Examining Christian Philosophy with Reason, Logic, and Systematic Analysis

The Rapture – part 2: The Timing is Right

After the 6 th Dispensation , Jesus will return to claim his Bride (the Church) as He promised.

At His return, all members of the Church, dead and alive, will be instantly transported to Heaven. This event is called the Rapture.

Despite its rather fantastical premise, we saw in the last post that the Rapture is sound Biblical doctrine.

But the biggest controversy BY FAR among Christians is not the existence of the Rapture, but rather its timing – specifically as it relates to the 7 year apocalyptic period known as the Tribulation* (which we will begin to examine in the next post)

*[NOTE – Yes, I’m fully aware that there is technically no such thing as a “7 year Tribulation” in the Bible, and that the “Great Tribulation” Jesus speaks of in Matthew 24 is actually 3 ½ years. However when I use the term “Tribulation” in this blog, I am referring to the entire 7year period known as the “70 th Week of Daniel” , the l ast half of which is the aforementioned Great Tribulation. Why? Because I don’t feel like typing out “the 70 th Week of Daniel” over and over.]

Christians who embrace the Rapture generally fall into one of three categories:

• Pre-Tribulation (Pre-Trib) – Those who believe that the Church will be raptured BEFORE the Tribulation begins.
• Mid-Tribulation (Mid-Trib) – Those who believe the Rapture happens at the 3 ½ year mid-point of the Tribulation (i.e., right before the Great Tribulation).
• Post-Tribulation (Post-Trib) – Those who believe that Christians will have to endure the Tribulation, and those who survive will be raptured at the end of the7 years.

While the differing positions on the timing of the Rapture may seem a bit trivial to Christians who don’t spend much time studying eschatology, they are taken VERY seriously by adherents.

If you ever want to see disturbingly blatant examples of Christian in-fighting, just Google any web site that takes a pre, mid, or post-trib position and read the comment sections. You will find extraordinarily long argument threads filled with people literally assaulting each other with scripture verses and doctrinal extrapolation.

Let’s take a look at each position, the proof points, and the counter arguments

The Pre-Tribulation Theory

The pre-trib position is that the Church will to avoid the entire Tribulation period. They believe that the judgments of Tribulation are not meant for the Church and there is no point in Jesus leaving His Bride on earth during that time. Some of their proof points include:

• The faithful church of Philadelphia is specifically promised to be kept from the time of the Tribulation.
• Paul writes that the “Antichrist” (who is the catalyst for the Tribulation) can’t show up until the “Restrainer” (the Holy Spirit) is removed from the earth .   And since the Holy Spirit indwells the Church, It must be removed too.
• They see the Rapture occurring in Revelation Chapter 4, when the scene shifts from the Churches on earth, to Heaven.
• In Revelation 1, Jesus clearly refers to the Lampstands as the Churches He is writing to on the earth. However when He finishes His message to the churches, the Lampstands are then seen in Heaven BEFORE the Tribulation begins.
• In the same scene as the Lampstands are the 24 Elders. They sing a song claiming that they have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus . This is something ONLY believers can claim, therefore the 24 Elders represent the Church in Heaven. Again, this happens before the Tribulation begins in the next chapter.
• After Jesus’ letters to the Churches in Revelation 2-3, the Church is not mentioned again until the end of the book – AFTER the vivid descriptions of the Tribulation.
• Pre-tribbers believe in the “Doctrine of Imminence”, citing the many places where the Church is told to “be ready” and “be watchful” for the coming of Jesus. Meaning the next event on the prophetic calendar for the Church is the Rapture

Mid and post-tribbers counter by denying that there is no clear Doctrine of Imminence in the Bible, and that the warnings to be watchful are about general faithfulness, not the Rapture.

They also believe that pre-tribbers misinterpret Paul and that the verse they cite clearly states that the Church will see the advent of the Antichrist. Mid-tribbers also see no scriptural reason to believe that the Church must be raptured before the Great Tribulation and associate the verses pre-tribbers use with a the mid-point rapture.

Furthermore, post-tribbers condemn pre-tribbers for being “escapists” who do not have the fortitude to suffer for the sake of Christ and invented their position to take the easy way out.

As we saw in the last post, they also cling to the “Darby invented the Rapture” fallacy. They also tend to reject the idea that the 7 letters to 7 Churches are an outline of Church history .

