You have pre and post reversed. The misapplication of St. Paul's description of the events living believers will experience at the time of the General Resurrection to an event before the horror of the end-times sketch prophetically in St. John's Apocalypse to promulgate a notion of 'pre-tribulation' rapture, dates to the 1820's.

Thank you. It's not something I spend a lot of time on. As you know, Orthodoxy did not include Apocalypse into the canon until the 8th century. It is the only book never read in the Divine Liturgy.

I knew it was "born" in 1820, but I am still not entire sure what you just said there. Can either of you explain?
