If the main argument against rapture is that it was not discussed until mid 1900, then wouldn’t the same logic work against the gospel writers seeing Jesus revealed in the Scriptures of the old testament?

Except that Jesus explained to them what was said about Himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets. Luke 24:27

Let me know when the rapture theorists can perform a miracle like raising the dead in order to give us confirmation that their new revelations come from God. Jesus and the apostles supplied that confirmation, so if you want to compare them, then I think it’s only fair to hold them to the same standard.

The New Testament writers worked back from what Jesus already said and from the Resurrection. They didn’t posit stuff about Jesus that they hadn’t already seen and heard.

The early Church Fathers always saw Jesus revealed in the Old Testament. That's how the Catholic (and Orthodox) Church has always read the Bible. See Typology off the Fisheaters page on Lectio Divina (divine reading, or reading the Bible).
