by God's kingdom in his parables?

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make free.
Religion is a very stupid thing!!

2. You were created to remain on this earth
It's so ridiculous in a world where educated westerners are investing so much in education, science and technology improving lives, some primitive African folks are still canvassing for rapture.

Look, Africans need to wake up from their nightmare.
Christians need to put away every stupid doctrines or beliefs that is causing their set back and take the bull by the horn.
They should start taking responsibility.

For Gods sake Christians have everything to succeed.
They have the bible!
They have their brains!

How can we survive as a people when most of our brothers believe That the world will soon come to an end and some white guys will emerge from the sky to save them.
Beside, we were not primitive until the coming of the neantherdals.

For Africans to solve their problems, my suggestion is, they should go back to their African traditional religions.
The bible is too technical for any Nigerian pastor to understand.
To them it takes the spirit of God or grace of God to understand bible .

Our problems as individuals and as a community started the day we made other people beliefs our reality
. We now see ourselves through the eyes of people who don't know anything about us, we started demonizing our heritage and cut ourselves from our root. Anything you cut from its root will, with time only wilder and die.. That is what is happening to us..
What we must do is to attach ourselves back to our roots, by embracing our cultural heritage, we will blossom..

But, we won't because some dumb people amongst us are benefiting from the scam.. A scam that was intended to deceive a few people, now the whole population has embraced the delusion...

We will rise again.. I know we will.. When the time comes, the white Lord will return everything they stole from us, beginning with our spirituality...
