I had never heard that! What was it about the 1800's that so many false prophets got so many so lost. I don't know about this woman but this was the age of false prophets who started the unique American tradition of cult religions claiming to have finally gotten to the truth. I know there are plenty of pre-tribs out there (including my family) who are in Christ so don't shoot me for saying they are all cult members.

Count 'em up. A lot of stuff (with quirky eschatologies) came out around then. A log of it out of the upstate NY "Burned Over District". Millerites, Adventism, LDS, Jehovah's Witnesses.

Historic premils aren't such a problem.
