The Rapture theory originated in the 19th Century. It was not believed or taught among historical Christians prior to that very late date. The Second Coming of the Messiah has been believed and taught by historical Christians in every century without exception.

The ‘rapture’ is NOT the second coming of Christ. He will not come down to earth at that time. The ‘catching away’ will be just as Paul described it; “..to meet the Lord in the air..” 1Thess. 4:17.
When the Lord returns to earth, it will be in like manner to way he departed, even setting foot on the place he ascended from: the Mount of Olives. (see Zech. 14:4)
