Wrong. Please don’t confuse millennialism with pre-trib rapture. The former was believed by some in the early Church, the latter is a 19th century invention. Both are false doctrine.

I am not wrong on the “catching away” or “rapture”. Paul wrote the first letter to the Thessaloians because they thought they had missed that catching away that Paul told them about when he was with them as he states in his letters to them and at the end of the first letter to the Corinthians.

As far as the millenium, that was taught by the Jewish believers based on OT scripture that does teach that Jesus will rule on this earth in Jerusalem (Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah to name a few). It is also explicidly stated in Revelation that Jesus will rule for 1000 yrs here on the earth, this earth. Amillennialism was greatly advanced by Augustin in the late 4th to early 5th century and became the accepted eschatological view by the roman catholic church and has been taught ever since.

I have not confused the subjects, as both go hand in hand. A literal reading of the bible clearly states these two events, as to when the catching away or rapture will occur, no one knows, but it will occur as will the millennial reign of Jesus here on earth.

Again, the eschatological views of Augustin have been taught as doctrine for 17-18 centuries, that does not make them correct. It was forced on people who could not read the bible for themselves and had to rely on the clergy to tell them what things meant.

Folks who believe the way I do were hunted down and martyred by the Roman church. That is an historical fact.