The Mid-Tribulation Theory

The mid-trib position is similar to pre-trib in that they don’t believe the Church is meant to endure God’s wrath, but they see the wrath beginning at the mid-point (last 3 ½ years), known as the Great Tribulation. Mid-tribbers are also known as “Pre-Wrath”. Some of their proof points include:

• The Church is promised tribulation
• The Church is NOT promised wrath
• The Church will see the advent of the Antichrist
• According to Paul, the Rapture occurs at the sounding of the “last trumpet”. They see this as the 7 th Trumpet in Revelation 11 when the earth is reclaimed by Jesus, thus He can come claim His Bride

The main counter argument of the pre-tribbers is that the mid-trib position denies imminence and ruins the wedding model of the Rapture in that Jesus’ coming for His Bride is no longer a “surprise”. You can know exactly when He’s going to show up. Just wait for the Antichrist to initiate the Tribulation, and start counting down 1260 days.

So technically, mid-tribbers aren’t directly watching for Jesus, they’re watching for the Antichrist!

Pre-tribbers also see the promise of church tribulation to be general (ie, historic persecutions of the Church), not a specific reference to the first 3 ½ years. Lastly they don’t see Paul’s “last trump” as synonymous with the 7 th trumpet in Revelation because Revelation was written over 30 years after Paul died.

Post-tribbers use most of the same counter arguments they use against pre-tribbers.

The Post-Tribulation Theory

The post-trib position is that the Rapture of the Church is synonymous with the Second Coming of Christ at the end of the Tribulation. They see the idea of a “secret rapture” occurring before or during the Tribulation as unbiblical conjecture and believe that the verses and doctrines used to justify those positions are specious at best. Some of their proof points include:

• In Matthew 24, Jesus clearly says that he will Rapture His “elect” AFTER the Tribulation.
• Jesus says that only those who endure to the end will be saved.
• The Bible says that the Antichrist will “overcome” the saints, meaning they will endure his wrath until the end of the Tribulation.
• There is only one Biblical scene of Jesus returning after His resurrection and its at the end of the Tribulation.

Pre and mid-tribbers share some of the same counter arguments.

At the Second Coming, Jesus is depicted as coming WITH believers , not FOR them. They don’t think it makes much sense for the Church to be Raptured to the air , then immediately turn around and come back to earth with Jesus.

They don’t see all “saints” as synonymous. The “saints” who will be saved during the Tribulation (and overcome by the Antichrist) are distinct from the Church, just as are the Old Testament saints. The same can be said of the word “elect” (which usually refers to Israel anyway).

Pre-tribbers also see Mathew 24 as pertaining strictly to Jews, NOT the Church, since His discourse in that chapter was a response to a Jewish-focused question (about the Temple and the Kingdom ) asked by three Jewish disciples (and also because the Church didn’t exist yet).

Finally, they see no reason why Jesus would spend 7 years beating the hell out of His Bride before taking her up to Heaven.

Which theory is right and which ones are wrong?

ALL OF THEM!! Each side is correct in what they affirm, but they are all incorrect in what they deny.

How is this possible? Because Rapture adherents are all making the same mistake as the Pharisees did about Jesus’ first advent!

Following in the footsteps of the Pharisees

As we saw in an earlier post , the Pharisees read prophetic scriptures about Jesus that depicted conflicting/contradicting descriptions of the Messiah’s advent. So they made the comparative decision to accept the ones they liked (the conquering King) and reject the ones they didn’t like (the suffering servant), and because of this, they didn’t recognize their Messiah when He arrived, and conspired to kill Him!

IF they had been willing to think contrastively , they would have understood that if there are two contradictory descriptions of the Messiah’s advent (and contradictions can’t exist ) then there MUST be two distinct advents.

If you don’t learn from history, you’re bound to repeat it

The problem is that the Rapture adherents didn’t learn from the Pharisees’ mistake. They see distinct and contradictory descriptions of the timing of the Rapture and comparatively pick the one they like best (pre, mid, or post-trib), while rejecting the others! They are actually victims of religious brain damage!

What’s my proof? Just look at the Rapture websites I mentioned before. Visiting these sites and perusing the readers’ comments is truly distressing. You will be astounded as you see Christians who are SUPPOSED to be in fellowship and brotherhood – who Jesus COMMANDED to love one another , launch into vicious and visceral attacks on each other using the most insulting, demeaning, and condescending language you can imagine.

