The false pre-tribulation rapture deception was created by a Jesuit priest named Francisco Ribera (1537-1591). Ribera was commanded to create a new eschatological doctrine that would combat the historical Protestant view that the Catholic church was one of the beasts written of in the book of Revelation and the little horn power in the book of Daniel.
A second Jesuit priest, Manuel De Lacunza, wrote a book supporting Ribera’s Futurist doctrine under the pen name “Juan Josafa (Rabbi) Ben Ezra” in 1791. Lacunza took on a fake Jewish name in order to mislead Christian people.If the Protestants knew a Jesuit was behind this new doctrine they would have never accepted it.
A third Jesuit priest, Luis De Alcazar, wrote a commentary titled “The Investigation of the Hidden Sense of the Apocalypse” which put forth a second false doctrine, its purpose was to contradict the historical Protestant view. This new doctrine was called “Preterism” and basically espoused that the Emperor Nero was the Antichrist and that the prophecies in book of Revelation were fulfilled by the year 70 A.D.
Both new doctrines, Futurism & Preterism, were created by the Jesuits in order to deceive Protestant Christians and to obfuscate the prophecies in Revelation & Daniel. Both the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation clearly mark the Catholic church as being part of the Antichrist power. We’re talking about the Elite hierarchy of the Catholic Church and the teachings of the Mother Chruch not the everyday catholic who is ignorant of such things.
The Jesuits passed their doctrine onto Edward Irving (1792-1834), a Scottish Presbyterian and forerunner of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. Irving translated Lacunza’s work from Spanish into English in a book titled “The Coming of Messiah in Glory and Majesty”, published in London in 1827 by L.B. Seeley & Sons.
Edward Irving was a preacher from Scotland and had a small congregation. A young girl (15 years old) by the name of Margaret McDonald had a series of visions in the early 1830’s. These visions supported a pre-tribulation rapture of the saints as established in the writings of Francisco Ribera. She wrote a letter to Irving concerning her visions and Irving brought her revelations to a prophecy conference held at Powerscourt Castle in Dublin Ireland in 1830. Edward Irving aggressively promoted Futurism, the Jesuit created rapture doctrine based on Ribera’s lies.
From England and Scotland the Jesuit created Pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine grew and then spread to America. It was John Nelson Darby (1800–1882) who also attended the prophecy conference at Powerscourt Castle who was the first American preacher to zealously spread the Jesuit inspired false doctrine.
Next came the infamous American preacher, Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921). Cyrus Scofield was heavily influenced by the writings of John Darby. Scofield interweaved Futurism into the notes of his Scofield Reference Bible.The Scofield Reference Bible was published by Oxford press in 1909. By 1930 over one million copies were in circulation and the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine known as futurism was well on its way to becoming a ubiquitous part of mainstream American Christianity.
Fast-forward to 2009. Millions upon millions of people (who call themselves Christians) throughout the world now believe in and follow the pre-trib rapture doctrine. What is important is that pre-trib rapture “Christians” will not denounce their false prophets and their false teachers. They will not stop following the traditions of man and repent and turn back to God. Because of their faith in men and instead of trusting their Creator, they have turned towards evil and have believed a lie.
Before you attack me go ahead and research the information. Study it and try and disprove it. I guarantee you won’t be able to disprove it. After you’ve found out that my words are true think about why the Jesuits purposely spread this false doctrine to begin with. Then remember what the Scriptures say, Mark 13:22 “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."
And,2Th 2:11 & 2:12 “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned."
The Pre-Tribulation rapture was prophesied long ago in the Bible. We were warned before hand not to believe any other gospel, even if it came from the lips of an Apostle. You are following false teachers and false prophets if you believe this doctrine and you are being deceived.
