Ribera didn't teach a rapture.
Ribera didn't teach a secret parenthetical dispensation.
Ribera didn't teach a future Israel theocracy.
Ribera didn't teach 2P2P
Ribera didn't teach that one day Christ Jesus would sit on a man made throne in Jerusalem and oversee animal sacrifices for sin atonement.
Yes, but the 'theocracy' he did teach about was AC's; that's how the title AC was deflected from the Pope, which was Rib's task. The thing is that this material later became adopted by the Brethren who were trying to solve disputes between RCC and Protestants.
Let me tell you what this is like. I was in Moldova 10 years ago, and a Baptist pastor's youth group was thriving. The Orthodox priest was incensed, and found people to go out at night and throw bricks through the windows of the Baptist church, in an impoverished country where it can easily take 2 months to repair and where winter is really raw--and the Soviets sometimes turn off all centralized propane when they feel like it. They knew the priests considered them antichrist.
If you lived around that for 200 YEARS you probably would be inclined to find something that bridged some gaps. As you may know from the Tudor period, Elizabeth, etc, it was much more violent than broken windows. You lost family and friends, sometimes daily.
