Re: Christian Zionists

"I know it is common knowledge that Darby was the originator of the rapture. I've read numerous "articles" about that but this is not true."

Are you talking about pre-tribulation rapture? or merely rapture in general?

What is the basis for pre-tribulation of the rapture?

I have not seen it, Darby and Scofield speculate regarding pre-tribulation rapture, I'm sure others speculated the same thing before them, so I do not doubt that they are merely the originators on the first written record.

As far as some so called Christians being lackadaisical as a result of the pre-tribulation belief, I have experienced first hand peoples indifference with the pre-tribulation rapture as an excuse for their lack of pro-activity. Not to say that there are those that are not active despite their belief of the pre-tribulation rapture, for I have met many who believe in it as well that are actively helping those in need. Enlighten me I don't get where this perspective comes from other than from speculation. Tweet
