Good question.

I think, as time progresses, all believers will be asking, “when is the rapture we were promised.” How many times have I heard, “I don’t plan to be here when things get bad”?

Then the nations will begin to mock the believers. (2 Peter 3.4)

Will the false promises by lying prophets set us up for “The Apostasy?” (2 Thess 2)

I recently studied some the beginnings of the general acceptance of Pre-Trib Rapture popularized initially by J.N.Darby. The original Brethren split began with end times differences between Darby and B. W. Newton. Newton’s teaching on the Parable of the Tares was fairly persuasive. At least to me. None of the Exclusives would agree though.
