Thanks for the references to the early church fathers. Most people just blow over their writings or grossly misrepresent them.
Now I’ll sit and wait for all the heretic hunters to chime in.

This claptrap about the early church fathers believing in the rapture is nonsense.

"Clement of Rome (35-101) and Ignatius of Antioch (died 110) were of this frame of mind. Apparently, Irenaeus of Lyon (120-202) was a pre-tribulation believer, and he was a disciple of Polycarp, a disciple of the Apostle John. He wrote of his views in that arena of thought in his book, Against Heresies."

By all means, study the early Church Fathers, and then tell us what writings refer to something other than the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. or the Second Coming of Christ.