The situation is exacerbated because the scriptures that each side use in their arguments are true. Therefore they feel justified in their comparative position, thinking “I MUST be right because I can cite scripture that clearly supports my position.”

But because they are in pride, they also feel justified in disregarding any position (and demeaning any person) that conflicts with them.

Jesus said that you would be able to identify His followers by the love that showed for one another. It would be difficult to prove that any of the commenters on these sites are Christians based on what they write.

Adherents to a single Rapture position become brain damaged by their unwillingness to think contrastively to the point that they are no longer recognizable as Christians!

So WHAT is the correct position?

As I’ve reiterated time and again on this blog, the only way to resolve conflicts and be right is to think contrastively – instead of trying to prove your opposition wrong, try to prove YOURSELF wrong and prove your adversary right as Jesus commanded.

If they did this, they would discover an amazing resolution to the conflict:

If there is more than one distinct scriptural depiction of the Rapture – THEN THERE MUST BE MORE THAN ONE RAPTURE!!

How would this work?

I believe that Jesus is coming for a Bride who is expecting Him. The wedding model shows that the Bride should be in a constant state of expectation.

The Church is consistently commanded to be in a state of readiness and to watch for Him. Those who are expecting to be taken pre-trib, WILL be raptured before the Tribulation. Those who don’t will be left until the next one.

Those who believe in a mid-trib Rapture WILL be taken at the end of the first 3 ½ years (right before the Great Tribulation) along with others who become believers after the Tribulation starts (and post-tribbers who change their position after witnessing the first Rapture).

Anyone who becomes saved during the Great Tribulation , including the Jewish remnant (we’ll discuss them in the next post) will be Raptured at the end of the Tribulation – along with anyone who still sticks to their original post-trib position (you have to admire their fortitude).

I no longer argue with anyone about the timing of the Rapture. If someone says the Church will be Raptured before the Tribulation, I say “you’re right, we will be”. If they say believers will have to endure the first half but will be taken before the Great Tribulation, I say “you’re right, you will be”. If they think believers will have to endure the entire 7 years, I say, “you’re right. You will”.

The question is not WHEN the Rapture will occur, but rather when do you WANT to be raptured? Personally, I want to go before the Tribulation starts.

For those post-tribbers who want to call me an escapist, that’s fine. I’ll wave to you from the mezzanine.

We’ve talked around the Tribulation extensively in this post and it’s been mentioned quite a bit in earlier posts as the apocalyptic period of God’s judgment of the evil in the world that we all know it so richly deserves. But what exactly is it? Who is involved? And why does it need to happen before the next dispensation? We’ll begin to explore those questions next time…

6 thoughts on “ The Rapture – part 2: The Timing is Right ”

Are you saying that when a person is raptured depends on when they believe they will be raptured? Can you show me any evidence of this in the Bible?

Todd, did you read the post? In it I pointed out the Biblical command that Christians be watchful and vigilant for the coming of Christ in order to escape the Day of the Lord (the Tribulation). Those who are not watchful will NOT escape. If you want specific verses, try 1 Thess 5:1-11, Revelation 3:3,10 -11, Revelation 16:15. If you don’t BELIEVE that there is a Rapture before the tribulation, you obviously won’t be watchful for it, and you will have to wait for the next one. I think it’s highly unlikely post-tribbers will hold to their position after the first rapture, so I expect all remaining Christians to be taken at the mid point. The final rapture is intended for unbelieving Jews who finally accept Jesus.

I fully understand and appreciate your post and views. Could you please give me your scriptures on the multiple raptures. Thank you

There are seven raptures in the Bible – Enoch, Elijah, Jesus, Philip, pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib (all Christians accept the first four, but many apparently believe that God is only able to do one more). Scripture references are given for all seven in my two posts on the rapture

https://faithbyreason.net/the-rapture-part-1-the-crazy-truth/ https://faithbyreason.net/the-rapture-part-2-the-timing-is-right/

I enjoy your writings EM. It’s much more clear with the book of truth open to us, revealing HIS perfect timing by Daniels (mostly in Daniel 11) as promised to us. Many of us guessed at the seals, thunders. trumpet plagues but we need to wait for new wine (information) now given to us. I think this annexation will trigger the abomination (mentioned in Daniel 4 times) and then the rapture here this July 2020.

