text: In 1878, Blackstone published “Jesus Is Coming,” which built on previous iterations of dispensationalist ideology. He laid out a sweeping forecast of future events. First on the agenda was the return of the Jews to the land that was then Palestine. Once that was accomplished, the “rapture” would take place, meaning Christian believers physically would be taken to heaven while unbelievers and Jews would be left behind.
