Because the pre-tribulation rapture is not found in scripture whatsoever, we have to ask ourselves the question, where did this doctrine come from? Well, first of all, it was never taught before the year 1830 that there's any record of whatsoever. And believe me, there are a lot of books, commentaries, theological treatises, tracts, sermons, pamphlets that were written before 1830 that still exist today. 1830 wasn't really that long ago, and there's all kinds of documentation of what people believe, what they preach. There are all kinds of theological works, and yet not one scrap of paper before the year 1830 that teaches a pre-tribulation rapture. Now, I've seen a lot of people will try to pretend that someone taught it before 1830. Like I googled the history of the pre-tribulation rapture, and there were all these websites people saying, I've got proof that someone taught it before 1830. But when you click on it, it's a joke because I clicked on most of them and they just said, well, here's people who taught pre-millennialism before 1830. Well, we're not talking about pre-millennial, we're talking about pre-tribulation rapture. I believe the rapture is before the millennium, so does any Bible-believing Christian. But this pre-tribulation rapture was never taught before 1830. I clicked on another one and they said, oh, here's a Baptist from the late 1700s. He preached the pre-tribulation rapture. I clicked on it and read the quotes, and he was saying that the rapture happens when Jesus Christ comes in the clouds approximately three and a half years before the millennium. That's not a pre-tribulation rapture, because I believe that the rapture happens approximately three and a half years before the millennium. But that is not pre-tribulation doctrine, because the pre-tribulation rapture teaches that Christ comes in the clouds seven years before the millennium. And so, boy, the pre-tribulation rapture crowd is really grasping at straws and really scrambling to try to find somebody who taught this before 1830. But it's not out there. It doesn't exist. Now, the Bible tells us in Hebrews 13, 9, be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines, for it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace, not with meats which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. And so the pre-tribulation rapture is a divers and strange doctrine, because it's completely foreign to scripture. That's why no one even thought of it until around the year 1830. There's no evidence that anyone even dreamed of such a thing, because it is so foreign to scripture. .
