I know too many extremely notable biblical historians that agree there is going to be a rapture.
The preachers that just preach the word, like Philip Anthony Mitchell,
agree and preach on the rapture. If it was just a rumor started in the 1800's, i dont think most Christians would believe it.
I don't think you understand the history of this belief and can really wrap your head around it yet. Let me help you out a little bit....
This belief in the rapture, also called premillennial dispensationalism or darbyism, was virtually unheard of for about 1800 years and the beginning of it were condemned as heresy back in the third century.
In 1909 the first study Bible with footnotes that explained passages and had eschatological (the fancy word for views of the end times) positions was published and distributed.... With the support of the Rothschilds.
Because it was the first Bible of its kind and because of the reasonable cost and publishers (again, the Rothschild family) availability and distribution, it was widely adopted by pastors and seminaries alike. Seminary students finally had a cliff notes built into the Bible. Those students became pastors. They taught and preached this position. And so on and so on.
A couple of hundred years later and it is the prevalent position and view of the end times.... That not a single one of our founding fathers shared.
Now why would the Jewish Rothschilds want to put Israel Central to Future fulfillment of prophecy and make it important for Christians when a majority of the world was christian? Geez I don't know /s
Speaking of KJV, I watched an absolutely amazing video last night of a guy that used the patterns in the KJV to convince Groke that the Bible was divinely inspired.
I realize it's a long video but as a theology guy I rarely stumble across anything that's this damn interesting and informative on the subject of the Bible. I learned quite a bit

Which is why those of us who grew up with the Geneva (1557) and King James (1611) Bibles are not much affected by this.
