This video discusses the pretrib rapture views and debunks the notion it originated with Darby.
Anyone can make that false claim that the pre-trib rapture theory goes back in history farther than the 1800's. It does not. Even pre-trib scholars have admitted that it only began in the 1800's.
They quote pseudo-Ephraim as teaching it when a look at his actual words isn't pointing to a pre-trib rapture at all. One must remember, that many on the pre-trib rapture theory so strongly want... it to be true, that any little suggestion that a passage is speaking about it, they try to turn into full-blown proof that pre-trib is true, when it is not. Anyone can dupe themselves when they believe in something very strongly, when it may not be true at all.
The BIGGEST PROOF that the pre-trib rapture idea is false is by measuring it per God's written Word.
In Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27, Lord Jesus Christ revealed that His future coming and gathering of His saints will be AFTER... the tribulation. It is written as a DIRECT STATEMENT.
That means ANY... sort of argument presented by those on man's pre-trib rapture theory falls flat, simply because Lord Jesus revealed His coming to gather His Church is AFTER the tribulation. The pre-trib theory instead falsely claims Jesus comes to rapture His Church PRIOR to the tribulation; Jesus said just the opposite.
Also, the Matthew 24:31 and Mark 13:27 verses directly parallel what Apostle Paul taught in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 about Christ's coming to gather His Church.
