1 thes. 4:13-18 Jesus does not touch down on earth as He does post trib, these are seperate events not a false teaching.
1th 4:13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.1th 4:14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.1th 4:15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.1th 4:16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:1th 4:17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.1th 4:18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
If you want to go through the tribulation period go ahead, but I am meeting Him in the air as thus saith the Lord
Regardless, God is a big God. Pre-trib/post-trib/pre-millinial.post millinial/mid-trib.... etc. Regardless of your personal belief, or whether you chose to concern yourself at all with the rapture, you're salvation does not depends on it. Paul warned us about becoming involved in such petty arguments.
Actually, there was a resurrection before the tribulation, when Jesus was raised. And if we are joined to Him, we are alive in His resurrection.That’s not petty, that’s are future.
Nowhere in the Bible does a resurrection, or rapture take place before the great tribulation.
It is a delusion, it’s just smoke and mirrors, designed by the devil and his FALSE PROPHETS to keep God’s children in the dark and unprepared.
I also feel that the Tribulation period is not the wrath of God. Revelations state that the wrath of God takes place after the seven seal and seven trumpets. On the seventh trump Christ comes to rapture His people then the seven bowls of wrath are poured out. In my opinion, Tribulation could be compared to a refining or sifting process.

The timing of the "rapture" or whatever you want to call it is not clear in the scripture to me. It's not that I haven't studied the scriptures, it's simply that there are scriptures that seem to support pre-trib and and some that seem to support post-trib and some that seem to support some other views as well. I think most things in the scripture (things that have any practical significance) are pretty clear, but eschatology is an exception -- it just seems so riddled (and maybe it's meant to be that way, to an extent). Anyway I'd rather not know than "know" the wrong thing!![]()
None of those scriptures even come close to supporting pretrib
#1 We are to watch so that we will know the season of Christ return. If the rapture is signless and sudden, then why or what are we to be watching for?
#2 1st Thess 4:15-17 does not say what you say it says i think you meant 1st Thess 5:5 and that is referring to wicked people not righteous.
#3 the day no man knows the day or hour of is the return of Christ which we know via Matthew 24:29-31 is immediately after Tribulation.
Nowhere in the Bible does a rapture take place before the great tribulation.
It is a delusion, it’s just smoke and mirrors, designed by the devil to keep God’s children unprepared.
The pre-tribulation prophets have gathered a hand full of Bible verses together and bound them together with words of the flesh, and fear to make it sound like there’s going to be a rapture before the tribulation.
BUT nowhere in the Bible does a rapture take place before the great tribulation.
We are going to be tried and tested just like everybody else in the Bible.
Jesus comes at the end of the tribulation at the last trumpet.
1 Thessalonians Chapter 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

It just happens that Jesus comes in the clouds.
It just happens that Jesus comes at the last trumpet.
It just happens that Jesus comes with the voice of the archangel..
It just happens that Jesus raze the dead first.
It just happens that the two end time prophets are razed from the dead.
It just happens that the two end time prophets hear a voce saying come up hither.
It just happens that the two end time prophets are razed in the clouds
It just happens that the two end time prophets are razed at the sound of the last trumpet
Revelation Chapter 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.14 The second woe is past; [and], behold, the third woe cometh quickly.15 And the seventh angel sounded;
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets
Corinthians Chapter 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
The two end time prophets are killed by the beast at the end of the great tribulation
confirmed by
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Actually, scripture does not say that there is not a pre tribulation rapture. Scripture does not say when we will be caught away, in relation to the tribulation. It is recorded in scripture that there are members of His bride in heaven before He returns to rule and reign on the earth for a thousand years, which comes imediately after the tribulation is over. And that He comes back with the saints.
It is not written when we are caught up to be with Him. That there will be a trump of God, but is that the last trump? Maybe not.“Actually, scripture does not say that there is not a pre tribulation rapture”
NO the scripture does say there is NO pre-tribulation rapture, because it’s a post tribulation rapture.
And a post tribulation rapture automatically says there is NO pre-tribulation rapture.
“Scripture does not say when we will be caught away, in relation to the tribulation”
YES it does Rv11 at the sound of the last trumpet, at the end of the tribulation. The two end time prophets are killed by the beast at the end of the great tribulation and are razed from the dead.
“It is recorded in scripture that there are members of His bride in heaven before He returns to rule and reign on the earth for a thousand years,”
Now that bit you have got wright.
After the tribulation the wrath of god is poured out
Rv15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. There we are standing on the sea of glass in heaven after the tribulation.
Then we return to rule and reign on the earth for a thousand years,
Rv16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
