I was raised Pretribulation Rapture, Premillenial, however after much study and reading of scripture and early church writings, I no longer hold to this. The Rapture is a modern church teaching. Most of Revelation as well as Jesus's teaching to his disciples speak to the early church, this great tribulation would happen before all the disciples were killed, and referred to the Judgment of Jerusalem by the Roman's under Titus in AD70. Josephus speaks to the horrors that happened in Jerusalem, yet Christ's followers took to the hills and mountains and went forth from Judea to spread the Gospel. Some of Revelation remains to be fulfilled-- that of Christ's earthly return, the Resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, Satan's judgment to the Lake of Fire with all who reject Christ. I can recommend Gary DeMar's works, reading Josephus,, and Puritan writers on the subject for a more historical Christian perspective on the end times.
