Many who bought the book did not buy it due to predictions about when the rapture will occur.

Book sales is hardly a representation of who believes them, especially if you are including the left behind series. If you can’t figure out that the series is fiction, I can’t help you.
But there are lots of best selling authors who are not really.

Did or did not millions excitedly follow these two men because of what they believed and taught about the rapture?

I didn’t. I know lots of people who didn’t. I know more who didn’t than did.
Nope. We oppose him. It is not dispensational theology to predict the Rapture. In fact, I specifically warn against it in my college/seminary class, "Dispensational Theology."Dispensationilists should love this guy. For several years, he has forecast the rapture, only to have to extend the time, when the rapture didn't happen. Currently, he's expecting the rapture to happen this year, 2026, most likely this spring, or this coming fall:

You know, you really should stop sharing all your mistaken theories about dispensationalism. You keep getting it wrong.
Nope.

It sounds to me like marketing.
They tell you how much everyone else loves it so that you will buy their books, watch their programs, and support your tv evangelist.
Thousands of responses, say by email, could be from hundreds of people who send lots of emails.
It is always good to see how the presentation of the data is manipulating your perception.
When you find lots of “best sellers” available at the $5Tree store, your not looking at a best seller, your looking at a much promoted, “didn’t seller.”
Wow, I just checked out the website referred to here. It's crazy, and not strict dispensational thinking, but more someone's idea of a post-trib position, or maybe a pre-wrath position (neither of which are standard dispensationalism): says the Rapture comes after the abomination of desolations, the war with Iran is fulfilling Daniel 11:29-30, etc. etc. As a representational dispensationalist, I don't believe that stuff at all.Dispensationilists should love this guy.

People who mock the rapture of the church are also unable to give the biblical definition of the church.
