It begs the question: Why were the French so eager to sweep this fire under the rug of history?
This looks like a clear case of fear to me. Fear of what, you ask? Well, think about it.

Believers who do not know how to defend the book of Revelation can become easy prey for those who seek to rob them of its message of comfort and hope.
Why do I make such a seemingly outrageous claim?
It’s because even some pastors of Bible-believing churches relegate much of the book of Revelation to allegory. While they preserve the prophetic nature of some things, they taint the book with uncertainty through their allegorical interpretations.
Notes Johnson: “One is hard pressed to think that all of the great minds from St. Augustine, Martin Luther, John Calvin and Charles Haddon Spurgeon, that though they had read I Thessalonians 4 failed to understand the important teaching of a pre-millennial, pre-tribulation rapture.”
Then he lashes out with his best, Sunday punch.
“Pre-tribulation rapture theology is at its foundation conceited!”

We’ve heard it taught for years. Jesus is coming like a thief in the night, so be ready. He could come at any moment, without any warning, so stay alert. You don’t want to be left behind! I remember hearing this teaching when I first came to faith in 1971.