Hello Pete,

I don’t really try to guess the exact timing of the Rapture, because I don’t believe anyone on earth knows for sure. But I do believe it is imminent. It could happen before I send this reply. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens within the next 10 years. I think we have many reasons to believe it will happen well within our lifteimes. But only God knows the timing

Travel vs Trip – Difference

What is the difference between Travel and Trip?

These two words frequently confuse learners of English.

A quick explanation that is valid for most situations is the following:

Travel – a verb (the action) Trip – a noun

Susan’s husband isn’t in town at the moment; he is on a business trip . He travels to many different countries. Susan met her husband on a trip to the Bahamas.

Travel – to go from one place to another Trip – a journey that is often for a short period of time.

NOTE: There are some exceptions to the general rule above.

Travel can also be a noun when it refers to the act of traveling.

• Travel is difficult in that part of the country since there are no paved roads.
• Travel broadens your mind.

Sometimes Travel appears in plural form and in that case is normally preceded by a possessive adjective (my travels, his travels etc.)

• She has had many adventures in her travels .
• I have never seen any as strange as that in all of my travels .

Trip can also be a verb though it has a completely different meaning. To Trip – to accidentally stumble and almost fall while walking or running, usually after catching your foot on something.

• He didn’t see the cat and he tripped up.

Trip vs. Journey

A trip usually refers to traveling to a place and returning back to where you started. A journey usually implies traveling from one place to another (not necessarily returning to where you started). It sometimes refers to the length of time taken to go from one place to another.

• They went on a journey through South America that lasted 6 months.
• It is a three-day journey by train.

Some more uses of the word Trip

A day trip usually refers to a tourist activity that occupies your entire day. A business trip is when you travel for business reasons. A round trip means to travel somewhere and return to place of original, there and back (= a return trip)

11 signs of a midlife crisis, according to therapists.

Reaching middle age can certainly bring up a host of emotions, memories, and even new goals—but is there any validity to the stereotyped "midlife crisis" trope? To find out, we asked the experts, plus got their take on how to handle it if you think you're going through one.

So, what really is a "midlife crisis"?

A midlife crisis is a period of time during middle age in which some people experience existential fears around their own mortality, as well as what they've accomplished so far in life and what the future holds for them. According to Anna Yusim, M.D. , a psychiatrist and author of  Fulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life , it's not an actual psychological term but a colloquial one.

"It's something that we characterize as happening between the ages of 40 and 60, maybe even 35 and 65 depending, and it's just somebody feeling discontent with an aspect of their life and often taking some steps to remedy the discontent," Yusim says.

Those steps, adds psychotherapist  Annette Nuñez, Ph.D., LMFT, are often drastic life changes, like starting a whole new career path or trying to retain (or reclaim) some sort of youthful behavior.

What causes a midlife crisis.

Midlife crises are often triggered by reaching a certain age, becoming acutely aware of your own mortality, and/or reflecting on what you've done (or haven't done) in life so far. "When people reevaluate their lives, it often brings up mixed emotions of anxiety, stress, regret, and sadness," Nuñez notes.

The recognition of aging can also trigger a feeling of crisis, Yusim explains, whether it's physical signs of aging like menopause or even simply the realization that life has grown a bit mundane.

"Something about the recognition of all of that leads people to want to grasp at something, to feel more alive, and sometimes make changes in their life," Yusim says.

Do they only happen to men?

The idea of a man reaching middle age and having a midlife crisis that involves buying a car, for example, is a common misconception around the concept of midlife crises. But according to Nuñez and Yusim, anyone can have a midlife crisis, regardless of gender.

While yes, the crisis may manifest differently in men versus women thanks to certain gender norms and expectations, there is certainly overlap. Yusim says those differences have historical origins: "Men historically have been more financially independent and were able to take steps that were much more outward in order to deal with their midlife crises, like getting a sports car," she says.

But now times are changing, and women have more of that independence, so they, too, can switch jobs or make extravagant purchases.

All that to say, the idea that only men have midlife crises is outdated and inaccurate.

8 signs of a midlife crisis:

An acute awareness of getting older.

