It is not a 19th Century invention. Have you not read I Thes 4:13-17, or I Cor 15:51-54.
Contrary to accepted belief, this position was taught by the church for the first 3 1/2 centuries, and was finally overcome by the teaching of Augustinan in the late 4th-5th century and his views on eschatology have been taught as doctrine ever since.

“...and his views on __________have been taught as doctrine ever since.”
