I don’t think the New Jerusalem is totally at odds with the theology of the rapture. Though I’m not 100% sure about the rapture I think it is perfectly sensible to be able to have both. After all the New Jerusalem is about renewal of a decimated world is it not?
I would have been interested to see what Tom Wright was about to say about the rapture before the interview was edited to him just saying no.
I’m not saying that the rapture is or isn’t going to happen, but that I am open to the possibility of it happening. I’m also a little disturbed by how it can be dismissed as something of a laughing matter by us here in UK, possibly because it seems to go so much beyond reason. After all, so many things that have been easily dismissed in history have proved to be justified.
One thing I do think is certain though is that a great many people outside of the Church are growing more aware about end times stuff (or ecclesiology as you theologians refer to it!). It seems that more documentaries are shown on mainstream TV about it than any other theological area. As a result the next generation of church leaders need to be aware of it. I for one am hungry for good teaching on all the views
