Jesus put a silver glory dust on Rev. 3: 10 for me.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
And in a couple of prophecies He told me that I would make it. Actually that was also in the very first prophecy I got when I was 18 as well as a few in the past few years. You can get all the information you need on why people believe that there will be a catching away. Just do a google search. I am not going to debate this. I believe it.

silver glory dust! wow....i just have ordinary dust.
yes, i know you believe it.
that's fine.
i know why people believe there will be a catching away, because the bible says there will be.
but the question remains as to WHEN. i believe it's rather important to know the sequence of events.
i'm familiar with google searches on pretrib, i just hoped you could present a documented case for it.
regarding the Rev 3 quote, here's some info on it. it doesn't apply to the catching away at all. but that shouldn't damage the pretrib view if it's correct.
Rev 3:10
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
The entire meaning of this verse hangs on the phrase "keep thee from."
The two key words are; "Keep" and "from."
in the Greek here"keep" means "to preserve or protect."
"From" means "out of the midst of," or "out from among."
Thayer's Greek Lexicon; "by guarding, to cause one to escape in safety out of."
In other words, "to be preserved, and emerge unscathed."
Also, there is only one other place in the entire Bible, where this same Greek phrase is found.
John 17:15
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
