Look at what Polycarp states about the Coming of Christ, this is from 100 A.D.
Chapter 2. An exhortation to virtue
Wherefore, girding up your loins,
1 Peter 1:13;
Ephesians 6:14 serve the Lord in
fear and
truth, as those who have forsaken the vain, empty talk and
error of the multitude, and
believed in Him who raised up
our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, and gave Him
glory,
1 Peter 1:21 and a throne at His right hand. To Him all things
1 Peter 3:22;
Philippians 2:10 in heaven and on earth are subject. Him every spirit serves.
He comes as the Judge of the living and the dead. Acts 17:31
He comes as the Judge of the living and the dead. Acts 17:31
No mention of pre-trib Rapture, just when He comes it is as JUDGE!!
The Church Fathers knew the pre-trib rapture was FALSE and did not teach it!
