The early Church taught the imminence of the Return of Jesus for the church.

The Shepherd of Hermes talks of escaping the tribulation.
287AD an early manuscript found in Egypt speaks to escaping the apocalypse.
AD 387 The PseudoEphraem Sermon taught the pre-trib (authenticity is in question by some)
1304 Brother Dolcino talks of the Rapture
1674 Thomas Collier addressed the pre-trib Rapture
1704 Jon Askel wrote about an 'any moment Rapture' of the church of believers

The notions are not new. The notions were revived in the 1800s as covenant theology sought to untangle the sacriptures which featured Israel in the end times. They did not have our hindsight of seeing the nation remade in 1947 and taking the Temple Mount in 1967. Replacement theology is a fabrication poorly fitted tot he Truths of the Bible.