One of the main characteristics of a midlife crisis is the recognition that you're getting older, often with some negative feelings attached to it. As Yusim explains, this can be brought on by things like menopause or changes in appearance, or emotionally monumental life transitions like kids moving out of the house.

Impulsive behavior

To remedy the discontent they feel around aging, someone going through a midlife crisis may behave impulsively. "They may live a more reckless lifestyle because of the urgency to reevaluate life and really live," Nuñez explains.

And as Yusim adds, "Even impulsive changes are a product of long-standing frustrations or difficulties that people have been quite conflicted about—and maybe at some point have finally decided to act on."

A shift in mental or physical well-being

There's a reason it's called a "crisis." Midlife crises aren't all fun and games; they're usually accompanied by heavy feelings such as regret, sadness, frustration, irritability, anger, and so on, according to Yusim.

Reflecting on the past

Nuñez says midlife crises have a lot to do with reevaluating your life. "You're hitting a midpoint in life, and you're reevaluating what you've done in life, including any regrets, and questioning what you've done so far," she says.

Contemplating purpose and meaning

Along with reflecting on the past, there's a lot of concern for the future—and what you're going to make of it—when going through a midlife crisis. This kind of contemplation leads to questions about purpose and meaning , Nuñez explains. It's about " finding out who you are as a person and trying to find the meaning of life," she says.

A desire to experience new things

Realizing that your life is "half over" can make anyone want to experience new things, Nuñez and Yusim both note. Whether it's traveling, starting a whole new career , or sky diving, someone going through a midlife crisis may go to extreme lengths to thrill-seek or simply do something they've never done before.

Concerns about appearance & status

Someone going through a midlife crisis may become increasingly preoccupied with their appearance and/or status, according to Nuñez and Yusim. Perhaps they get cosmetic surgery, dye their hair, or start dressing more "hip." Maybe they start dating younger people, or going out and partying more, all in an attempt to hold on that youthfulness.

Loss of interest in certain relationships

And lastly, Nuñez and Yusim also both note that midlife crises can affect the people in the life of whoever is going through the crisis. Someone going through a midlife crisis who has children, for example, may not be as attentive as a parent as they're trying to find themselves, Nuñez explains.

Or in other extreme instances, one partner in a relationship may realize they've outgrown the other , leading to a divorce. "I see a lot of couples where one partner is going through a midlife crisis and the other isn't, and you'll see a lot that this leads to breakups or divorces during this midlife crisis age," she adds.

Common stages of a midlife crisis:

Recognition.

According to Yusim, a midlife crisis can be split into three main stages, with the first being the initial recognition. This is the moment of realization that's impossible to ignore, that you've reached middle age and are feeling some sort of discontent, she explains, adding, "And then people either recognize the discontent, or they push it away."

The crisis itself

If someone recognizes their discontent and chooses to start making changes, this is the actual crisis stage of a midlife crisis. This is the point where you start to see many of those aforementioned signs, like impulsive behavior or changes to appearance.

In this stage, Yusim says, people can opt for internal and/or external changes. "Are you going to do something about it in your inner world, like try to change your attitude and how you're feeling? Or something in your outer world like Botox, or leaving your marriage or your job?" she explains.

The resolution

Eventually, the crisis will end, and a resolution will be achieved, Yusim explains. This can take different amounts of time for everyone, with no set timeline. Generally speaking, however, when a person feels content with where they're at and have ceased a lot of those common midlife crisis behaviors, a resolution has been reached.

Overcoming the crisis.

If you're going through a midlife crisis:.

While a midlife crisis can feel unnerving to say the least, Nuñez says it can actually be a tremendous period of self-reflection and growth. "Midlife crises are actually really helpful because in a sense, you start identifying who you are and what you want to do throughout the rest of your life. So midlife crises can be healthy as long as people don't react to them to the extremes," she says.

And if you are worried you're taking things a bit too far, both she and Yusim note that talking to a therapist about how you're feeling can help, too. "You need insight and awareness as to what is causing the discontent to know the life change you want to make," Yusim says.

She also adds that the most important thing you can do is get a sense of what you're really feeling. "Who are you really? What are the options available to you? And then connect with your soul ," she says.

Be patient with yourself and remember this period won't last forever.

