Some later Christians thought Jesus would reign on earth for a thousand years (I suppose a primitive millennialism). John Nelson Darby introduced the Rapture concept and dispensationalism in 1830s. Scofield Reference Bible gave Darby's ideas the appearance of biblical authority. Suggested book: The Rapture Exposed:The Message of Hope in the Book of Revelation by Barbara R. Rossing, Professor of New Testament at the Lutheran School of Theology, Chicago. | |

| Sep 10, 2015 at 13:44 | comment | added | Mathematician | @DickHarfield In regard to the first half of your comment, you said that Millennialism is a nineteenth-century concept; do you have any references for that? Also, do you know what the early church believed in regard to eschatology? | |

| Sep 10, 2015 at 5:09 | comment | added | Dick Harfield | Millennialism is a nineteenth-century concept, so was on that basis alone not a hypothesis held by the early Church. Any serious coverage of eschatology has to go beyond ideas of 'rapture' or different styles of Millennialism. | |
