I understand that mums need to tell kids things so they can sleep at night and therefore need to half believe those things to convince their kids. But it is forbidden to add to Revelation. We make up stories because the simple truth is sometimes scary to children as they lie awake at night dwelling on it. Revelation is full of scary things. I read it in my childhood and it affected the course of my life in not all good ways because I simply saw it in too simple childish terms. But we cannot add bits that make it palatable for children. Not with the sacred writing of Revelation. Adding a pretrib rapture is not allowed. The rapture is when Christ comes and raises the dead, the first resurrection, after the tribulation events. We cannot twist scripture to make it less scary. These scriptures are holy, true revelations and must be preserved as they are, not adjusted to make them less worrying. It is recklessness on past leaders part and definitely on Schofield’s part to add bits to appease the mothers and cheer up the kids.