If someone you know is going through a midlife crisis:

If someone you know is dealing with a midlife crisis and you want to support them , Nuñez and Yusim both say the best thing you can do is to simply be there for them, listen to them, and be patient with them. They also agree it's a good idea to suggest they seek therapy.

Nuñez adds you can watch out for them as well, stepping in if you see them partaking in self-destructive behavior like going into debt over exorbitant purchases. "Just bringing it to the person's attention and bringing them down to earth, as opposed to letting them flounder," she explains.

The takeaway.

The truth is, it's natural—and not uncommon—to go through a midlife crisis at some point in your life. So if you or someone you know is experiencing a midlife crisis, know it won't last forever, there are resources available to help you get through it, and aging can be a beautiful thing when you let it.

Halfway Point Calculator

Midpoint between two places.

Travelmath helps you figure out the midpoint between two locations based on the driving directions from each starting point. You can find the closest town that is an equal distance from two cities. Use this tool to determine the best city to meet, or to look for interesting stops along the way if you're planning a long road trip and you need to take a break or stay overnight. Search for hotels at the midpoint city to split up your drive, or explore other nearby cities and discover local towns on your trip. If you're meeting a friend halfway in-between, you can figure out how far each person has to drive and how long it will take to arrive at the center. Even if you're separated by water, you can still calculate the straight line geographic midpoint to determine the closest flight distance.

You can also calculate the driving distance or check the total driving time . Or figure out the cost of driving for each person to get to the meeting spot. If you're driving a long distance, it might be useful to get a list of the best places to stop along your entire route.

What does the slang word 'mid' really mean?

"Mid" is a slang word for anything that's ... blah. Meh. Eh.

According to Bark.us , a company that decodes teen slang, "mid" is "a term used to describe something that is average, not particularly special, 'middle of the road.'"

Urban Dictionary states that “mid” is: "Used to insult or degrade an opposing opinion, labeling it as average or poor quality.”

What does 'mid' mean?

Think: a lukewarm bowl of mac-and-cheese or a three-star hotel, says Kelly Elizabeth Wright, a postdoctoral research fellow in language sciences at Virginia Tech.

For example:

“How was that new boba place?” “It tasted mid.”

“What do you think of my outfit? “It’s mid.”

“Did you like the movie?” “It’s a mid sequel.”

“Mid is a fun word that I find indicative of the ways in which the newer generations are using language, particularly how younger users find ways to downgrade less-than-pleasant experiences," Wright tells TODAY.com . "(Previous) generations ... which have been prone to hyperbole, might have called such places and experiences 'wretched' or 'heinous,' making contemporary applications of 'mid' feel like a rather self-aware alternative."

According to Wright, "mid" is older than modern English.

"It's been part of the language since before 1150 and means ‘occupying a central, medial, or intermediate position,' according to the Oxford English Dictionary ," she says. "We are seeing it grow in usage, both in terms of an increasing number of people using the term descriptively and that number of people including users from diverse backgrounds."

As guest writer Ayesha M. Malik wrote in “Among the New Words,” a journal published by “American Speech”:

“It can also be used very neutrally to mean something is not worthy of substantive remark, capturing perfectly Gen Z’s blasé attitudes about most things, as in ‘I have no feelings one way or the other. It is the middest of mid,’ It’s all somewhere near the middle — the spin is up to the speaker.”

Where did 'mid' come from?

According to Malik, "mid" was used by people in cannabis culture.

"Meaning weed that’s not quite top shelf, but not bottom of the barrel either," she wrote. "Perfectly fine in a pinch, mid-grade weed is neutral-positive as it gets the job done for cannabis consumers who are less than discerning."

“Mid” made trouble in September 2021, when professional wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman used it to insult people who live in Cincinnati, Ohio, during a match.

“It’s called the Midwest because every single thing in it is mid,” he yelled, including a chili restaurant chain, the Cincinnati Reds baseball team and people who call the region home.

According to Adam Aleksic, aka, the “Etymology Nerd” as he’s known on TikTok, the word “mid" will get midder with time.

“We will almost definitely see ‘mid’ become even more negative because it’s a very frequent theme in etymology for common or average things to become bad,” Aleksic said in a TikTok video .

Aleksic pointed to the origins of words like “trivial” which once defined “commonplace” and “ vulgar ” meant “pertaining to the common people,” he said.
