Just FYI for those who are unfamiliar with the above Dispensationalist (earthly millennium, rapture-at-any-moment) interpretation of Scripture regarding the End Times presented here: the majority of Christians today (and who have ever lived, for that matter) do not ascribe to it. It was not developed until the early 19th century. It originated in England but is mostly held by many (not all) American evangelicals.

I'm not saying there is no truth in it or that nobody should consider it, only that it is important to know that this is not the only interpretation or position. As the majority of Christians in the world are either Catholic, Orthodox and other Eastern Churches who do not ascribe to modern Dispensationalism vastly outnumber the American influenced Evangelical Protestants and Protestant Fundamentalists that are the ones who primarily embrace modern Dispensationalism, it is important to point out that it doesn't represent the views of most Christians.

Here we go again. I won't get into a long drawn out debate or try and list references to back what I'm about to say because it's an argued ad nauseam here on FR, but teachings about the Rapture have been in existence for many hundreds of years and is NOT a recent teaching only brought up in the 19th century. This kind of talk only discourages the saints.

The “facts” that you have laid out in this post above are not true - and quite frankly nonsense.

It’s BS to attribute this to the 19th century.

Why do you guys have to lie about the Pre-Tribulation Rapture that The Lord, Peter, and the Apostle Paul all talked about in Scripture?

Some of you have no shame!

Unless you polled people yourself, you cannot make that kind of claim because you don't know. You have no idea how many Christians believe it and how many people who claim to be Christian believe it.
