It occurred to me yesterday that if on Matthew 24 the return of Jesus is compared to the flood in the days of Noah then we should take another look at the great flood.
Noah and his 7 other family members were the only good people on the planet. Noah and his family coexisted with the unrighteous on the planet up until the flood came. The ark saved them.
In Matthew 24 we see that in order for the coming of the Son of Man to be compared to the great flood in the days of Noah, then the righteous will have to be coexisting with a wicked world. The ark is a symbol of Christ and Christ comes after the great tribulation. Christ's coming wipes out the wicked and saves the righteous.
Post-tribulationism is absolutely Biblical.
A study of Matthew 24 is really how we should be viewing the rapture and seeing how the rest of scriptures mesh with it rather than attempting to conform doctrine to any other pretense.
