We often hear the word “imminence” in reference to the rapture. But is the rapture really imminent?
The following is my opinion and may possibly come across as polemical at times. I don’t intend it to be. I’m sure some pretribulationists and non-pretribulationists will disagree with some of my observations.
“We look back and remember Jesus’ death and resurrection each time we celebrate the Lord’s Supper. But have we forgotten that we observe this ordinance ‘till He comes’?” - P&D
A lot of people talk about getting a “stint” in an artery, but they really mean a “stent.” I created a saying to keep things clear: “I went for a stint in the hospital to get a stent. It was quite a stunt.”
Like everyone else, I get my words confused. This can easily happen when discussing theology. An internet friend pointed out that, in some of my comments on a discussion forum, I had used the word “immanent” instead of the correct word in that context, “imminent.”
I thanked him, and, upon pondering his comments, remembered yet another similar word, “eminent.”
“Time to write an article,” I thought to myself.
