At best you have "proven" that something which may or may not be the Pre-Trib Rapture doctrine (depending on the accuracy of your parenthetical insertion) was known to someone named "Ephraem the Syrian" who lived in the 4th. C., not that said doctrine was or is "true."

That's why I asked exactly what you thought you'd proved.
A very good post, and makes a strong point
