Reason # 2 why I believe the tribulation will take place before the rapture.

Dead bodies =food for the birds.
Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Where the eagles will get this food.
Luke 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luke17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luke17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
Now let compared this to Matthew 24:40-41.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Many pre-trib preachers say that Matthew 24:40-41 are verses indicating the rapture is taking place at this time.
But upon comparing this to Luke 17:37, this is not the case. The ones who are taken are the ones taken to be killed.
