Is rapture prediction widespread - or from only one man?

Google, it appears to be one radio host, who is being beat down by other Christians -

I was under the impression, after seeing so many threads, that many Christian churches were on board.
But this seems like one old man that has done this before and denounces all Christian churches -

7. Most Christians do not believe in the rapture as a church doctine

and most Christians who do believe in the doctrine of the rapture do not believe that anyone knows the date.

8. Most Christians should believe in the second coming

which is NOT going to be pretty. Lots of death and destruction and sorting of the wicked.

9. It's huge, & it's a logical outgrowth of having invisible friends in the sky who tell you what to do

Seriously, if it's just 'one guy', who is driving all the trucks?
