![]() The fact of the matter is that concept is far from being “a new doctrine.” These examples are just a few of dozens that you could read about if you looked for them before Darby or anything related to the last 150 years. 17) and this will be about three years and a half before the millennium, as we shall see hereafter: but will he and they abide in the air all that time? No. I say, somewhat more-, because the dead saints will be raised, and the living changed at Christ’s appearing in the air (I Thes. He was not stranger to suffering, nor did he look for a reason to “escape.” He outlived his first and second wife as well as the majority of his children. He was, in all likelihood, a student of George Whitfield. The last one we will look at today is the founder of Brown University, Morgan Edwards. But when the Antichrist is dead, Dolcino himself, who then would be the holy pope, and his preserved followers, will descend on the earth, and will preach the right faith of Christ to all, and will convert those who will be living then to the true faith of Jesus Christ. Then they would be killed by him or by his servants, and thus Antichrist would reign for a long time. And that then Enoch and Elijah themselves would descend on the earth for the purpose of preaching Antichrist. ![]() And in this way they will be preserved unharmed from the persecution of Antichrist. And that the Antichrist was coming into this world within the bounds of the said three and a half years and after he had come, then he and his followers would be transferred into Paradise, in which are Enoch and Elijah. This was taken from the Latin book, The History of Brother Dolcino.Īgain, that within those three years Dolcino himself and his followers will preach the coming of the Antichrist. I am not in agreement with some of the theology in the following statement but it is clear that this leader did, in fact, preach the catching up of the saints and the Blessed Hope. For all the saints and elect of God are gathered together before the tribulation, which is to come, and are taken to the Lord, in order that they may not see at any time the confusion which overwhelms the world because of our sins.īrother Dolcino from the Apostolic Brethen in the 1300’s is another example. Why therefore do we not reject every care of earthly actions and prepare ourselves for the meeting of the Lord Jesus Christ, so that he may draw us from the confusion, which overwhelms all the world?. We ought to understand thoroughly therefore, my brothers, what is imminent or overhanging. . It is not completely clear if he expected some type of major attacks by a foreign power to be the beast of Revelation or a literal one. This was a leader in Syria that wrote pieces about what he believed was coming. The following is what wrote,Īnd therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be. For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they overcome they are crowned with incorruption.Īnother interesting statement was made by Pseudo-Ephraem. The reply was, “Be not of doubtful mind, Hermas.”Ī few years later, it was Irenaeus talking about the catching up before the tribulation. In it he asked the Lord to rescue him from the beast. In the discourse, he talks about an open vision that he had. What we do know is the The Shepherd of Hermas in 140 AD wrote about the catching up before the times of testing. However, some popular views such as Partial Preterism (that Azusa Report considers heretical) is not much older. One of the biggest misunderstanding about the Pre-Trib position on the catching up is that is only 150 years old. I see great things being done through people who are part of the Gateway people. I would also say that he is doing quite the work there in Dallas for the sake of the Kingdom. I am sure we share differences on some things but I know Robert Morris to be a man that loves the Holy Ghost. He openly believes in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, praying in tongues and healing the sick. He might not be classic Pentecostal but he is a man of the Spirit. I also want to say that I consider him as Pentecostal brethren. Divine healing is not secondary to the gospel it is an integral part of the gospel itself. He has (at the time of this writing) some very serious health challenges. The first and foremost is I am praying for his healing. In the video, he makes two criticism of the Pre-Tribulation rapture as a doctrine known as the Blessed Hope.īefore I go into the video and the theology of it, let me say a few things about Robert Morris. ![]() ![]() Robert Morris, founder pastor of Gateway Church in Dallas preached a message about the rapture some time ago and someone send me the link on Youtube.
