A note on Premil and the tie in. 

The roots of historic premillennialism can be traced back to early church fathers, particularly Irenaeus and Papias, who understood the Book of Revelation and spoke of a literal thousand-year reign of Christ on Earth. However, these interpretations were not widely prevalent during the Middle Ages.

While the Protestant Reformation did not fully embrace premillennialism, it encouraged a return to biblical texts, which allowed for a deeper study of eschatological understandings and historical research as they were able to find, and gain access to those.

Historic premillennialism gained significant traction during the 19th century in the context of revival movements, particularly in the United States. Theologians helped explain this.

Baptists and other evangelical groups helped spread this more across Christianity. And a more refined & biblically accurate view was finally understood on the topic. There is a more intricate structure involving distinct roles for Israel and the Church, which prev generations of Christianity that came out of the Reformation finally understood clearly.

God doesnt judge believers with those he judges of sin, we see examples in OT of this such as Noah removed from flood judgment, and the Passover in Egypt. He removes and protects those he loves & seperated out. 

So, there will a pre-tribulation rapture where the Church is taken to heaven before the seven-year tribulation. The kingdom is seen as both present in the church and future, with a more pronounced distinction between Israel and the Church.

○The rapture takes place before the tribulation, allowing believers to escape this period of suffering & judgment on earth.

This view is generally referred to as "Leaky Dispensationalism", (since general Dispensationalism had misunderstandings that needed more clarifying too). Leaky Dispensationalism employs a more complex framework that distinguishes between different dispensations in God's plan, and points to a more nuanced understanding of scripture regarding Israel and the Church.
