Interesting post over at iO9 about where the idea of the Rapture originated, how it spread and evolved and which churches do and do not believe in it. The idea has gained significant traction in pop culture due to the "Left Behind" series.

This Blog | "The Future" isn't just a point in time. It's also an idea that influences our culture. This blog explores how we think about "tomorrow" and how as a meme it has evolved over millennia. Topics include the future as an archetype, utopian and dystopian literature, the psychology of time, the futurism profession, science fiction as modern mythology, and anything else that helps us understand how we think about what's next.
