Check this out. Chapter Four, Pretribulation Rapture: The History

[Yosemitest]

Also look at The Pretribulation Rapture Has Been Taught Throughout Christian History.

"I will add this more, namely, what may be conceived to be the cause of this RAPTURE of the saints on high to meet the Lord in the clouds, rather than to wait his coming to earth....
What if it be, that they may be PRESERVED during the Conflagration of the earth and the works thereof, 2 Pet.3:10, that as Noah and his family were preserved from the Deluge by being lift up above the waters in the Ark; so should the saints at the Conflagration be lift up in the clouds unto their Ark, Christ, to be preserved there from the deluge of fire, wherein the wicked shall be consumed?" ("The Works of Joseph Mede," 1672, London edition, Book IV, p.776)

Thanks for the pings.

Look like good docs.

Certainly has been my conviction for a long time.

Though I don’t agree that the Rapture per se is false.

Scripture is clear about there being a “catching away.”
