Revelation Teaching

The prophetic framework most believers consider non-negotiable — a seven-year tribulation, a pre-tribulation rapture, a Millennial Kingdom still waiting to begin — was not taught by the apostles and did not exist in Protestant theology until the 19th century. It traces directly to a Jesuit priest named Francisco Ribera and was embedded into mainstream Christianity through the Scofield Reference Bible. Revelation deserves to be read through Scripture itself, not a system handed to Protestantism by the very church it once stood against.
