What did Q teach us about [Symbolism]?
Does anyone think they do it for no reason?
The 'Dark Ages' are called that because, according to historians, there are virtually no (RELIABLE) historical records [dark].
How quaint that Satan would have humanity calling it "the dark ages."
In reality, Jesus returned before 'the generation he was talking to passed away.' Exactly as HE SAID COUNTLESS TIMES.
"If Jesus returned in 68AD, how sure are you that you would know?"

You just have to throw out all the garbage preachers and the "deep church" have told humanity for hundreds of years. Example: "the rapture" was not even spoken of before the 1800s and appears NOWHERE in the Bible.
If Christ did not already return while people of the time were still alive, then that means the book of Revelation is fundamentally dishonest.
"Shortly come to pass."
Imagine if the stuff Q said was going to happen was really meant to occur 2k years from now in the year 4024... like come on fellas open your mind. The great awakening is about unlearning what you have learned.
If our friends cannot reconcile that ⬆️ then read the book again and re-compute.

While the specific term "rapture" as understood in modern pre-tribulation contexts might not have been explicitly used by early church fathers, many early Christian writings reflect an expectation of a sudden, transformative event involving the return of Christ. For instance:
Irenaeus(130-202 AD): In his work "Against Heresies," Irenaeus speaks of believers being taken up, which aligns with rapture-like themes. He also emphasizes the idea of the resurrection of the just before the final tribulation.
Hippolytus(170-235 AD): In his writings, he refers to the church being taken away from the world during the time of the Antichrist.
Cyprian(200-258 AD): He speaks of God’s people being taken away to avoid the trials and tribulations of the end times.
Apocalyptic Literature: The expectation of Christ’s return and the accompanying transformation of believers is evident in apocalyptic literature. The "Shepherd of Hermas" (early 2nd century) depicts a vision of the faithful being protected and delivered from tribulation, resonating with the idea of a rapture.
Scriptural Basis: Several New Testament passages form the scriptural basis for the rapture doctrine:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: Paul speaks of believers being "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52: Paul describes a transformation of believers at the last trumpet, which many interpret as a reference to the rapture.
Post-Apostolic Era to Pre-Millennialism: During the post-apostolic era, the church grappled with interpreting eschatological prophecies. The rise of amillennialism and postmillennialism in later centuries led to a variety of views on the end times, often overshadowing pre-millennial and rapture-related themes.
John Nelson Darby: In the 19th century, Darby systematized the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine, integrating it with dispensationalism. This brought a renewed focus on the imminence of Christ’s return and the distinct role of the church.
Schofield Reference Bible: The publication of the Schofield Reference Bible (1909) with its comprehensive notes further popularized pre-tribulation rapture theology, making it accessible to a broader audience.
Let's not forget Enoch and Elijah were both raptured.
Who's 'LIBERTY'?
Ours or Satan's?
