Barnabas(ca. 100-150), Papias (ca. 60-130), Justin Martyr (110-165), Irenaeus(120-202), Tertullian (145-220), Hippolytus (c. 185-236), Cyprian (200-250), and Lactantius (260-330) all beg to differ.
What did they write that you pretend is “Rapture”?
That old chestnut?
You know that they rejected the belief in a pretribulation Rapture and the radical distinction between an earthly and a heavenly people of God; such beliefs didn’t come about until many centuries later. The early Church Fathers, whether premillennialist or otherwise, believed that the Church was the New Jerusalem
Clement of Rome was bishop when the signs of the Olivet Discourse were being fulfilled (67-73 AD). he wrote that Peter and Paul had been martyred, but not before they “taught righteousness to the WHOLE WORLD, and they came to the extreme limit of the west”
Justin Martyr in FA, XXXIX wrote that “from Jerusalem there went out into the world, men, twelve in number, and these illiterate, of no ability in speaking; but by the power of God THEY PROCLAIMED TO EVERY RACE OF MEN”
justin Martyr - just taking one - wrote in ACR XXXIX that he believed the peace promises of Daniel were a present reality for him in the 2nd century.
He was not pre-millenial.
his baisc view is definitely what we would call amillenial because he clearly believed the Kingdom had come in the form of the Church
